Rosie Hello seasoned travelers. Sorry I haven't joined in for a while, but here I am playing one of your guessing games! I kno what a Bogun is now. I also found a more local definition for you! a person aged 12-18, generally from a township in Cornwall, especially from Redruth or Camborne, who wears kappa tracksuits and puma trainers, clutching white lightning cider (2for1 offer of course), so poor they can't afford fake burberry, people you wouldn't piss on to put out a fire. E.G. Look at that f***ing bogun, get a job/life you piece of s***. I know you won't be wanting this experience to end, but selfishly, I can't wait to see you. Hope NZ is all you hoped and you've caught up with Ruth and met the lovely Joel. See you both soon love 'n' stuff Rosie xxxx

Mum Hi my loves, how are you both doing? Sorry it has been so long since we last had contact, but events in Hinckley somehow took over. We are now all home again, Bex is back at Uni and I finally have access to the internet! Iv'e caught up with your blog now and you both appear to be having a wonderful, life changing travelling experience. May it continue to the very last day of your journey! We are all OK, doing the usual day to day stuff, but I think of you every day, wondering where you are and what you're both up to. Thanks for the Christmas gifts. Everyone loved them. We saved the pass the parcel though until Dad returned home so that he could join in the fun too. Keep on having fun and look after each other. love mum xxxx

Steve Hi Sarah & Em Hope your trip to NZ was easier than you thought. Andy and I spent yesterday on the block at Moore River. Planted a couple lime trees and a couple of orange trees, fixed up some reticulation and moved a few rocks around. Had a lovely day. It was sooooo good to see you both and spend time together. We were imagining what you might be up to while in NZ...catching up on sleep was top guess, and thought you might be missing WA a little... Keep me up-dated on your last couple of weeks. Chat soon. One love Steve

cousin sam Hi Girls While you are out there soaking up the hot Australian sun, Jess is stuck in the hotel where she works surrounded by 11 inches of snow, with more to come! Keep on enjoying this great adventure. Can't wait to see the photos. Love, Cousin Sam

Sharon and Georgia Gooday Sheila's, How are you both? Happy to know you are both enriched by being in the 'middle of nowhere' on planet earth. What an amazing experience to not have access to technology, electricity, Chill Out FM, supermarkets and hot running water with lots of bubbles! Bath anyone! Keep on keeping on girls and have fun, be magnificent and soak it all up, Love and sparkles coming at ya both, Sharon and Georgia xxxx

Carjy Hi Sarah and Emily Happy New Year! So what did you get up to in Perth on NYE? Bet you had a blast whatever you did. I spent it at a pub in North London with friends. Really nice change from the usual clubbing shenanigans. Christmas was really lovely in Bridport but you were dearly missed. Just not the same without everyone there. I took some snaps to show you but my usb uploader things ain't playing ball. I took photos of the decorations at Mum's and everything specialy for you. At the moment I'm sitting at a breakfast table at a souless airport hotel in LA. I'm due to be in Nevada but because of the snow there the flight connection got cancelled so I'm here for 24 hours. Yipee! What shall I do? Maybe I'll hunt out Richard Gere and Julia Roberts on Hollywood Boulevard.. or go to Venice Beach.... Hmmmm Can't wait to see you pics of the Kargaroos. Not sure if i'd prefer one to a gecko as a present but I'l let you decide. Oh oh oh and Mum got the parcel a couple of days ago. Unfortunately I wasn;t there to open it but Ma says she'll bring it up to London. Lots of love and can't wait for the next installment... more pics please.. xxx

cousin sam Hi Emily and Sarah Happy New Year. It sounds as though Australia is agreeing with you. Hope the trip to the outback goes well. I'm back in Austin after a great trip with Jess. She's still planning to move to China this summer, so maybe that can be your next big adventure, of course Texas is also an option! Love to you both, Cousin Sam
