Merry Christmas Aaron and Keeley. Enjoy your day - try not to miss the overcooked turkey, but enjoy the drinking you will doubtless be doing. You do right, too!

Oh my God!!! It definately sounds like a terrible chore being a back packer!! Lounging on a boat for 3 days in the sun sounds like bliss. It's absolutely freezing here. There is a slim chance of snow for christmas. I like your message board better than Gemma's, I keep getting abuse on their's because of the football. Glad you are having an amazing time, try not to get alcohol poisioning!! Love Lynnette xx

OH MY MY!!Firstly i'd like to say just how excited i am writing this lil message for you.i feel like a superstar.dont ask why!well...Actually,it's probably because so many people could be reading this. HELLO TO ALL STRANGERS. now let's continue....

Hello Guppy and keeley. Hope you're reading this message in good health. your photos are absolutely amazing!! however some do look very simillar to the old lake district. hehe.

everything is pretty much the same in this country. except for more gun/knife violence and increasing poverty and terrible education,and a slum in the old nhs,added with a continuing increase to taxes. so basically you're better off where you are!

Guppy so much has changed at work.and you know me i HATE change. patels left me all by my lonesome. duncan swanned off to enderby taking sam with her. hardeep..well i have no clue..and then theres just me and chand.tis just not the same.

Anyhoo you two.hope you continue to have an amazing journey! look forward to seeing you guys when you come back. best wishes and lotsa smiles and winks and hugs and toilet paper....from me :)

Hello you too, hope you are both super well and i have just enjoyed seeing your photos and remanicing the places we went. Keep having lots of fun and enjoy it as much as possible. We look forward to seeing you both when you get home and that will probably be over three years since i last saw you, if not more!!!

Stay safe and look after each other,

Kate and Dave xxxxxxx
