New Zealand looks to have scenery a bit like your homeland. Seems like you are having fun and adventures to look back on in your future life. Soon be time to phone Kemnay and get all the family news. Look after yourselves. Uncle Alan xx

Hello gals!!! Been muchous usy at work (we moved to Westhill) so this is the first time in a bit I've hecked what you're up to!

Sounds like you're having fun in New Zealand!!

Not much news here - Rach I'll be in touch about the "Banff Quines" Xmas get together etc - Oh and it was snowing last week! Bet you miss that!

Me and Rosie enjoyed looking at your latest pics of New Zealand, we're very jealous as its baltic here, Rosie very wary of the white stuff! Take care xxx

Gayle, I am soooo impressed at the up-keep of the blogs etc. God, I've been home for nearly a month and STILL haven't even looked at all our (2 THOUSAND!!) photos, nevermind written wee spiels about each destination. I guess that must be the teacher in you eh?! Weirdly, the waterfalls in Bonito remind me of some photos I have of some in Croatia and I bet the favelas were an eye-opening experience eh? Ross and I saw plenty of suffering over in Eastern europe too, it's nae good like. We are back in Glasgow looking for jobs now. Enjoy the travels while they last! And if you manage to blog-it the whole year I will be well impressed. looking forward to your next installment. xxx

Paid to fly to LA and stay in a 5 star hotel?

You lucky sods!!! Mucho jealous!

Missing you loads. Becca is having a halloween party at her flat next Saturday.Miss you at all our gatherings Gayle. Will send you some photos! Take care! x

Quick update on the girls for those of you who are waiting to hear about New Zealand. The girls were bumped off the flight from Santiago yesterday and ended up in Los Angeles for a night! I'm sure they will fill you all in shortly. They are currently on a long haul from L.A. to Auckland.

Hi Gayle. Been reading your latest exploits in Brazil. Piranha for tea sounds great! Tesco's seems boring beside your gourment delights. When do you move on? Pic's are great as well. Enjoyed my stay in Kemnay and the cats kept me occupied - they are great. Hope this finds you both fit and well, Uncle Alan xx

Hi Gayle,

So good to hear from you! Have been enjoying all your updates and photos, what an exciting adventure!

And do I read correctly that you are both coming to Australia?!?! I'm living in Brisbane now with my boyfriend - moving to Melbourne just before Christmas. What are your plans while you're here? Would love to meet up again, so excited that you're headed down under.

Enjoy the rest of South America!

Hannah.
