Well we've "ATTEMPED" to update the pictures, but during the process we hit a few snags. Firstly we've managed to find the slowest computer in Australia and secondly Vee ran over my already heavily injured toe with her wheeled chair causing me to screem like a girl and fall slipping in a old woman stylie over our cycle helmets! YES HOW COOL ARE WE!!! Will try and update it soon! but there's a couple photo's there if you wanna check em out! Off to attempt to ride home now on our bike without breaks! - very interesting!!! Love Kylie and Jason xxxx

Hola Senorita & Senor, Coming towards a close now & perhaps just as well after an exhausting dayat the Alhambra & endless walking round the streets of Granada old town. Finished the night at a restaurant where the rich & famous have eaten including Maradonna & Raul of Real Madrid. Nothing but the best for us. Mum helped me polish off another bottle of Rose & I had to massage her calves this morning. Looks like she´s going to have to lower her sights on the olympic games to the 5km walk!. Just going back to the hotel with Spanish Croissants before we pick up the cases & head back to our adopted home of Sevilla for one last blast. Love to u both. Mamma & Pappa H xxxx

Hi there Krishan and Happy Birthday! We hope you have a great day. Left you a message under photo's so go and have a look! xxx

So good to hear from you. Sorry for the lack of emails. We have spent the last 2 weeks on an island called Great Keppel. There was no electricty after 10.30pm. We were working there cleaning rooms, gardening, etc. We even assisted the owner on a after dark SAS mission to the main land for fuel. The holiday village is run on a generator and we had run out of fuel. It was great fun. We went over on his tinny (boat) and were treated to fish and chips for all our hard work. Glad to hear your first year went well Han. Sounds liek you had a great time in Paris. Did you see Mickey and Minnie? Nic - how's Big Brother? We've been watching a bit of the aussie version and its much ruder than the the English one. Must go. We are now in Brisbane. Just arrived and need to explore the city. Lots of love to you both.

Hi, how's it going? It appears you're both working. What sort of jobs are you doing? I'm well, have just successfully completed my first year as an educator of delinquents and am no longer newly-qualified but a proper bona-fide teach. How exciting! Looking back I haven't been sworn at as many times as it sometimes feels like and we do have some lovely kids. Took 40 of them to Paris the other week, it was great. I went to Disneyland for the first time and was sooooooooo excited. Anyway, best get on with the summer hols - busy busy. Am hoping to go on holiday but nothing palnned as yet. Enjoy - i'm thinking of you. Han xxxx

Hope everyone's ok. We are now in Bundaberg. Just here for 1 night as we are off to Brisbane tomorrow. Great Keppel was great, we didn't want to leave! Had the most amazing 2 weeks with our new friends Em and Lee. We even went over to a deserted island and camped over night. So much to tell you but so little time. Will try and put some photo's up soon. Take care all and speak to you all soon. V & S xx xx xx

Sevilla is beautiful & so is Cadiz. Looking forward to a day at the coast tomorrow then Granada on Monday. Doesn´t compete with your trek but very enjoyable. Will be in touch again soon. Check your e mail Tor. Luv Mum & Dad xxxx

Hi guys
Hope you are still having a good time.
We had our first failure with selling you painting on e bay. It was the green Beatles picture and Lucy
ended up buying it! It was not a good picture on the first screen you look at, but we'll try another one
next week. Had a busy weekend clearing our Lucys garage and then ours! What a load of rubbish!
We hired a big van and did 7 or 8 runs. Lucy got offered a job at the tip! She can certainly work hard
once she gets going! Dad had a few mishaps, nail in foot, concussion and falling backwards off the metal box,
luckily I managed to stop his fall. We had a great weekend in Whitby. the most memorable bit being splattered
with seagull droppings whilst queing outside the magpie cafe! Dad was covered, I only had it in my hair.
It was well worth it as the food was excellent. The weather was great, very hot, so had to keep drinking!
Anyway if I remember well, you should be with ellen and richard next weekend, so will give you a call when
you get there.
Lots of love
Take card

Hi Vicky, bet of all the techno phobias in the world, i'm the last person you expected to here from. Well, Graham and Mandy's little girl is all grown up and travelling the world having an adventure. By now Simon (his apparent Sunday name) is wondering who I am. I'll let you tell him, from his picture I can't recall meeting him at any of the famly do's. I've read some of your reports and you really are having an adventure, i'm not sure if you can come back and live 9 to 5 after all this. This really is an great opportunity to learnt and see who else lives on this planet and what you can do to make it a better place.
Keeping have a wonderful a time and as my mother would say and there is no way of stopping her having her say " Keep safe and look after each other"

Take care
Grove

Hi Victoria & Simon, Just a quick hello before we set off for our short break. Dad's been out with Katie this morning doing a bit of last minute shopping........for both of them...Katie has to have provisions while we're away & dad always has last minute bits & pieces he's forgotten! We know Katie will be in regular contact & we'll do our best to master another new techno experience & visit our first internet cafe so we can keep in touch too. We know you've had problems in getting to a pc but when you get back to the 21st century we're all looking forward to catching up on your postcards & photo's. Love to you both. Mum & Dad H xxxx
