London Heathrow, UK

Touched down in the UK, having completed my 4.5 month adventure. I have enjoyed each and every moment of it ( well that might be a bit of an exaggeration, but its has certianly been an experience that has taught and changed me in me in many ways). It will be interesting to see how I cope with reality again! Over the…

Arrived in New Zealand on the 4th Jan and spent three days in Christchurch, bunking at a hostel that was once a jail up until the 1900's. Hopefully this will be my first and only stay in …

Cat [a.k.a. Twatty] Litterally; oh my f***ing God! Your adventures sound amazing Smellster and I'm so so jealous that you've got the chance to do all these things and see so much of the world! I want to come tooooooo!!! Where you going next? How long you abroad for? Up for a visitor??! [wildly planniing... probably be too expensive or too far away but I can't not investigate a bit in wild hope! :D] I'm so incredibly proud of you for getting out there and actually doing it; good on you babe! Most people spend their whole life thinking or talking about it, but I'm so glad you're actually, physically living it!!! The summer I spent in Guatemala and Romania was probably the best of my life - just the whole experience of travelling and seeing the world and how other people live, how different we are and yet how completely alike and similar we are too... Not negating the actual experience of living like a traveller; often a pain in the arse but you get to stay in some amazing places and do amazing things! I remember going skinny dipping during an electrical storm whilst we were staying at a hostel only accessible via boat in deepest darkest Guatemala, surrounded by high cliffs with the most amazing lightening you've ever seen... it was incredible and something I'll never forget. And then the next day I jumped off the top of a waterfall called "The Seven Altars" all because I wouldn't be beaten by 8 year old Guatemalan children! I can't wait to hear your uncensored stories over a cocktail or twelve when you get home - when are you back? Are you coming back!?!? Happy (belated) Birthday as well of course!! I certainly hope you got suitably wasted to do me proud (or had an effing good reason why not :D Men, prison and aliens are the only acceptable excuses!). Anyway, it's 5:30am in the morning here, and as it's me and there's no way in hell I'd be up this early unless the building was on fire... I haven't been to bed and I'm staying at the pub and the demon cleaner will be here at 9 (curse her) so I must say adieu for now - and if you're at a loose end in a glamorous/ s***ty cafe and you want to type crap to someone then email me the contents of your head :D But I completely understand that the world calls and won't be in the least offended if you don't :) Tonnes of love- keep going babe! And don't forget a single minute! All my love, Twatty xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Gran Hi Kelly, What an adventure. I'm learning something every time I read it.You look absolutely great. The weather here is of course damp and very cold. We had a lovely Christmas with your Mum, Dad, Michael and Bobby. Your Mum cooked a fab meal. You'r Dad's contribution was his home made soup. Lovely hearing your voice on Christmas morning. Stay safe. Love Gran XXX

colin hi kell,hows life down under. top band , men at work,. check them out. u ain,t missing much weather wise here, its starting to get cold. i move into my new house tomorow. as you might know me and heidi have split. we are the best of mates. take care kel, have fun.x Hi Colin, nice to hear from you. Wish you the best of luck for the move will have to come and have a nosey around it when I get back. Shame to hear about you and Heidi but great news that you are still in contact. Brilliant weather here usually though ironically as I write this it is bucketing down outside. In Airlie beach at the moment so in the tropics now. Going on a whitsundays sailing trip 2mo so hopefully the sun will come back out for then. I think you would probably appreciate Australia its a little bit of a mix between UK and US. Take care xxx
