Hi Lisa/Ben

Lots and lots of great photo's. That 19k walk was something special!!! Did you break the record. We remember when we used to go to the Lakes ,Lisa after 100yds you used to say are we nearly there yet. How times have changed. Maybe you will start going to the lakes again to do lots & lots of walks.

We enjoyed your early morning wake up call 06:50. Great to speak to you. Enjoy your next adventure on the Great Barrier reef.

Love you lots

Mam n Dad

Hi! Your blog is very awesome and i've been reading it few times now! Im planing to do a trip like yours as well in the near future and like to know something about your budget. Has everything worked out as you planed and did you have to spend more or less money than you taught? Good luck guys and thanks by anticipation!

Hey kids,

Thanks for the Copacabana post card, nice scenery indeed!Glad Santa found you at Aussie Dave's, hope you and the Kosnar's had good Christmas, I trust you dragged Lisa to the cricket... good lad ;0)

I had a textbook Christmas back home, lots of pub oriented afternoons with the Southwell Posse.Just signed up the for Bath Half Marathon so although it's a complete cliché, it's looks like I'm going to have to spend January "in training" - I hate clichés.

Anyway, text me next time you're on skype and hopefully see you soon.

Lots of love,

Matt

Have fun in Waitomo - can recommend the back water rafting (which isn't half as scary as it sounds - but jumping into the waterfalls sat in a big tyre is good fun!).

In the spirit of Christmas I would just like to say...I tell you what I'm gonna give you snakes, I'm gonna give you to the counta 10, to get your ugly, yella, no good keeshter off my property, before I pump your guts full 'o lead 1...2...10.

Keep the change you filty animal

Merry Christmas - only 4 days to go!
