Mario Hi Brad & Jen, just catched up with your blog. That's an absolutely awesome journey you're having! And brilliant writing, a great laugh to read! :-) A workmate is heading to Guatemala and Belize for 3 weeks in March. Any must-see's or recommendations for him? Enjoy the rest of your trip and many greetings from snow-covered Germany! Mario

mum Hi Brad & Jen just read the blog mega double edition brilliant!!!!We've been having withdrawal symptoms!!!! Love Mum& Greg xxxx

Jen Blog is now up! Digest and enjoy. I stupidly didnt know the British army had a base in Belize, then I read your message and today a British soldier got on our bus collecting money for the Red Cross as they are heading out to Haiti in the next couple of days for 2 weeks.We gave generously, I felt so proud of our boys! Love you, can't can't wait to see you in one month!! xxxxxx

Dad Hi Team, Last blog post two weeks ago, us Bloggies feel starved of information..........you're in Belize which must have email access given the presence of the British Army..!! Glad to hear your feeling better jen - kidney's just can't take the diet? Look forward to your next post Dad, Mum, Katy and Saz xxx

Sarah D Happy new year guys!! No doubt you had one to remember! xx

Hugh Hi Guys, sounds like your having a fantastic time over there. Looking forward to seeing you when you return. Happy new year!!!

claire Greetings from chilly London! How are the Galapagos Islands? Made any groundbreaking discoveries yet Jen? Just a very quick note I'm afraid (on lunch break) to let you know that Rock Sausage tickets are now on sale-Muse, Pearl Jam, Green Day and others have already been announced...I'll probably get tickets at beginning of Jan \("early bird" offer of 180 EUR ends 4th Jan) as Christmas is getting a bit pricey, what do you say? Lots and lots of love, Claire

Dad Hi, 3 months to do the first email and then a second hot on it's heels....thanks for filling in the fate of the old fella. I thought that you would have been to the Galapagos Islands by now - when does your boat leave? Suggest we have a week-end in the Lake District when you return and I can take you up Scafell Pike. Anyway keep going and enjoy One week until the Christmas hols and Switzerland - we will miss our very own social organiser... Went to see Chris and Caz last week-end and saw 100's of seals, great sight but no penguins Lots of love Dad xxx

Jen and Brad Hi Mum and Dad, thanks for your messages and dad it is good to see you finally got your act together after 3 months of us travelling and sent an email (much appreciated!) In answer to your question, the old man had a big paddy about the fact he couldnt go up and he couldnt go down and the guide sent him down on the 2nd day on the porters back. Poor guy had been training for 3 months! You should both definitely do it, such an amazing experience and without a doubt one of our highlights of our trip so far!! Our next plan is to climb Kilimanjiro/Ben Nevis etc etc... PS anyone looked at the footy funtastic placings recently?? Does Chris claim to be a football fan...? hehe. Lots of love xxxx

Dad Hi Guys, Halfway through your holiday and I thought I'd better FINALLY write an email. Inca Trail sounds great but what did happen to the 70+ year-old American - did he fall off the horse and die in a river?? Walking abilities must be a Hatter trait improved by dog walking in Belgium - Boots sends her love!~! Galapagos Isles should be brilliant - 5Live this evening were discussing the 'Blue Footed Booby' - the females of the species are attracted by the darkness of the male Booby's feet and the longer since they've had a mate the darker the blue - Jen keep a look out for dark blue footed Booby's..!! Anyway great to know that you survived the Inca trail and weren't kidnapped and ransomed - we had saved up GBP12.56p just in case Anyway PUP and look forward to your next blog LOL Dad
