Coreta Hey Lorna, cool pics you have there! Wow, I so wish I was on that trip with you, maybe one day I will decide to do something similar. When are you comming back to Oz? Not that you look like you will be in a hurry to come back...bet you wish you could just keep travelling eh? Anyway, nothing much to report back home I dont think...anyway if there was, it definately isnt anything as exciting as what you could tell me LOL! Ok hun, look forward to seeing more of your travels and hope to hear from you very soon (although, you look very busy....far too busy to be nerding on a computer!).LOve COreta

HB Hullo again, I know I saw you last 2 days on MSN but thought I'd leave a message too as you're probably going to be on email again (seeing as the lovely cool Internet cafes in Bangkok are such welcome relief). Well, today I look less like a monkey and more like a riddler. Still off work. Probably a good thing as I would scare folk away either that or dribble on them when I spoke :) Love you long time!!

J. Hi L. What an awesome adventure you're having! Awesome pics and awesome stories. Can't wait til you get back to Oz to fill me in on how awesome it is. Awesome news - passed all my not very awesome exams. No repeats for me - phew! Will try an organise some awesome time out in Broken Hill later in this awesome semester but have several hurdles to pass to tee up work etc. Look forward to reading your next awesome blog. J. ps, I once was told off for saying awesome too often, so I hope to make you feel better about splashing it about with gusto! AWESOME! ! !

Mom Hi Lorna, Just looked at all your recent photos....brilliant and read the diary update on EOE site . All sounds fantastic. What a trip!!!!

Say nothing!!!!! You know what I'm like!!!! Will send a proper email over the weekend with all the goss, not that there's much. Audra's back, she's down south at a friends' but is coming up here at the weekend and will be staying in Edinburgh till she decides what to do. All going well I'll see her at some point over the next couple of weeks. Take care honey Luv ya loads. Maw xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

lornyloo Hi all! Bit behind with blog....just been too busy! In Pokhara, Nepal. Just been tracking tigers and being charged by bull elephants in Bardia N.P! Head to Kathmandu in 2 days time. Internet connection too slow...hence why I ain't updating at the mo! John's 40th birthday today so we're all splashing out tonight on cocktails...a whole 160 rupees(about 1 pound 15p a go!) Off to have a walk round the lake and buy some postcards....did anyone recieve postcards from Turkey? (or did the dude I gave them to steal the stamps off them as I thought?) Had some bacon for brekkie today....was s exciting!!!! Bit of a change from Dahl Bhat(traditional nepalese food involving lentils, rice and copious amounts of spices!) which they eat here twice a day! Hope all is well folks, Lorna x

noni Hey lass, Your photos are amazing and it looks like you're having an incredible adventure. It took me ages to find the email with the link but here I am. Will write more when I have more time (am skiving at work) but just to say am missing you but you're not missing much here - the rain is pissin doon and T in the Park approaches for another year so am off to Tesco to get a pair of wellies in preparation. Enjoy yourself doll - stay safe and send me a personal email with any juicy gossip preferably about hot men???????? Much love, Noni xx

H hey Dolly, Will send a wee private email too but I just had to say how great your photies are. Each time they get better. I wouldn't mind seeing a few more fo you though too! Steal some ove Ave's! Love you loads Hetty xxx

Susan Hello, loving the photos and accounts of your adventures so far... favourite piccies have to be the cakes! - scenery pretty spectacular too. Got your postcards so up on the boy's door with some others. Going on our own mini adventure next week, one car (colour unknown), one tent, 8 countries in 18 days following one well arranged plan thanks to a map, the aa online and a few carefully selected guide books - will post message after if we survive. Every day seems to bring a little sunshine and a little rain - something for everyone. Finlay can now swim a few strokes with no armbands, think squeaky beach has given him a "no fear" factor and Lachlan getting speedier. Finners sends a kiss, Lachlan a wave, James a hug -- will post again soon, love susie babe xx
