Hi Jo & Greg, Thanks for the post card from Guatamala - what a time you are both having and I can just imagine how many photos you have taken. We are getting excited - meet Mum at the airport on Wed. in Auckland . I get my eye done again the next day so it all worked out o.k. Whilst we are up in Auckland a friend John Mathieson;s son has a helicopter and is taking Poppa and Di up for ride around Auckland. Bryans Birthday tomorrow so must elmail him. Love Nana

Hi Gregg and Jo,

Your trip along the Inca Trail sounded pretty tough,to say the least, but it was obviously so worth it when I look at your wonderful photos of Machu Picchu and the area around it. I'm sure you enjoyed a bit of a break when you got back to Cuzco (or is it Cusco?)

So now for Bolivia . I remember seeing the salt flats in the movie Motorcycle Diaries and they looked awesome but very desolate. Should be a photographer's dream. Can't wait for your next blog. It's like waiting for the next episode of Neighbours.!!!!!

All well here. Weather still great if a little colder. Pussies fit and well.

Mum is enjoying Melbourne. She was at the Melbourne Cup on Tues. and would you believe managed to back the winner. She'll have to treat us all in NZ.

Keep well and safe and look after one another.

Dad

I can't believe you have just both completed that!! Wow !! You are both awesome and I'm so proud of you. That has to be the most dramatic scenery I have seen and it must be mind blowing to see it for real...but to have climbed to experience it is such an achievement - well done. Popcorn will never loose its association with Machu Picchu for you both for years to come I bet. A Fantastic blog - congratulations.

PS. Greg I can't believe you carried a 26 kilos load - if you could have seen me struggling with my suitcase the same weight - where were you when I needed you?

Enjoy a good rest in Lake Titicaca - you owe it to yourselves. Take care.

Love Mum

Hi guys,

You both look great and seem to be having alot of fun good for you.The Pictures you posted are great I showed them to the girls so they can even experience a little of what you guys are so keep up the pics. Make sure to stay safe and use common sense( like not so close to those cliff edges)

Love you guys,

Will post again soon .Ill send you some pics from our great family adventure to Disneyworld in December

Hi Jo & Greg, we were so thrilled with all the photos and the side shows are wonderful - we spent all morning going through them all and reliving your trip. You both look so well and we cannot wait to see you at Christmas. I am having three days collecting for the blind and just off now to my destination outside Pac and Save. . Jo I have some photos on my Picasa but I dont think I can add them to your Blob ?. Nana and Poppa.

So its goodbye Central America.You will certainly have memories of your time there which you will never forget.Your blog brings your trip to life for us and we almost ( but only almost ) feel we are there with you. The photographs are fantastic and are getting better and better.

I arranged transfer of the money you asked for ,Jo. I did it yesterday, Wed. and it should hit Gregg's account within 5 days. Spend wisely!!

Dad

Did you get my message..........gonna have to be late May..........Is that alright?

So jealous of those mid-day margarita pictures! Looks like you guys are having the time of your lives! Miss you!!

Hi guys, your photos look amazing! -Have you ever thought about being a travel photographer with that camera of yours Jo? It's so nice to see you both so happy enjoying your trip! Not long now till we will all be sitting around together listening to your stories in NZ! We miss you guys! Lots of love, Lani xxx

Hi, Greg and Jo. The pictures are awesome. Love the flowers and the ruins. I guess you will not have to take a shower for a few days after all that rain (bath). You (both of you) look relaxed and happy. Enjoy the adventur and be safe. Stay away from the BIG SPIDER! I know that you are getting economics, geography, history, etc. lessons all at the same time and first hand. God Bless you both. Love Mom and Dad.

Nice blog. Paolo and I are stars now that you mentioned us on the 6th of october. I hope that you had a great sunrise in Tikal. I ll keep watching your blog over the next months. enjoy!

Great to get all your news. How we envy you basking in the sun. Not sure we'd like the creepy crawlies though.

Your photos are fantastic and it is great to see you both looking so fit and well-----and HAPPY.This is the trip of a lifetime so don't miss the opportunity to do it all.

I have often referred to you,Jo, when you wer growing up,as a cheeky monkey. Now that you know what they look like you can see it was a compliment!!

Dad
