G'day people! Oz is just amazing, we are having a fantastic time. We'll send an email soon but we had to post a message to say tha twe went Dolphin Kayaking in the sea and saw about 5 pods of Dolphins about 10 m away which took our breath away, it was incredible! We also surfed the waves in a Kayak which is as difficult as it sounds. Sydney was wicked we even went to the ballet at the Sydney Opera house, pretty cool. We will put on our Oz photos soon there's jjust not enough time as the beach is only 5 mins away and the sun keeps beckoning! Thanks for all your messages, we do read them promise! For all those with exams we are thinking of u (well a bit on the beach!) and miss you lots. We are meeting up with Nic and Dave (Gem's school friend) 2moro, can't wait. We're about to go to dinner then meet up with some friends we have met on the bus, everyone is really nice (if a little post A levely) but we don't feel too old. We're enjoying relaxing and chilling in Byron Bay for a few days before heading up with Nic to Brisbane. We might even try some surfing... We'll tell u how it goes later! Until our next email take care and keep smiling, love us 2 x x x x x

Hello beautifuls! Havent left a message for a while so thought I would. I am obviously having the best time of my life at the moment - I get up, sit at my desk and read and write and type, and then I go to bed. It's really fab - if you get chance while you're away you should try it for a couple of days.
Actually - have had lots of fun too - went to conference which was fab! So much fun - had 2 hrs sleep on last night and had a stinking hangover all of saturday and most of sunday and met some really great people (both socially and scientifically mind!). Oooh and I saw Chris Whittaker there Row. And its Miles'ssss party on saturday and a big family thing the weekend after so cant complein really!
Thankyou for your beautiful good luck charm - it has pride of place in the living room. Although we do fear there may be fights about who gets to take it into their exams (which I really dont think is fair cos Im smallest so Ill lose - sob sob). Anyway - off to do something amazing ;o) Tell you what - you guys do it for me - Ill just get on revising.
Love and snogs and huggles and tuggles and face-smacking mwahs, Me xxxxx
Ps - gem I wasnt being rude on phone or anything but figuured youd called to talk to Tom and so didnt want to keep you! Mwah xxxx

Well, I've just oo-ed and aah-ed like the best of them at your rather splendiforous photos. Everyone looks very beautiful and sunshiney, even the hairy ones up the trees, and it makes me smile like a cheese to know that it's all working out for you and you're having a most gorgeous time. In fact, even the sun here in England has had his hat on of late! Nothing much has changed round here. My wisdom tooth is has pushed its way upwards another millimetre but I'm just as silly. So much pain for so little gain. Canterbury was fabulous, though. And now it's bedtime... which rounds up my boring little injection of what life would be like if you were in the real world. Continue to have the time of your lives, and I can't wait to hear more. Night night, sleep tight, and really do mind the bugs don't bite. A massive hornet has got to hurt! xxx

Can't believe how organised you are to have your own website - if only my revision was as organised!! Really glad you are having such fantastic adventures, I hope that Australia is just as good. Here is rachel's email, [email protected], you should give her a buzz, im sure she would be very excited to see you guys. I wont bore you with dull Cam news, exams are looming but so is May week, so what the hell!! Take care and keep us posted! Muchos love, Mags xx

Hey Gemma, looks like you're having a great time, and the pictures are awesome (I dig the apes and the landscapes are beautiful). I think you've just convinced me to plan myself a big adventure trip. Sorry to be brief, I've got to get to class (sigh), but glad to see you're having fun!

Wow - how exciting to talk to you on msn! Am very very jealous and now I'm missing you again cos Ive just spoken to you. This website is fantastic for procrastination you know - now that you're not downstairs anymore Row and I cant come and just plonk myself there for a bit when im supposed to be revising :o( Off to Warwick today so will no doubt leave you a message when I get back to let you know how it went! Give a big huggle to my cousin if you see him (unlikely i know but you never know) his bike failed in his ironman competition so he couldn't finish and he's understandably just a tad fed up now!
Love you both,
Love me xxxx

Great photos, great web site, great time. I need to get my 16 year old to check this out so that she will go and do something like you Big Adventurers. Be safe, have fun.

Whoops! meant to say pitty you haven't shaved!! dyslexia rules!?

Hi Row and Gem,
Great to see the photos. Row, i specially like the ones of you up the trees, petty you have shaved though! Will check the rest of the photos when I get back from London.
The toe nibbling seems rather kinky.

love Anne and Melv
