Wow those cacti were pretty impressive. Good job you didn't lean on one - unlike Andrew watson! x

How much does it cost to go to South America?

I have £300 and am very tempted to work very, very hard for a few weeks and fly out there.

Lots of love,

You're not kidding, I've been jealous all along but have turned considerably greener after reading the La Paz blog. Just opened my Bolivia trip savings account!

Wonder what's happened to Quentin?

You start the current blog with the phrase "OK seems like we´ve done loads since our last blog so just bear with us if this seems like a long one!" - you've got it wrong - we don't have to bear with you - we LOVE:) your blogs - the longer the better . love the perspective pictures too xxx

You do realise how jealous Paul is going to be about the desert star gazing trip don't you? Sounds fab - glad you are still having such a brilliant time - it's nice that you are still saying "....and then we saw the best thing of the whole trip" after all you've seen and done.

Hola guapa,Hope you've got your heads round the jet-lag. Still enjoying the blogs. x

Love the latest pictures! Hannah gets the prize for the biggest star jump!

Las Chichas
Great to hear your stories, we love them. We hope your spanish improves. Nits in the family over the last month have now gone and the girls all have bobs. Em has a gymnastics carnival this weekend and is very excited. Laura is still mad and wee maddie is talking and growing like a beam stork (only 4 inches shorter than Laura now). Love to you all from us all in sunny Queensland XXxxx

Proud of you Rebecca regarding the Geography facts .......

Your pics are amaing and I've just been updating myself on your blogs. One of my biggest achievments is winning a block of butter at the bingo with Gran - good times :)

Off to Baltimore to see Helen on Tuesday so if you get chance send us your measurments Laura. I will send you a picture of the one we think looks best and see what you think.

Bungey jumping sounds scary, but amazing :) Can't wait to see you - and then I'll get to see you loads cos' you'll be in Manchester (I'm so excited about that).

Stay safe - and 'hugs not drugs' is a fine and dandy motto to live your life by man!
