Oc ii the nu!!!!!

With the first week of Edinburgh under our belts we head for the welterweight title for beer drinking. We have a confession.........its midday and we have just beaten australia in rubgy, had 2 pints of ale and a large plate of haggis, black pudding and beans. Ah to be scottish! As we write this blog we are on a day off......thats right! we have been working and tomorrow we head back to the sunny land of rose wine. So far so good. Marina (talent) has settled in nicely and is currently working like a trojan. We are planning on to head to the highlands on our return to the kingdom in search of the myth and legend they call "The Loch Ness!!!" and maybe a wee dram of scotch. but now it's time for a shortbread finger and a grim tale.

PS: I promise we will put photos on once we reach France.
PPS: we're feeling a little light headed.............................................................. .................... ..

The Bonny wee Hills of Scotland!!!!

As the bag pipes echo off the anicent walls and the suns last rays sink into the shadows of every lane and close. Two kiwi's wander the streets in search of a common goal. A goal which has been held by every fellow kiwi comrade who has walked these streets of blood shed and barbaric history. A common goal......................HAGGIS, NEEPS, TATTIES and BEER..............there's so much BEER!!!! We have made it to the mighty town of Edinburgh! well actually Philippa has been here for almost a week, i think her hair is slowly turning ginger................. It is a great town. The history here is crazy. Every corner seems to hold a ghost or a alter where thousands were hung. With an amazing Castle, my first castle ever wohoo!, in the middle of town the cityscape is awesome. Marina, victim, has arrived and seems to be settling in nicely. She's a very cool lady and is keen for a good time. We a based around the "Guilded Balloon" which is part of the Edinburgh Fringe Fest. It hosts one of the worlds most highly rated Comedy festivials. This is going to be cool. Turkey is all finished, packed away and ready for the cutting board. Well better run, I think someone just screamed "FREEDOM" and then there was a sound of an axe........mmmm......no sure!

5 litres for 6 Euro!!!!!!

Bonjour from the land of Vino! France is beautiful. We are staying in a Mansion in St Maximum. Which is about 45 min East from Avignon(south of France)With fantastic food and the nector of the gods so freely flowing how could one not enjoy it. We discovered yesterday that 5 litres of Rose wine is approx 6 euro!!! not only that, at 9am in 35 degrees you have to choose your wine from a tasting of about 7 half glasses! hehe interesting start to the day. The world cup final was very cool. You forget so easyily how comitted they are to there teams. They are Hardcore!! unfortunately france lost. One of the top wierdest moments in life was the other day when we found ourselves at a Haiwiain party in the Provence of france with a whole lot of English, ozzies and Kiwi's. Very funny day. The Photo on the right is our victim Jake and lovely hostess Amanda. Hope you are all well.

Bonjour!!!!

Bonjour madames and mistir's
Sorry about the long interval between blogs. Turkish mountain villages have proven a little hard to connect online. We are in FRANCE!! St Maximum. It is amazing. A small medival village on top of a hill. Amanda, our host, is great. All about fun and living in Paradise. Our flights here proved a little taxing with a 1 thirty wake up, 2 hour drive to Dalaman airport, 1.20hour flight to Instanbul, 1 hour wait, 2 hours to Munich, 1 hour (5 security checks) transfer, 2 hours to Marseilles france and then a very entertaining if not wayward 2hours drive to St maximum. Last night after 3 bottles of bubbles and 2 of red wine, we slept like rocks. Our trip to Cappadoccia in turkey was great. A special part of the world which i recommend to you all. After that we court a 4 day boat ride from olympus to Fethiye. Awesome scenery. The water is a deep aqua/torquise and is warm the the air sometimes. The filming is going well and we're really looking forward to meeting Jake(participant) and getting france underway.
aurevoir to you all.
