Hey hun!

Glad to hear your having such an amazing time - vvvvv jealous!Missing you tonnes!Will send u email soon for a catch up!

see u soooooon!x!

Hello,

So, you are staying out there longer. I am extremely jealous. Once you have started your job you won't have this chance again so you may aswell make the most of it.

I really want to go to the galapagos islands. It is top of my 'places i want to go to next' list. So i look forward to seeing all the pics and hearing all about it next time i see you.

The weather here is terrible. I thought it was snowing earlier!! (I don't think it was but it did look like it. The person who sits next to me told me it was 'fat rain' - not sure such a thing exists!!)

It was a bank holiday weekend this weekend and I had 3 different birthday celebrations to go to which was nice but it meant I spent the whole weekend either drunk or hungover. It was fun though.

Mum is on half term this week so she has come up to see me. I am meeting her after work at the tube (if she manages to navigate the tube on her own that is!).

well I had better get on with some work.

Take care and have fun.

Love caz xxxxx

Hey chick,

You lucky thing staying out there for another month. You are def not missing anything here, it rained all bank holiday :o(. No gossip to report either, I'm not sure where all the good looking guys hide in London.

I have met a few old faces tho, Tim Riley at Flippers leaving drinks. I have his number and he would love to catch up with you when you're back. Also I went for drinks with Tim Brooks and his old house mate Rob (i think). Well any way he remembered you!!!

Oh planning on coming surfing with you guys in August if there is still space for a little one. Do I speak to Kate about it as I need to book some time off work.

Chat soon chicken xxx

oh and by the way, i'm soooooo jealous that you've seen penguins!! hope you took some photos for me  xxxxxxx

LIZZIE!!!!! have only just figgured out your whole blog thingy so apologies for not writing before... Sounds like you are having the most amazing time and glad you've decided to stay longer (altho of course missing you loads!!) I would stay as long as poss if I was you - nothing will have changed when you get home! Don't have much news really... Am in warwick hosp at the mo loving it :) and been doing a few days work at northampton watersports centre at wkends to earn some pennies! Having taken up running for some bizarre reason and doing race for life... went for trial run tonight and almost killed me!

Anyway, continue enjoying yourself!! can't wait to see all the photos  and keep safe, loads love xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Dear lizzie Sounds as though you are having a wonderful time.I am so pleased You are quite right to do these things while you've got the chance.Mind you when you get back we shall expect some first class lectures about your experiences.So you have been warned.The most exciting thing I,ve done is galley duty at the sailing club with your mum and its a typical bank holiday its raining. Lots of love nanxx

Wow, bomb making, pirahna fishing and tuk tuk robbery, it all sounds pretty exciting!

I haven't really got anything to compete with that, but news from my end.....  I managed to get through my assessments and I've been offered a place next month.  Unfortunately I was also hit with the bombshell that there's an issue with my medical, due to using an inhaler when I was younger.  I should find out what's happening in a couple of weeks???

Anyway hope all's still well and look forward to you getting back, so you can show me how to blow stuff up!

Hey all, just a quick note as everythings really hectic at the moment - Im missing out on the vino caliente!!

Am in the process of changing my flights to return on the 1st July so I hope youre not missing me too much! These things have to be done though - I having such an amazing trip and not ready for it to end yet.

Ill be getting off the truck at Lima as planned and will travel north to Quito in Equador with some guys who are also getting off the truck. Very excited!! Then depending on the cost am dreaming of the Galapagos...... will see!

Anyway hope youre all well, lots of love as always xxxxxxxx
