Thanks for the photos Dan at least we know that one of you is still out there - communication must be difficult in that part of the world! Are you all steaked & vino'd out yet? It's about time we had a blog, your travel map is way behind now. Have fun, much love J - Freds Mum XX Sorry about Andrew making you late-he works on different time zones to others.

Hey friends and family members...

A little update on whats been happening out here!! Well in the past couple of weeks we went from Buenos Aires (BA) to Uruguay, starting in Montevideo and then to a beautiful little beach side vilage called Punta del Diablo. We chilled on these beautiful beaches (as you know we need a break sometimes from all the hard work we´re doing out here). We then went to Colonia before heading back to BA...

In BA we met Mathew Brown (Daniels bro) and his friend and colleague Lee. I´d like to welcome these 2 newbies to the crew as they will be accompanying us on our South America leg... welcome boys.I´d start to worry Geoff - I think Matt may be a little harder to get cross dressing than Dan, but I´ll get him in the end!!

After leaving BA on a 24 hour coach ride south - and only just mking the bus by the way, we arrived in Bariloche. (Im sorry to say Janice and Ty that Andy´s cyber behaviour caused us to be late for our bus, but luckily (for him) the bus was also late).

Bariloche is the Lake District area of Argentina and kicks Englands arse! The lakes and mountains are amazing - similar to NZ. Weve been taking in the sights and eating loads of Chorizos & Choripans!! The best meat in the world... as well as loads of steaks!! I think between the 7 of us we got about 5 kilos of steak for less than 3 quid each!!!

Well Chile is the next stop - 10 hour bus ride tomo. Fun! Parents, you´ll be plesed to learn that on these long journey bus rides we now have deep discussions about our future careers and aspirations... well, we talk about it anyway!!

Anyway enough of my waffling - Soz about the picture issue... we´ll be sure ot address this over the next few days!! Dont worry we have cameras but now there are 7 instead of 5!!!

Hasta luego familia y amigos

Hi Andrew & the lost Boys, how on earth are you going to cope with this additional fame? I hope you all have copies of the paper. Blog & photos are a bit thin on the ground lately, have you lost your cameras???? Much love Fred's Mum XXX

Well welll well... 5 lost boys are now a global phenomenon. We have made it famous in Rosario anyway...

We went to a footy game - Newells Old Baoys v Rosario Central. It is listed in World Soccer mag as the 22nd biggext in the world... well the atmosphere was incredible and like nothing you´ll ever experience in your life! Newells won 1-0 - my family are Newells so we had a little party after the game.

Well, my dads friend Hernan wanted an interview on our perspectives... and here it is in La Capital... here it is again....

Once we meet him gonna do a night in BA...take him steak buffet.....then gonna go do some cultural trips...there will be no big nights out till Brazil now!!!

Yep you'll have to fend for yourself Dad........you know as well as me you wouldnt of wanted girls...you'd of paid for three weddings by now...dealt with three divorces and you'd have some crap grandchildren with no potential.......us 3 are holding out...the weddings wont cost you a thing and your gonna have decent grandchildren!!!

Cross-dressing is the future of the modern day man...its the best way to get women!!! I'll have Matt in make up before he knows whats hit him...well Dalmonego will!!!

Glad all is well...we'll get some pictures up soon!!! We're in Uruguay now...very differnet here!!

Hi Dan

Seems a while since any photos...all lost your cameras???

Just checking that you have met up with your long lost brother? Has Mat arrived? Looks like the 5 lost boys will become the Seven Dwarves for the next few weeks.

Hope all continues to go well...Please do not get Matty into the cross dressing - it's bad enough I have to look at you donning bras, pants and make up every other day! Remembner he's young and impressionable! Just put him in goal and keep him out of the way.

I'm lost now!! 3 sons to look after me in my old age and where the hell are they when I need them...two in South America and one in Kenya. I knew I should have had girls, they would have looked after dear old dad. Well at least I am not shelling out as much as I do when all 3 of you are in England!!

Missing you all like mad, keep on living the dream for me...how comes none of you asked me to go with you?

Missing you and looking forward to catching up on all your experiences on your return...By the way Dan greta new club just opened in Eastbourne: "Cross Dressers" - right up your street Dan!

Love Ya XXXXXXXX See you in the not too distant future..as soon as your money finally runs out!

DAD xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Well hello Lost boys glad to know you are still with us! Well done for putting the blog together, another ace bit of journalism. I won't ask specific questions as to who did what, but can have a good guess. I am just glad it wasn't in MY house! I hope you enjoy S/A as much as we did, the Andes are spectacular and I think you have tasted the steaks & wine already. Best wishes, love Freds Mum XXX

Hi Guys - wow that is some blog Dan, have just finished reading it and Ty and I did laugh at some of the visions conjured up.... enjoyed trying to guess who said what in the questionnaire.... and why is it men have this thing about not being able to find their way to the toilet when drunk???? That is one of the questions that keeps me awake at night!!

Anyway, well done guys, nice to know you accomplished all those activities and adventures without appearing to do yourselves any permanent damage - apart from your livers that is...

Take care all of you and enjoy South America, we look forward to reading all about it.

Love to all, Sheena (XX - for Andy)
