Yassas!! Another missive from the ol' rat. Me and lorraine and Mark are still hauling around Greece, Just about to leave Corfu for Paxi. Still nice and hot here. Its Greek Easter (Pashka) here which is like English Christmas but with fireworks, guns, Raki & dead sheep. Leaving the party atmosphere fore a serene final week on a tiny island, then off to Italy for the last leg home :( Have fun you two and see you in rainy England when we all get back. XX

All is ok here although Keane has now disappeared off back to the big smoke so I am all lonesome again:-( Ah well I have no excuse not to get down to some serious training for my sponsored run now so kinetica fitness here I come! Take care guys, loving the journals xxxxx

We have met up with two backpackers from Australia aged 68 and 70!! they put us to shame, but we are getting there. Just about to catch a train to Patras (5 hr journey) catch up wth you later. Love from Lorraine, Mark and the Rat xx

Hey ladies, Just got back from my own mini trip in darkest Hull/Antwerp! Had a night out in Hull and oh dear god it was a mutton/slapper festival, highly amusing to watch though. Never seen so many people wearing short and tight clothing who really shouldn't be! Our ships are crap and kept repeatedly breaking down hence I didn't make it to France but actually had a really good laugh. Made friends with some foxy sailors (if anyone's keen??) who have promised to send me regular updates from sunnier climes. I think you are all in it together to make me jealous of your exotic travels! Off for some birthday drinks later - gutted you guys can't come too but will have one for for you, no doubt Keane will help me out with that one!
Glad to hear you're still having fun, miss you both loads love Emxxxxxxx

hiya, hope you are having fun and enjoying yourself still, not long till australia now!

I went and saw the film hostel the other night, I would thoroughly recommend that you DO NOT go and see this film till you get back.

We enjoyed our own spring rolls last night but I seriously doubt they would make your top5 but we only did it to feel closer to you.

Speak soon, Dean
