kath griffin Oh dear, I really do need to get out more as I realise you are now at home!!!! Oops! Praps it's time to have a long holiday of my own! Tee hee! Looking forward to catching up when you're settled back in.

kath griffin Me and computers is a bad mix!! Hard to believe I use them everyday....! So to carry on with my original message, which I have managed to post twice without realising it....! Keep on enjoying your adventure and can't wait to hear about it all when you're back. Things are good here - apart from losing the World Cup to South Africa .... Bristol are doing well and have scraped from 9th to 6th in the league this week and you can tell Jo that Leicester are still at the top!!!! Oh and Lewis Hamilton kinda messed up the grand prix a bit, well to be honest not that I could do any better! So roll on next years grand prix - hurrah! Oh dear, I'm becoming a right sport head aren't I - I need to get out more!!! Look after each other Kath xx

Jules, John and Matthew Hi guys, we are still enjoying reading about your adventures. Looking forward to you regaling us with the many stories you must have to tell about your incredible experiences. Hope you are feeling much better now Jo. Enjoy the last few days, pack as much in as poss and keep the photos coming. Can't wait to see you both. Take care as ever. Lots of love, Jules, John and Matthew xxx

Janev and John Hi! Your holiday looks incredible! Hope Jo is feeling better now. Make the most of it, am sure you are - we got back a few weeks ago from our hols and got a serious case of holiday blues now !! Look forward to catching up when you get back and hearing all about your travels. Enjoy and take great care, Love J&J xxx

Dad and Sue Hi you two Great pics and blog, hope you are feeling better Jo? Train journey looked wonderful, Sue says congrats on choosing the first class ticket and hopes that Jo goes on demanding nothing less from now on! You must have been standing too close to her to catch that. Keep packing it in and looking forward to hearing all about it soon, too soon we guess for you two. All our love Dad and Sue xxxx

Carole Cook Hi guys Sounds like you are having a fab time. So pleased you liked Santa Catarina in Arequipa - it really is a cool place. Hope the Inca Trail goes well - day 2 is pretty tough but just think that when you get to Dead Womans Pass, it's all down hill from there. Alex - very impressed that you braved the guinea pig, I certainly couldn't have done that. Hope the rest of your travels are just as much fun and can't wait to catch up with you both when you get back - perhaps over a nice bottle of Argentinian Merlot as opposed to any of the other South American local tipples which you have no doubt consumed! Take care Carole, Ben and Amelia x

Liz Just caught up on your travels. Sounds amazing! How the heck are you going to be able to cope with coming back to work Alex? Talking of which ... there's good news. Just in case you've spent all your pesos (or whatever) by the time you get home, you won top prize (£50) in the wateraid raffle. And, I'm substituting you with James Kelly the week after next, so who says I need you! Anyway, glad you're both having a fantastic time.

Kath Hey you two Loving the blog and the photo's and am most jealous, looks lush! Dinner at mine when you get back and wine is a must..... South American wine of course! Glad you are both having fun kids and even if England are doing well in the rugby (by the skin of their teeth, if there is such a thing....)... Bristol won today - first win of the season.... and hell if it makes you feel any better Jo, Leicester pasted us! Hope you're both well and extremely groovey and looking forward to Perooooooo - lush place, you're going to love it! Keep having fun and look after each other love Kath xxxx

Ruth Hi Jo and Alex, We are estimating that you are gradually entering the high altitude part of your travels by now. We all love reading your blogs and know that you are having a wonderful Journey. Keep safe and keep breathing the air. Lots of love, Mum & Dad

Carole Cook Hi guys Have been reading all about your travels and am so pleased to hear that you are having a good time. It's so funny seeing pictures of where we were only 2 years ago! Can't wait to hear more stories about your trip when you get back. Happy travels. Carole, Ben and Amelia xxxx

Dan Blythe Been so busy for the last few weeks that I've only just had time to read your blog for the first time. It all sounds great. I'm not jealous really! If I close my eyes so I can't see the rain chucking it down outside and hum over the sound of typing I can just about pretend I'm somewhere hot and sunny. Hahhh, much better.

John Livie Good to see it looks like your having a lot of fun (certainly more than the rest of the passengers were having listening to the band on the way up to see the big JC in Rio!!!) If you could spare some room in your hand luggage for a Rio beach beauty that would be appreciated Take care guys. Livie

Dad and Sue Great pics, good to see you are having fun. Try to catch me one of the local peguins please, I could do with one that pours red wine but make sure it's a good vintage! Dad and Sue xxx
