Greetings all, its been a long time!!

Epic photos of the sky dive Tom. Every time we tried to jump the weather closed in on us, but I see it as an opportunity to go back to NZ.
Jul those photos of yours bring back some good memories from India. Hampi was fantastic!

As you can see we’ve bought a mahoosive van. Possibly to be called Bertha on account of the size!!!

See you very soon T and S!

fantastic machine! isn’t that back wheel a lot smaller than the front one?!

hotel dusk is really good. bit easy so far but then i am a genious when it comes to point and clicks! 🙂 not sure when its out in uk, but you can use my copy when i get back. final fantasy is good, but not much story so far… also crazy hard! but that makes it more fun.

in kuala lumpar, or something. having a fun time with a canadian chap we have joined forces with. heading to the highlands soon.

im going to bring some Aloe V back with me so you can experiance the taste!

T & G’s new acquisition. No name as yet.

Mayrhofen is in the Tyrol region of Austria.

I should be around that week/weekend for meeting up. See you soon.

Han and I went to see Blood Diamond last night – pretty good I thought, though a little cheesy and laboured at the end.

All good things must come to an end and so I’ll be home on Tuesday and presumeably in shock at the cold and time difference. I’ll only be around for a week (then off again for seven) so maybe we can meet Liv? Where exactly were you skiing anyway – somewhere in Germany?

Jul. Kachanapuri! Kachanapuri! Stroke a tiger (see my previous pics)! Dive in 7 waterfalls! See the Death Railway Bridge (bridge over the river kwai). And if you pay about 10 squid you can get a pic with your head in a tigers mouth I think?!?!

Well, I had an excellent time snowboarding/skiing in Mayrhofen last week.

It all looked a bit warm when we arrived (about 12 °C) but we woke up on Tuesday morning to a village blanketed with several inches of snow and it didn’t stop snowing for the whole week and often went as low as -10 °C in the evenings. This made for excellent snow conditions, but poor visibility.

I sampled plenty of local foodstuffs including Schnitzel, Schnapps, Strudle and plenty of “Grillwurst mit pommes”.

I improved my skiing somewhat with a day and a half on some decent skiis. Weight forward and hips into the slope and all that. Pretty sure I looked rather like a pro;-)

The poor visibility meant that I didn’t take many photos:

On Thursday we got above some of the clouds and saw some sun.

Me and Chris

At the end of 6 1/2 days skiing, it was still snowing!

Solidus, that aloe drink looks pretty foul. How is Hotel Dusk: Room 314?
