Enjoying all the photos and commentary and envious of the weather as we experience more rain and wind. Only have one concern and its to do with the song "How you gunna keep'em down on the farm after they've seen Paree" !!!

hi. It is the school holidays here and we are going to play in the snow .the photos look really cool !I hope you have a good time in Italy. I went in the wairarapa interschools cross country and came 11th - I only missed out going to regionals by 1 place, as they take the top 10. bye for now oxoxox .

Darryl would like to know if you can smuggle a Ducati back from Italy for him :)

You guys are doing an amazing job of keeping the blogs up, and they're so well written. My 21 year old niece is travelling through Europe at the moment on Contiki. Her blogs are somewhat less informative:) Saturday mornings are now spent sitting in bed with breakfast catching up your travels, perfect! Raj, speedo's are never appropriate - togs, togs, undies! Loving your trip, thanks for giving us the opportunity to share. Love Mingle & Rhond

Hi Harley, I’m really glad that you are having such a good time. We went to FC Barcelona as well and I really liked the trophy room and all of the cabinets. I thought it was only going to be for football things but it was a surprise to see the athletics and handball things as well. Liam and I had our photos taken with Messi while we were there, did you and Anouk do that?
I thought the commentators area was really scary because it was so high and there was no glass to hold you in. I hope you guys are enjoying the food in Spain – we stayed in an apartment just off Las Rumblas and so we went to the night markets and lots of other cool places around there.
The 10th Grade A team (Team Bertos) have been doing well so far, we miss you. We are in the top 3 for our grade and seem to be playing mostly against Onslow, Wests and Kapiti mostly. Enjoy the rest of Spain, especially Pamplona if you get there. From Jacob and all the Madigans

Wowsome beautifulphotos in spain! The art work is just stunning as are the buildings! Love the icecream too and the farton pastry! How about other spainsh food? You must be collecting some fab food taste buds :)

Sitting at home in front of the fire looking at photos of you all lying in the sun......... Priceless
Love reading of your travels luv to all xx

I am imagining how lovely the rose fragrances are!

Hello from Scott. I miss you. Today I wanted to go splashing in muddy puddles, but Dad wouldn't let me. Maybe Mum will let me tomorrow. Have fun.

it looked really cold at the top of the eiffel tower. It is really cool that the fire can never go out.

Hi, I love the traps underground and I would like to go to Ho Chi Min city and see them. I also want some hot weather and go in all the pools you showed. Its rainy and windy in Wellington and I am at nans and poppas and have just been for a ride on uncle Terry's new red quad. We went thru lots of water and muddy puddles and I got sploshed and the bike and my gumboots got covered in mud and had to be washed down. With the strong wind the trees got blown over and the roots ripped out. Schools boring but we read all about your trip and see the photos. The senior playground is really fun when its wet.

Hi all.
You look like your having the best time. London is great and so much to do !!!
Hopefully raj has slowed down on all those ice creams and don't drinking too much warm beer.
Enjoy Paris.
