Hey Jo, we are just putting finishing touches on the campervan we've borrowed for your re-entry phase: bedbugs, cold water and a crate of beer. Parked on the old railway track next to the river. Should do a treat in this baking heat ;-) See you soon. xxx

Don't knock it hon, you'll miss as soon as you get on that final plane!!!!!

Hey Jojo it was v. nice if not slightly scary 2 hear from u the other day. Most glad u r k and that u didn't suffer any damages from crazy planes and storms etc. Am missing u lots and i hope that all is well now u r safe bk on land. I 4got 2 tell u when u called that we had ella 2 stay and she was soooo cute and small ( she kept mum and john awake all night) and i managed 2 sleep through her crys. Mmmmmmmmmm i feel v. guilty NOT!! Went out 4 lunch with bobbie and k8 and practically had 2 prop mum and john up as they r most tired. I hope u r not 2 bored but i have got an interesting fact/opinion 4 u "New Zealanders only created bungee jumping cause there was nothing else 2 do there!!!" HAhahaha am most jealous about Fijii the closest i can get is drinking the stupidly expensive water. Am supposed 2 b starting my UCAS form 2day but after filling in other info am finding just thinking about my personal statement scary. Soooo i need u 2 hurry home and poke me witha great big stick. love you xoxoxoxoxoxox

thanks for turning us on to the dead fish it was awesome! i can't beleive you're almost home, soak up some sun for us in fiji (monsoon season doesn't lend itself to tanning) and hope you're alright with a canadian invasion in england next year

Hi Jo ... I think the "Anja, hard at work, carrying out the collective farming!" photo should be recaptioned:
"Do I cut the Red wire or Blue wire ... wrong choice & she blows Captain".

NB: I have forwarded all photos of collective vine pruning to anxious Bank Manager to prove his faith in you!

Love Dad xxx

Jo, you are so good with your journals!!! I'm very impressed. We've been referring to your little Thailand list very frequently, and you wouldn't believe how much we bought at the Sunday night market in Chiang Mai. And we were active, too, you'd be proud. We went trekking and elephant riding, and swimming under a waterfall. And it's only like day 5 in Thailand. We're off this week to a full moon party, i second sophie about you leaving the kiwis for asia. It's hot and cheap and we miss you!!!!!
