Hi Aly and girlies! Love the photos, had a good chuckle at them! Would like to see more "Spot Katie" photos, maybe you could hold a competition! Autumn has definitely arrived, cold and windy today with thunder and lightening. Nice parkas by the way! Keep on truckin and giving us boring people an insight into the world East of Dover! Love SAm XXXXX

Hi Em, just had a look a the latest pics. Very good, I wish I was with you, no problems over finding you job, I'd soon get you out to work! Just as well as I am not with you, there would just be work, work work! Sorry I missed your telephone call on my birthday, but as you can guess I was out with the family, but thanks anyway. Sandy sends her love, just spent the weekend with her, my one and only holiday this year! Look forward to seeing you for New Year, although I guess you will either be out on the town or asleep. Take care of yourselves and be good. Lots of love scary cos Jack xxxx

Hi Julie, i have just been catching up on your photo's they are really good esp the sunsets!! The pictures show you are really having a good time. It will be good to see you for new year. keep in touch Sam xxx

Hi Koots, just been looking through your latest photos -they're really good! It's funny that we've got one just like yours of the 12 apostles, except ours has got an extra rock in it! Glad you've had a good time in God's Country (that bit was from Damo) and hope you have fun in New Zealand -we loved it there. Just make sure you're careful when you drive cos we saw a few nasty accidents by tourists there. Things we loved in New Zealand that we would recommend are... adventure activities in Queensown, full day climbing Franz Joseph glacier (hard work but worth it), the Englishness of Christchurch, the smellyness and geo-thermal activity of Rotorua, skydiving in Taupo (over the massive lake, and it's the cheapest place in New Zealand to do it), caving in Waitomo, and if you get a chance, the diving in the Poor Knights Islands is amazing (but cold!). Have a great time and hopefully speak to you soon, lots of love, E&D xxx

Hi Julie - mum has been keeping me up to date with your adventures. Hope you are all still okay and enjoying yourselves. All is well here, cant wait to see you in the New Year. If you are thinking about what job to do when you get home MI6 are recruiting spies, I think you would make a good one, apparently they have disguised the job title by calling it some sort of analysist, but the 'word' is it is spying, are you interested. I am not mad honest, it was on the T.V. today. Looking forward to seeing what you think of New Zealand. You could possibly get work on the flower farm that Alan stayed on I will e-mail you the address. Take Care.

Hi Jules, just looked at the very latest photos on web. So where is the picture we took while you were flying the helicopter!! Fab picture of you and Toadie. Still looks like you're all as mad as ever. love mum xx

Kate - you were right, Price William, Richard Branson etc were all in Falmouth last week as it was Prince Will's friend that did the rowing around the world thing & they came to Falmouth to welcome him home! They then all went to the Chainlocker pub down in the harbour and were there for 6 hours - trust me to miss it all!! Mum xxx

Hi Merry Travellers, really good to see the latest photo's - it still looks so tough for you guys! I agree with Mum Lumm I wouldn't mind a few hours lying on Bondi Beach right now - it's pouring with rain here in Falmouth & feeling chilly! ......... Ah well, hope you all have a fun time on this leg of your adventure!
Love Mum xxxxx

Just been looking through your photos and when you say Bondi beach disappointing i'm just sitting here thinking i wouldn't mind being there right now!!! Sounds like you're enjoying being adventurers again.

Dear all, I still think you should go to see Toadie in panto when you get back, just to confirm the urban myth..... Missing you loads Aly, but it was lovely to speak to you today and hear you laughing ( with me I hope, not at me). Please take loads of photos of NZ for us. Aly, did you get a picture with Toady? I hope so... That's one for the banner at the panto...Love Sam XXXXX

Hi Em,
Thought i'd say a few words as have just been having a browse through your pics. You guys are smiling in every photo which is fantastic and so glad that you are still having heaps of fun. Really looking forward to what you have been upto in New Zealand, its amazing. Did mum give you the address of our friends in Whangarei, North Island? They are worth a visit if you are still that far north. Peter & Mandy Chapman-Smith. 53 Te Hape Rd. whatever code is i think 09 4386034.
Anyways went to Divs a few wks ago and it was awful and will not be making a trip for a very long time! Back at uni now, have dissertation stuff to look forward to-yey!
Keep up the smiling, fun and frolics
take care, faye x
