Hi all.

First of all, that's rubbish that BS8 closed down. It was one of few decent shops still left in Bristol! Any reason why it closed?

Did some work yesterday. We were only working for about 2 and a half hours but still got paid just over 6o quid which isn't bad! We had to move new funiture from a lorry to the storage part of a funiture shop that this guy owned.

Kathryn, I'd be a sprout because no one likes eating sprouts so I wouldn't get eaten. :D I'm so smart.

mummykins here. how are you all doing you fine things. how did the removals go? hope the job hunting is working out. maybe you found out about those places johnny mentioned. it was lovely to have a chat oli. can you believe we are wearing T shirts here atlast! lots of love to allxxxxxxxxxxxxx

haha yes laj that was quite long for me i know, were you impressed? What can i say, i'm very bored at uni but not in the mood to start doing all my work yet so thought you guys would like the pleasure of my waffle messages! Enjoy : )Btw to kelly's question, I'd be a tomato, but are tomatoes fruits or a vegetables? ill let you guys think about that..

Hi Oli, Glad to hear you are well despite the van thing, nevermind eh life goes on! I finally did it - went to Park Street yesterday! Can you belive BS8 has shut down! My fave shop ever gone just like that, why is life so cruel - forget the van this is awful! Take care then Laj and I will look forward to the next journal entry. Sara xxxx

You guys sure know how to have fun! Maybe you could start up a tournament, or is that just too crazy!? I am crazy so...

Hope you are all doing ok, and the job hunting goes well, think of all the extra beer money!

I think we have seen the last of our lush weather, which is just as well really as i dont think Kel should get any pinker! She got proper burnt in the mighty Looe! (who needs to go all the way to Oz!)

To leave you with a final thought... If you were a vegetable which would you be and why? Think about it a while, maybe whilst waiting for your next go at ping pong!

Hey guys,Sorry to hear about your van, think you guys definitely win against me getting my handbag nicked in Barcelona! Are you going to try and get another one or you just going to stick to the greyhound bus?Jon cheers for the pics of Neighbours, I’m a true fan, been watching it since playschool so im well jealous! I took a ganders on Stu’s site aswell (liking the pics btw), and Darcy looks well old now, don’t think he’d get away with being Susan’s nephew anymore! Ive just got back to Pompey after the Easter holidays, I only got 2 weeks off which is pretty poor as its my last ever proper holiday off! Can’t believe I’ve only got just over a month until all my uni work has to be handed in, and then its all over, so sad!!How is Sydney? Climbing Harbour bridge would be amazing, you definitely have to do it! My sis has got an Aussie staying with her at the moment, hes from Melbourne and says it’s the best city in Australia, I think he’s a bit biased though! Hes going to be staying in Bristol until Sept to play cricket, so even though Australia has 5 Bristol boys least we have one Aussie, we just need a few more to even it up a bit!Hope your job hunting goes well!Take care,xxxxx

Hey everyone

Yep, sadly all the camoing equipment, tent and sleeping bags were in the van but there isn;t much we can do about it now. We will continue our journey on the greyhound bus like alot of other travellers do. Shame we lost all that money though.

Going to look for jobs tomorrow so hopefully we can get some money and have something new to do. Sydney is cool, but I prefer Melbourne so far. Once we get used to Sydney I might like it just as much!

We are starting the journal entry about the last week in Melbourne and the camping weel so keep a look out for that!

Speak soon! xx

Hello Boys,

What bad luck, you really weren't supposed to have that van were you?, what with the gasket now this, Hope you didn't lose all your camping stuff as well, but at least you didn't get stranded in the middle of nowhere. Glad you had a good night anyway.

Looks like we are going to have another lovely day weather wise, so hopefully will be able to have a little laze in the garden and prepare myself for hours of earth moving when it's delivered - can't wait!!!

You all take care, look forward to hearing from you when you can.

Lots of love xxxxxx

Hey guys

Yeah it's a big shame about the van but we are all fine, I guess it's just one of those things. I reported to the police so hopefully we will get a response soon. Well thats what we are hoping for.

We all went out last night, had a good night. Luke, Chris and Ollie had an earlier one but me and stu carried the Bristol flag. Its a much busy place than Melbourne, takes a bit getting used to it all.

Families - Please dont worry about the van we are all fine, which is the main thing, a little frustrating I know.

Take care

Jon

Hi boys,

So sorry to hear about the van being stolen, I cant believe it! Some people are so horrible. At least u r in Sydney though so you have made one journey you wanted to do.

Not much going on here, will email you some pics of my new garden friend that mum and dad bought me! U will love it!

Take care and speak soon! xxxx

Hey!

We're back from the glorious land of Looe. It really is magical down there. Went to a splendid little Model Village. I will go into more detail another time as there is so much to say about it.

Gutted I missed your calls! Hopefully speak soon.

Harbour Bridge sounds fab!!!Jon, what kind of sick holding device are you going to be taking up with you?!

Take care & thinking of you all lots xxxxx
