Hi you two dear people - just to remind you we are missing you and love you to bits and that it would be great to have an update and hear how your 4 wheel drive on Fraser Island went and the cruise round the tiny islands off the gold coast - but I guess you are SOOOOOOOOOOOO busy!! XXXXXXXX
Francis
Alright Bro!!! Wassssup ? ? ? You know I should start by saying that i'm actually beginning to miss you a little! Had a great weekend with Toby driving his new toy back from Spain. I got a 6am flight to Spain, Landed around 10.30am, got the car and headed west across spain... Drove the whole of Spain and got into France then spent an hour driving round Bordaux trying to find somewhere to stay overnight. There was a huge festival on in the town so it was absolutely rammed.. But had a Morrocan mean in this outdoor temporary restaurant and had a few drinks by the river - being bordeaux, red wine. The got up at the crack of dawn and drove the length of France... All the super-cars on the road heading back from the 24 hours LeMans weekend were cool, but I was overtaking Ferrari's, TVR's, Porsche's... Everyone! The ferry was like a supercar garage... then as soon as we got off and onto the UK motorways... a huge traffic jam, typical. But anyways it was like a mini Gumball (the T&F 1500!!)... great fun! McLaren is going really well... already been to a race as VIP guests with Dad! You sound like you and Liv are having a blast so keep it up! Australia sound's amazing and i'm sure ur meeting some great people. Well stay safe, hope Liv's not too traumatised by the 'tic' incident! Bye bro x
Toby
Hi both of you, sounds like you are still having the time of your lifes- Aus sounds great and the bridge is something I have wanted to do, so beat me to it! Kirstie is now in the USA and although she found it hard at the beginning, she is now enjoying life in summer camp! Francis and I are just back from driving my new car back from Eric's, 1500 miles in 2 days- a great experience and Francis got 130mph out of the car (Fiat Barchetta)!! Belinda and I are off to Ibiza for the weekend, so clubing on Sat night in Ibiza town (El Divino-Miss Moneypennys), so we are looking forward to that!! What has happened to the pictures- lost the camera? Take care and keep up the great life experience!!! Love Toby & Belinda xxxxx

Fantastic blog, thanks. You are having some great great fun and seeing some unusual places to put it mildly! Would be good to see some photos at some point - or not maybe!!!??? It sounds quite different from Asia and seems like you have teamed up with some other backpackers also out for a good time. Can you believe that this time last year you were both sitting A Levels?? What a contrast and how will you ever settle back in the UK? Saw Rosemary in M & S - Matt and Co are doing the 3 peaks challenge very soon now. 8 of them this time around. They have raised thousands of pounds and part of it will go to the SGC Lourdes Fund which is good. Weather still dodgey but a bit warmer at the weekend actually managed to eat outside. Miss you lots and always thinking of you both. Everyone asks about you XXXXXXXXXXXX

Hey guys! Just read all your australia blogs! You stayed at wake up? Was prettty cool but the doorman at night was such a bellsprout! Lol and cheeky monkeys i got barged off the table and landed on my back! And nimbin, what a weird place! So inbred its beyond belief! Anyways if you want some tips on where to stay id stay at palace in brisbane cool bar underneath then palace hervey bay then definately go to 1770 and stay at southern cross its the best hostel ive ever stayed in. Then stay at beaches in airlie beach, base magnetic island, scottys mission beach and calypso in cairns! I fly out of Aus today its so sad, i love this place so much, especially with the aus experience being like a massive family, by the end you know basically everyone on the bus! Anyhow keep me posted, keep having fun x

Hey. You're absolutely right. You're both so very good at keeping us informed about what's going on but we've all dried up - not good enough! One thing is certain though, we haven't forgotten you - far from it. Glad you've done the bridge it must have been amazing, and well done Olivia - you don't even like heights (or at least you didn't!). Did you manage to find the sloping wall on the side of the Opera House? Do try and track down the fish restaurant if it's still there. It must be nice to be somewhere warm again, and it's going to get warmer as you go, so enjoy! Things are pretty much the same here as the last time we spoke.
Lots of love and stay safe Daddy xxxxxxx

Hi Greg and Liv
What an amazing time you are having. The pictures and blog are wonderful so keep up the work - it's worth all the effort and at least we can keep a check up on Greg!
Was in Singapore a few days ago so thought of you guys from there. Dubai's getting really hot now so most of the time is now indoors or around a 'cooled' pool. Lia is off to a book signing later on today and Karl will be at rampworks where he he practicing the Caveman and 180's on his skateboard. NO idea what they are??!!
Lots of love from us all
J,L,L &K xxxx

C'mon you guys - how's Australia? Dying to hear your latest news!
Daphne - Grandma
We've just been looking at all your wonderful pictures, (from the same coffee shop as last time) - you are clearly having a fantastic time. It is so good to be able to share your experiences and see where you are in "real time". I can't believe it's been two months already, but you've still got three more to come. Enjoy Australia, hot water, pure drinking water and everything else it has to offer. Take great care and continue to have fun.
Lots of love from Grandma.

Hi Greg and Liv
Just to wish you all the best on the next leg of your travels. Melbourne will be very different to Asia but I guess you are ready for that now and all those extreme sports!! Great to speak with you on your birthday Greg. Thanks Liv for making it a very special day for him - he's a lucky guy. Stay safe and look after each other. XXXXXXXX
