Please send photo of 'green eyed yellow monster to the north of Katmandu' if you see it!
Best wishes & keep up the good photography, M & H

I must confess, I have only now checked out the photos, and also want to go there too, dang (hate it when alli is right). It all looks so relaxed, beautiful and interesting. Me want holiday on beach too! F***ers, stop teasing us with your pictures, I don't want to see any more. I love work too much to go on stupid holiday! Yah work! By the way Stu, how was the coconut beer? I am very intrigued, and that might sway me to leave work and come over.

Hi kidz, all sounds and looks like another fantastic holiday. I never fancied going to India, but you are changing my mind, well Alli's anyway, so guess I'll be tagging along with her at some point in time. Stupid question, but how are the Chicken kormas?

Hey kids, I know I've been a bit poo with keeping up the indiviualised emails, however, very glad to hear that you guys are still experiencing life like no others have done before. You have lead me to start dreaming up of all the areas of the world unchartered by the common traveller. Still awaiting news of the job-business and once that is all finalised I can plan the rest of my year! Still hoping that I can do some work for the rugby guys in Christchurch in Sept... tie in a week in AKL visit all you guys... anyway, craving some warm sun and hoping to get to brighton for a day with Lee during easter... Keep on trucking on you two x wen

Hello Jo & Stuart. What a wonderful trip you are experiencing. Something you will both remember for a lifetime.
How good you have been with emails and updating the website, keeping everyone up to date with progress.
We (here in Wellington) look forward to seeing you when you return to Auckland.
Love from us all
Ann

Hello, sounds like you're having a fab time and I love the pics of the elphants. Need I ask how the cricket was??
How does the local curry compare to Weatherspoons Thursday night specials? News from Blighty...the usual drunken fuled nights at Infernos - somethings have not changed!!
Enjoy!

All looks really lovely and more restful so far.Glad you managed to see all the cricket,and Joanne enjoyed it too. We are half way through our Cyprus break. The weather has really picked up a few gears,nice and hot, just what Nicola and Matthew are looking forward to. They come out on Wednesday. We have booked a weeks cheapy to Sharma El Sheik in mid April.Dad is looking forward to some scuba diving there

After a very wet day here, envious of the glorious sunshine you're enjoying! Looking forward to the next instalment of the Whitney travelogue!
Love Hilary & Malcolm.

Hello again. I have just caught up with your journeying, have read the full account of the robbery and marvelled at your photographs, which are most impressive. There are two of a beautiful sunset and as for the Angel Falls scenery, wow! I found your top ten highs and lows informative and had to smile at 'Hair' and the 'bubbling unders'. I am sure Malcolm Case ( of journal fame) would be only too happy to assist here. Have you kept any other written record of your trip and travails? Have you lost any weight? We are sure you are having a wonderful restful time in NZ, luxuriating in hot clean showers, comfortable buses, plentiful ATMs etc. For those of us who do not know NZ, will you include a little info and a few photos from a tourists perspective?
We are settling into our 'new' house (it dates from the 15th century) and really like it. I have had to make some clothing adjustments going from a centrally heated, hermetically sealed, carpeted flat to a mediaeval town house with stone floors, single glazed windows and, on the advice of the Conservation Officer, low temperature heating. I wear 4 layers! and that's in bed!! (Only joking). Looking forward to the next installment. Love from Anne and Malcolm.

Just wanted to leave a message to say this has been a most interesting diary to read.We think you ought to make it into a book.plus some of the photos, perhaps you want to wait until you can add the Far East adventure as well. BON VOYAGE

Hi Stuart & Jo,

We loved the pictures of the Galapogas Islands, you were so close to the wildlife it must have been fantastic! The colour of the sea reminds us of Antiga, we were there last month-only for a week though, nothing so glamorous as you two! Hope you`ve both been `bug free`so far this month. Happy travels in New Zealand, our neighbour just got back Saturday after 8 weeks, the temperature sounds perfect, enjoy.

Best Wishes,
Jane & Ray

Just finished reading your first words from NZ and very well written resume of South America. We can't believe it's been four months since your first instalment. Congratulations to you both - your story-telling skills have got better and better! The robbery incident was so well described we felt like we were there too. That must have been awful, and a salutory lesson to anyone thinking of following in your tracks. anything to report back here? Gossip? Scandal?? Not really. My keyboard keeps missing capital letters. Is that news? Can't help you with QPR I'm afraid. this year's eurovision song is a rap number with schoolgirls. I guess that could be scandal!! Enjoy your time in NZ - you've definitely earned the break!
