Hol wow guy! just checking through my favorites on computer and noticed your travel log - haven't checked it in ages and mym my you two have been busy! lauren! I can't believe that those sunsets exist ... they are some stunning photo's! you are so lucky and though i am slightly jealous, at least looking at the pics brightened up my morning some ;) anyways, just thought id say hi since it's been a while, hope you're both having a fantastic time stay safe Hol xx

Lashams Hi, Photos of Bali are fantastic - can understand why you extended your stay! The boys are really impressed with the new surfboard (probably not so new by now) and can't wait for you to bring it over so they can try it out in NZ. We meet Suz and Simon on Saturday which will be just fab and great to have some buddies to help us check out all the local wineries etc. Jimmy and Sam are loving their new school - they think it is so cool that you can go barefoot all day if they like. Rog is down in South Island on business for a few days - seems strange being home alone, but he is back tomorrow. We looked at boats at the weekend and hope to get something we can waterski behind (thought it would be rude not to with all this water around!). Am sure you guys will help us make use of it when you get over?! Have fun, Lots of Love Lasham Clan. xxxx

antony Knights Yo Peeps, hows it hanging! Might be coming out to meet ya, but unfortunately might be Oct next year (if your still out there then???) Me and Jess might be coming out for 6-8 months (i'll fill ya in later about Jess) Anyways, hope things r going well Tony K

I am looking forward to the next update and especially the photos . It makes you seem much closer. Enough of my dribble .Be in touch again soon.Love Mumxxx i

kaye sorrell Hi Lauren & justin Just looked at your new pics - they're great, I love the volcano sunrise shots - that must have been quite a trek !! so you will be very fit , what with all the surfing as well. We have been busy this w/end, also Jenny & Bill came over as they had been staying at Derwentwater, so came to stay on the way home. We are going up to Scotland tomorrow for Theresa - and will say a few words for you and Charlie. Glad to hear that all your luggage turned up at last - I thought you would need those receipts if not Lauren!! - Hope you are settling in there after Indonesioa - it must seem very different again. Well, must get on - will contact you later in the week - take care and lots of love to you both - regards to Suzanne & Simon - hugs from us both - mom & Dave xxxxxx

Lauren and Justin Hiya everyone Thank you all for the messages as always it is so good to hear from all of you. It is especially nice to hear news from Vezza and Marcus, it has been ages guys hope you are both well and it is good to know that we can keep in touch via the site. Hope Lucy & Danny are well; I bet they are growing up fast. And that little Enzo is ok and enjoying his walks in S.P. (Sutton Park) :-) xxxx Also Tris, hiya mate how's things? How is the travel plan coming along? Do you have any set dates at the mo? Let us know maybe we could catch up along the way. I'll try and catch up with you on Messager again soon. Hows Ant doing? Hope the Birthday Preps are coming along nicely. Catch you soon mate ;-) We are still in Bali at the mo, we have become official beach bums and extended our time here by a week (Justin has even acquired a surf board and hangs with the local surfers learning the art of riding the waves) but we are evicting ourselves to the shores of Oz on the 1st Oct. We will do an update in the next few days (with photos from Malaysia, Singapore and Indonisia) but just for a quick update/trailer, we have spent the last week away from the beach seeing the island, we hiked one of the local Volcano's at night to see the sunset and then cooked eggs in the earth for breakfast, we have been rafting in the jungle and seen a few temples and dances (the costumes are fantastic). Bali has been a blast! Catch up with you all again soon love L&J xxxxx

Marcus Hey Loz Long time no see/speak. Just speaking to the wayfaring bushman Charles Sweeney and asked how you were doing and he sent me this way. Have checked out a few of the photos and it all looks a blast! Of course, seeing such wonderful sights and environments really makes me appreciate the utopia that is the West Midlands. :o)) If you ever feel any guilt with regards to the good times you are having; please feel free to come back to the UK and babysit my kids for an undisclosed period of time whilst i travel the world. Honestly, i wouldnt mind one bit if you wanted to, so just ask. ;o) Anyways Loz, all the best & take it easy! Marcus

Verity Loz Sorry its me again. I have NEVER EVER seen you wearing a cap. I did chuckle xxxxxxxxxx

Verity Hello Lorenzo and Justin Firstly can I just say this is my third attempt to try and contact you but as I have got such a low attention span I do keep giving up, but as they say third time lucky!!! I hope you are both well and not having too much fun because I am severly jealous as my most adventurous actions these days is taking Enzo into Sutton Park!! I suppose you know John and Maz will be touching down in Oz, beginning of February, don't know if you will be around to see them but I am sure they would love to see you, and you can use them to get your washing done at their hotel, see olds are useful sometimes. Anyway, I know it is hard and also quite boring replying to everybodies messages but when you do get a few moments would love to hear off you. Also on this site you have to be careful what you write, (carnt slag anyone off). So reply to my [email protected] Take care and love to you both, and be careful!! Verity and Jameson xxxxxxxxxx PS: Charles if you happen to read this hope your ok, dont work too hard!! Lots of love Vez xxxx

kaye sorrell Hi lauren & justin Just to say we are thinking of you both - hope you are ok as we have not seen a message for a while - you know what moms are - they worry and imagine that you have had an accident - anyway - hope all's well and that you are having a great time - my last message doesn't seem to have been posted - I must have done something wrong - thinking of you & sending all our love to you both - Mom & Dave xxxxx
