Antipodean adventures... the itinerary!



Dear friends and family.
Well, here we go again, this time for a two month trip to the Southern Hemisphere. We're trying to avoid the cold of a UK winter! Quick few days in Dubai, then onto Australia (Perth, Brisbane and Sydney), then New Zealand (Auckland to Palmerston North), and finally New York on the way back. We are travelling with Iain's sister, Kirstine, until 20th December, and visiting various friends and family along the way.  See you all when we get back at end of January 2018.

For those of you wanting more detail, or if we're visiting you and you want to know when we arrive, here is the draft schedule:
