Hello! We will just miss Hannah, we are going to arrive in Lima on 5th Nov, and are leaving Cusco today, just finished the inca trail, was great! Speak soon...

Hi Hello Hey YO!....We had a murder mystery last night. Was huge success....were pleasantly surprised that we were able to cook a whole meal without Emily....and clean up after it without Ruth!!

Culimated in horrendous cocktails and Charlie wearing women's clothing AS PER.

Han is arriving in Lima on Nov 1st then straight over to Cuzco for Inca trail. Will you be there???

Hello....well did you LOVE the Inca Trail, i hope there was no D&V episodes!! Whilst you were away in the wilderness of the Peruvian Andes, Chelsea lost a game....yes can you believe it! Well, when I say lost they technically drew and then lost on penalties to Charlton (of all people), though it was only in the Carling Cup!! Thought that might please you.....I shant tell you any of the other scores! Needless to say all the best teams are no longer in the Carling Cup! Also Harry Potter is coming out here in 14days....yippee! I hope you get to see it over there......loads of love Dannie xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

hello? emily? gavin? (first time using v. snazzy message board - am slightly warey, feeling much pressure to write something interesting knowing that anyone could read this, even parents!) You guys sound like you are having a great time, reminds me of my youth, when i was away 'travelling', wind in my hair, not a care in my head etc etc. Not like now, up at 8 (yes 8!!! - v. early in the morning for me) work at 9, working with idiots,payed a pittence, spend my evenings applying for other jobs i'm not sure i really want. might be homeless at the end of this week...... still, only 40 years of employment to go. Roll on friday thats what i say..... if you want my advice, stay away, don't come back....in fact do come back, then you guys will be applying for jobs too...misery loves company. Love to you both. hollie xx

I'm going to astra zeneca tomorrow for a meeting and lunch, very exciting and grown up me thinks!!!its laura's bday today so i've been making cake... mmmmm!!and thats about as exciting as things are in brum... though it is halloween soon so i'm trying to promote fancy dress at work, no looking so hot really but ill keep trying!have fun climbing the big hill.... xxxx

Hi Emily and Gav Just to let you know that the CD arrived today so if you decide not to come back at least we will have a few photos - that is if we can bribe someone to open them. Thanks for phoning Gran Gavin - she really appreciated getting a call on her 81st birthday. Veronica called her too after she had visited the hospital. Someone run into the back of her (No calm down it was her 4X4 not your car!) so Alex and her were taken to the hospital for a check over. She says her truck is OK even though she was stopped at the time and the other car pushed her a full car length. The chaps car was more or less written off it seems. Dad was up seeing Rangers this weekend but I see that all your friends keep you posted on how they are doing. I hope you are still both having a fantastic time. Keep us posted. Love mum and dad XXX

Hello Emily and Gavin!!!
Still sounds like your having an amazing time....I have been crap at saying hello mainly due to my progression into the high flying world of consultancy (please note the sarcasm in my voice there!). The job is going well... not half as much fun as being away with not a care in the world apart from where to sleep and get your next meal from. I miss those days!!! Cant wait to see you at Xmas Em, I think that Trops has missed our presence for way to long now! Take care both of you and keep on living the dream! love Vic xxxx

Hello, I bumped into Charlotte from Geography in a pub in La paz, very funny! Bebo, I jumped off the ramp straped to a person and a piece of material! I guess you havent managed to read that far yet! Im glad that your managing to fit chocolate into your daily routine, its very important! Missing you all loads, cant wait for a pint in the Hollybush at Xmas

Well this is harder than it seems! Ive just written a message and it dissapeared so im not sure if I sent it or not! But I was saying before it vanished how exciting this is, but now ive changed my mind, its all very confusing! Sounds like you're having a fantastic time!! Brighton is a bit rainy at the moment, but me and my housemates have got two kittens they're called winston and molly and they both say hello, winston is sitting on my knee and im suspicious that he may have deleted the message like a naughty little kitten that he is! Take care of yourselves. love louise xxxxxxx

Helloooooo! My my you are having fun, really exciting to read all about where you have been, makes me reminisce about all the places that I saw. Glad you went to Copacobana-how blue is Lake Titicaca??!! Its so beautiful isn't it. Isla del Sol is pretty and lovely too-did you manage to do any of the Peruvian side of the Lake?
News from here is that Chelski and Liverpool both won last night, which means they both have 7 points, and both likely to go through. Rangers drew, and are 3rd, but that group is still quite close. Wallace and Gromit has come out at the cinema, and is excellent and v funny; Saddam Hussein has been put on trial, which he is quite grumpy about and won't even acknowledge his name, and apparently we are in the middle of some crazy bird-flu pandemic...though personally I think its hysteria. I need another cup of tea now, how's the Coca tea going down over there? Found any more cheese since you left Brazil? Take care, Loads of Love Dannie xxxxxxxxxx

Hi Gav and Emily Great to hear that you are still having a wonderful time. We have had fun watching the red blob move on the map. Will look out for the CD with photos and with our IT abilities you probably didn't need to say that we have not to look at it! I'm (mum) shattered this week - Birmingham Monday, Taunton Tuesday morning, Bristol Tuesday night, back to Bristol again today (Wed) and back in Somerset tomorrow. Pat and Brian and coming to visit next week so it will be great to catch up. V has handed in her 2nd year Phd work and her team won the south region's science competition in Oxford so she now gets to go to London to some flash do. If they win there they get a trip to America and £1000. Can't be bad. Dad's watching Rangers at the minute - say no more. He says not to forget to visit the ruins at Cuzco.
Love mum and dad XXX

Hello Emily and Gavin!
It all sounds very exciting. Remember to wash and try not to go too brown. This is the first time I have looked at the website (naughty me) and there's a million messages and I can't read them all, I don't have time! But when I do I will know a bit more about what you've been doing- at the moment I'm still reading the bottom ones about Rio. So I will pretend you are still there. How is Rio? Is the photo called 'ramp' taken from the giant jesus statue that's in Romeo and Juliet?
I am at the gym where they have free internet :) This morning I have been out early rowing in my little boat (one person boat) and it was really nice because it was misty and not windy and then the sun burned the mist off and it was quite warm. Next we are going to do a trunk strengthening session in a group. Then I have got a massage!! This sounds fun but it will hurt because the massage lady is cruel. Then I am going to work, the boss is away at the moment so we will turn the music up and probably eat lots of chocolate biscuits and drink lots of cups of tea. I will get home at seven and Oli will cook my tea and then I will do some washing and then it will be 9pm, which is bedtime! It is busy but I am very happy because I'm doing what I want to every day.
Lots of love,
Bebo xxxx
