Its sounds like you two have the knack for sussing out the best places to go! Me thinks you may be writing travel journals when you return. Glad volcano was smoking good for you. Definitely fancy being buried in the sand - your own special spa. We celebrated Simon and Dan's birthdays yesterday and missed you both. Take care. Lots of love and bigs hugs MomsXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Hello Gem and Graham, your photos just get better and better. How long do you reckon it takes the geisha girls to get ready before they go out. Absolutely love the gardens. Glad you're being well looked after. So good to see all the blue skies in the photos - v. gloomy and grey here. We had snow on Sunday evening!! Take care, love and BIG hugs
As everyone else seems to be putting in requests could you please bring me back one of those beautiful deer. Love the photos, it's difficult to realise that between the times you update the blog you have packed in so much.
Keep on blogging.... Love Heather & Dad

Hey Guys
Looks fab - can see why it reminds you of Whitsundays - really does look similar!
Japan sounds amazing not at all what I expected but looks worth a visit!
Keep updating us - it is like our own little travel show!!

Hi guys
Japan looks wonderful, really would love to visit one day. Grandad will enjoy the pictures of the Autumn colours, spoke to him and he says that you can grow Japenese maple really well at home, he used to have a lovely red one in his garden in Loughton, maybe you could get him involved with choosing some for your garden, when you come home?
Great to hear from you again, will keep ytou informed of how Grandad is, keep having fun love you loads

Hi to both of you.
Looks & sounds like you are still having a fantastic time. The mountain & lake look just my kind of place & makes me wish I was doing the same thing as you (One Day). Glad I'm not a fish out there. Good to see the concrete cow, MK ones have Moo- ved to city centre. Miss you but glad you enjoying yourselfs. Keep sending photo's & updating blog. Love always Dad & Heather
Dan
Looks like your having the best time. One thing you must do. Visit a koi farm and send me one back!! Although by the sounds of it they probably wouldnt treat it too good xx

Hey Folks!
Just got your blog link from Ed (you probably told me but I lost it). Japan sounds cool, me and sarah have been thinking about going to Japan for a while, who knows when we'll actually get to go. Sounds good though. I did see some kids practicing for X factor or something in the mirrors at the bus station in MK once but they were probably going to fight pretty soon after, ha ha! Not much new here, got all my hair chopped off, that's all I can think of. seeya. jon

Hello Gem and Graham, well it sounds like you definitely did enjoy catching up with Katharine and Lianne! V impressed with the photos..loved the Japanese garden. Just remember..eat raw fish, live longer (or eat fish that are still moving, live even longer). Yuck! Katharine and Lianne haven't changed a bit. Sounds Like Japan is definitely the place to be. Take care, keep on sending back blogs and photos. Lots of love MomsXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
