Hi babeeeeeeeee.... LOVING the running commentry. Now if I was there you would know ALL he bargain shops. It is funny to hear you mention all these places I know like the back of my hand. I miss it lots. SO sorry to hear bout the phone.... In all my years there it wa the only crime I suffered. 2-3 times actually... my excuse is that I was too drunk to notice though. LOl.LOL.

Shelley and I are both fine and thinking about you lots. Take care now and be VERY alert all over the Uk. not just London.
My only tips for the Europe trip.... WATCH YOUR BELONGINGS DOUBLE in Spain, beware of the YUK loos in France and the dog poop. Italy has heroin addicts galore (apparently) so another mugger alert! XXXOOOXXX flo

Thanks for the update, sounds very interesting. I recognise a lot of the names and places, not because I've been there but by playing monopoly, Ha Ha. Must have been good not having net access for a couple of days, at least you got sightseeing in. I am meeting with your new tenant tomorrow to sort things out for you. Keep up the good work over there, look forward to getting the next update. Enviously, Shelley

Hi All. Sorry about the delay. Shaz has been ill the past few days, and is finally recovering. She promises to update the blog soon. As of this moment (Sunday morning, Western Europe) we are in Arles France about to depart for Nice. We will then take an overnight train to Paris, where we hope S can recover fully from La Grippe. Bonne chance! ~~ Brett

Hi, I am recovering slowly from a very nasty bout of flu. Everytime I stop work I get very sick:(

Cheers
Sharyn

Hi Shaz. sorry to hear you are crook - I must be going out in sympathy cos i am sick too :-( not too much news to report. There are a few bits of wharetana etc popping up on trademe, that is my excitement for the week. LOL. The girls are fine. Have you shopped till you dropped yet? Probably a good idea to save a lot of that for Bangkok- it is very cheap for clothes, shoes, handbags etc. You can get some designer goodies to flick when you get home. Playboy, Roxy and Diesel are very popular at the moment. Ciao for now. xxx flo xxx

Leaving UK in 3 hours time - on my way to Bangkok where I will be staying at a Spa Retreat:) I'll be sure to check out the markets. I arrive home to New Zealand late Wednesday. Brett left this morning for HK and then Sydney, he arrives home Sunday afternoon (NZ Time).
