Hi Bridie, YES I'm still reading the blogs, I hope all is going well you certainly seem to be settling in and I know the girls are looking forward to seeing you. I hope you don't mind I've pinched the address to make use of,it's great having skype but that's no substitute for post at times. Take care,I shall still enjoy all the blogs you girls put on and I hear you are having another visitor soon. xx

It was lovely to read your latest blog and of course your final one on South America, what memories you will have for the rest of your life, I am glad that you have allowed me to join you on every step of the way. I look forward to reading about your next steps on your great journey which now takes you to New Zealand. Carry on enjoying yourself and take care, you have yet more memories to discovery. XX

....To be continued!!!???........but I cant wait!...... I was into that then!

Oh you lucky girl, I would have loved to go where you have just been, having said that I think I may have been on that train waving as I passed you, I am looking forward to the photos from the new camera. Take care. x

So sorry to hear about all the things that have happened in the last few days, these things happen. Hope you manage to replace the camera with one that is equally as good, then you can start off again and start enjoying your trip. Remember it's still just a camera and you are ok. Take care. x

Thanks Bridie, it has been good to have these little chats,Ok so they have gone and we are all getting back to normal.The party Saturday evening was great fun despite the tears I thing everyone had a very memorable evening,sorry you weren't there but maybe we will repeat the process when she comes home.I agree with your mum,I actually thought of the same film as I read it,rather you than me on The Death Road,I've seen the pictures before. Bye for now. X

When you said you were going on the chicken bus into the jungle I thought of the movie Romancing he Stone wiv Michael Douglas, Danny Devito & Kathleen Turner! Remember that it gave me a real chuckle!
