Although my parents are now back from their round the world trip we've received four postcards from three different countries from them in the last two days. Yesterday we got two from the Cook Islands and today we had one dated 17 March from New Zealand (which they visited before the Cook Islands!) and one from Los Angeles.

Whilst my parents have been travelling the world they've sent us lots of postcards, unfortunately though the ones from New Zealand seem to have taken ages to arrive. Looking at this article from the paper this morning it seems like the problem may have been that they just used our address rather than actually describing where we live - amazingly it only took 4 days for this postcard to reach Norfolk from the Canary Islands! Generally I think I'm lucky if a letter reaches Dorset from London in the same time...

We got another postcard from my parents today - it arrived a bit quicker than their previous cards from New Zealand North Island but it still came with a odd sticker on the front indicating that it had come via Darussalam.

Another postcard from my parents arrived today - we've got quite a collection now. They've been away for less than a month and already we've got cards from Singapore, Perth, Sydney and Ayers Rock.
