kristy you might know this already darren but....... WE WON THE ASHES!!!!!!!!!!!!! 3 nill so far

Virginia (other mum) First, note for 'dad'. "I even watched the cricket on Saturday night - how amazing was Gilly!" Hi guys, very grateful you looked after Gizl, she does that at least once every holiday - sorry, did we forget to mention that!! Great work on the commentary Daz - it's keeping us all very entertained.

Sarah Well hello there L, G & D Sorry I've been so slack. Just got email so I've updated myself on all of your travels. It sounds like you've all had so much fun! Can't wait to catch up for a night on the town/ BBQ when you get back to hear all the things you couldn't write on here! Be safe guys & gals. Love, Sarah

Jenni(Mum) Hi kids, Couldn't let Darren's family get all the praise, so here we go. Just wanted to say how much we have enjoyed the journal entries - especially hearing all about Linsey's bodily functions!! You all sound like you have had a ball and I'm sure you will miss Chang Mai. Keep safe with the rest of your travels and keep having fun. Lots of love from OZ.

Pam OK - I'll be brave and post an out of family message - I had checked in prior to say hi but thought there must be a rule about being related to Darren before you could post. We're enjoying your journal and had quite a few laughs. Glad the black goop got things moving - I wasn't sure if the sniffer dogs would let it in the country. Enjoy the delights of Hotel Bangkok Airport - it will be a memorable part of the trip. cheers Pam

dad how good was it today POms all out for 129 and then watching them cry as we approached their score. Especially funny was Pieterson pinging at the stumps with both batsman already home and creating 7 runs

Daryl Good to see the Colonel finally got a gig in your journals. I trust his meal was some of the finest cuisine you have had over there to date. Will miss you at the xmas party Daz. Boss, Benny and I are going to put in overtime to cover your ass though. I will send photos through.

kristy in the pics of week 2 darren u need to undo ur top button! geek!

Kate Great message dad!! By the way, bananas are back!! $4-$6 dollars now (per kg that is, not each). I have to apply for a cornea transplant now seeing as they just got burnt to a crisp from trying to focus on some bright white object sliding down rocks!

Dad Take no notice of cricket scores pitch is unbelievably good for batting

ellen mum Hi all, Another great entry in the journal. Did you honestly sit on the neck of that beast for 3.5 hours? Loved the cooking entry but my favorite is Mac pale pastry cascading down the water course, classic photo. Keep on having fun it does not look to hard to do. Kisses

Ellen mum

Coombes Nut I bet that Kiwi was left handed - probably faked being right handed, although my bad, haven't met a red headed, left handed vegetarian Kiwi with that sort of smarts! Good to hear you are having a great time fella and lasses. Survivor just aint the same without you.
