Hi all...glad you enjoyed the latest blog - still no luck uploading the photos as getting online is hard at the mo!
May try and upload some here but not sure if it can cope with it! We will get them up soon though - promise!
Glad you are safe Mum and Dad T - we were a little bit worried when didn't hear from you but we guessed that it was the signal or credit. Sounds like you've done loads already you little travellers!
Since arriving back in Sydney we've enjoyed the Blue Mountains (very cold but beautiful), the Hunter Valley region (wine, cheese and chocolate tasting - yum!) and some of the east coast! We are now just south of Byron Bay - we're listening to the sea as we type! Lush!
The campervan's cool - we have power and a fridge this time - a treat! Did have to get the antibacterial wipes on it though! We're getting old! We're also glad we hung onto our own sleeping bags and we purchased some cheap pillow cases too!
Mum & Dad G - enjoy Scotland - a quiet country getaway is just what you need! Fresh air and lots of yummy food!
Smellen - enjoy the wine and Italian food with your lover - we love Italy too!
Aunty Sue - Mum and Dad T were very well behaved - a fab time was had by all! We especially enjoyed having some new people to talk to and a bed to sleep in! The views, activities, food and wine were a bonus!! Dave says tell Keith he couldn't see the woman showering every morning in Sydney - he really did check every morning!! Maybe he was up too late! Tee hee xxxxxxx

Read your blog update and look forward to seeing some photos. Had a fab time with you in Sydney and Rarotonga. We are experiencing problems sending e-mails here in USA and also there is no signal on my mobile phone - really frustrating!! Anyway we are having a great time - been to Las Vegas, Zion Canyon, Bryce Canyon (snowing there!), Lake Powell, and Monument Valley. We are now at the Grand Canyon - its awesome. Hope you are enjoying your travels up the east coast and that the camper van is comfortable. Keep in touch and look after each other. Lots of love, speak soon. Mum and Dad xxx

A Beth And U Dave,megan And Caitlin
Gday guys, fab photos really jealous of the ones with the dolphins. Megan want's to know if you counted them. Couldn't find Dave hiding behind the rocks, think you were teasing us. The news from Caitlin is that she has a wobbly tooth (her first one!!!!!) Megan has been playing "when the Saints come marching in" on her cornet, she is doing really well. We are having great fun following your journey. Take care of yourselves and carry on enjoying, lots and lots of love A Beth, U Dave, Megan and Caitlin x x x x x x x

Hi Both, sorry I missed you on skype yesterday - would have been good to see you! Nevermind - let me know when you are on again. Lovely photos - wish I had made it to WA now - oh well - will have to go back :-) I am not sure Dave is that cool - he has pink shorts on....:-)
Miss you both lots and looking forward to you coming home. You will miss out on a wine weekend in London this weekend. Love you xxxx
Mum And Dad T
Loved the photos - some brilliant shots once again. The wave rock formations are incredible and the beaches look so beautiful. Very brave Anna to get so close to the wildlife! We did warn you about the flies - nets essential! Great to chat to you both yesterday and to actually see you - both look really well. Nice tan developing Dave but don't show too many people those white areas! You'll be able to surf for real at Bondi in a few weeks. Love to you both, stay safe and enjoy the next stage of your adventure. xxxxx
