Your tea chests have arrived safely.

All ok here. Looking forward to seeing you both again.

Mum.

Hi Julia & Paul,

I reckon you were wise starting up north before hitting the touristy areas of Varkala and Allepy ect which sound expensive but more comfortable. Maybe you can take me there in a couple of years he he.

All fairly well here at home. P. starting school next week. Apparently has a male teacher. Allie nearly off the bottle and now into serious pottytraining whilst the weather is warmer.

Luv and hugs and to Paul and his Dad too. Mum

Hi Julia and Paul

Thanks for your interesting blogs and photos. I feel as though I am there experiencing your adventures with you. You seem to be really getting around, the bus trips sound exhausting. Not long before you are back here.

keep well and safe

love Helen/mum

Hey Jules,

I finally found out this site from Rae and I am absolutely loving it! You take the most amazing pictures I cant believe it! Not long until you come back - I can not WAIT to see you! Wedding plans are coming along nicely - let me know when u arrive so I can meet u at the airport!

Love Katie

Hi my lovely,

Just got back from Raro and been catching up with the latest places you and Paul have been to. Gosh, you guys really are getting around and although some places and habits sound totally disgusting(the pooing on the beaches etc), other villages seem charming with friendly locals and good food. I reckon its so good that you did this trip now and not when you are older and used to the comforts of home(like hot showers,decent transport and a cosy bed)

The MAF inspection fee has been paid. Your 3 boxes will be delivered next week. All sorted.

Love and miss you, Mum.

Hi there, Julia,

Mart passed on this link to us- hope you don't mind that we've been following your travels with interest - as well as Martin's. What am amazing place - so different from the Europe and UK travels we hear a lot of from others. Hope you continue to uncover lots of new experiences - particularly of the enjoyable kind. Love also to Paul and Martin. Hope to meet you some time in NZ.

Love, Auntie Sue

Jules,

Happy new year to you! How funny that you saw turkeys and managed to get a photo of them too! Now all we need is a picture of you eating a doughnut and I will have full house on the picture front! I am enjoying reading your diary although I am not liking the sound of he general hygiene levels! Kym and Aggie would have something to say about the beaches being used as a loo! Anyway, stay well and happy.

Love,

H

Wishing you a very happy new year. Amy x

Hi Julia, I've just read your latest blog and it sounds like you're still having an amazing experience. I hope you had a great Christmas and enjoy the New Year celebrations. Best wishes for 2008! x
