Lovin the blog hun, enjoy urself lots and will see u soon Lots of love nic xx PS- also loving the '1+2=' in the corner, makes me feel good about myself!

benjamyn Please don't bring home an elephant. With a new puppy coming tomorrow, we shall proably have enough clearing up to do anyway.

Rachel Give the elephant an affectionate pat for me, please. Hope the seafood bar was amazing - yum! xxx

benjamyn When youstand near the ele[phant before or after riding, just remember which end not to stand next to. xx

benjamyn I can only begin to guess how tough it will be on the beaches of Koh Samui. All that sand. All that sunshine.....

Rachel Hello!!! Nauru looks amazing, and thank you for the answer to that year-long conversation! Hope you're OK and looking forward to Thailand xxx

benjamyn For the avoidance of doubt, the speeding ticket referred to is not Alexx's but your's truly.....

Rachel Hey... Glad your arm managed the kayaking - although I guess it may have made it quite sore?! Easter services are upon us, but luckily the hostel is right next door (literally) to the Catholic Cathedral here in Dublin, so handy if you're running a little late for Mass! xxx

Rachel Hello from Dublin! The hostel computer is having an issue with Hotmail and Facebook, so thought I'd say hi via here! Today we went to the Guinness storehouse, which was really good. I have optimistically brought 2 pairs of shorts (albeit quite long shorts) with me, but it is a bit too chilly at the moment... :o) Hope everything is still fabulous with you. Miss you, lots of love xxx

Rachel I really want to go canyoning now - sounds like such fun!!! I am particularly impressed with 'Rachel's Spring', although would prefer it if it wasn't so smelly! xxx

Rachel Glad you are having a lovely time with your parents. The Antarctic Centre sounds amazing, as does the muddy kart-riding! I am looking forward to seeing glacier photos; am now having A-level Geography recall moment - glaciers was one of our main topics :o) xxx

Rachel Thank you for the amazing sweets and fab badge! The parcel arrived just after I spoke to you! I changed your clocks last night :o) xxx

Rah Hello lovely!! I thought I'd put an appearance on your message board...haven't done that for a while..ok ages!!! looooooooooooooooooooove yooooooooooooooooou!!!! xxx
