When lulu read about the rabbit, and that you were worried it might be an omen for the trip, she said you should have got out of the car and cut its foot off, as rabbit's foot is meant to be lucky (not for the poor rabbit, obviously)! Anyway, in a land where you're never quite sure what you're eating, I think it 's better not to make any more jokes about animals! And lastly, I do feel rather 'vulnerable' leaving messages that anyone else can read - more inclined to check my punctuation, etc. But I feel that it's a good medium through which to say: Hello, Shelley!! Hope you're having fun too. Lots of love xx

Your blogs are fantastic - I almost feel I'm there with you, although hearing what you're doing I think I'm glad I'm not! Don't suppose there's much point in saying take care, as you clearly are not! Hope Priya's head's getting better. Mama and Lulu have read your blogs too and love them. Miss you and love you xxxx (This thing about having to solve a sum to send my message is bizarre!)

hahah your post made me laugh doubt that half a bottle of shampoo wil now make your bags light as a feather! v jealous you have churros every morning for brekkie...i remember having them in spain with lau on the spanish trip, they were yummm and the only thing we ate! sounds like you have a nice tour and reassuring you have a medic! lau you should have taken mrs serrano with you for moral support im sure youve got some spanish at the back of your brain somewhere?!! If its any help i think i still have my presentation from gcse on my computer so you could tell them in spanish that you live in a flat in finchley and what my parents do!!! i like what ems did with the camera, thats very me! all sounds very interesting and like your having a good time! back in birmingham now! hope you are reading these messages, knowing you two you probably dont even know this message boar exists!! love you both looking forward to reading more xxxxx

Hi Girls

Just read your first two blog entries. Glad you arrived safely and it sounds like your making fast friends and making the most that Lima has to offer. Miss you both loads and Lau, sorry i didn't get the chance to speak to you before you left - you know what show week is like - MANIC. Anyway, sending you both lots of love. Be Safe. BGMY (Be Good, Miss You). Hay xx

If you get this message then I think I'm brilliant, as Laura didn't tell me how to do this! It's wonderful to read all about your travels - please keep updates coming whenever you can. You didn't tell me about the rabbit (read it on Shel's message to you) - but I think I can guess. Just got back from Nottingham Open Day and Ben was very impressed. I won't make this message any longer in case you don't receive it, then I would have wasted even more of my time. Please let me know if you do get it, though. Hope you have a wonderful time, till we speak or blog-message (is there such a verb?) again. LOve you loads, Mum xxxxxxx
