Steal as many photos as you like, I'll steal some of yours too!

Also, remember that the pics I've put on Photobox can be put onto all sorts of tacky things, so if you want, you can have a picture of Dan or the other Neil put onto a pink cushion for you to hug forever...

P.s. I do have plenty of video to add to the website, but my computer here in New Zealand can't process it. Hopefully at my friend's house in Sydney I can get it sorted and you can copy our volcano expedition from me too.

Sorry to hear about your sturdy girl. Mine's still safe, but she's a bit upset I didn't use her in New Zealand. I've promised her the blue mountains near Sydney, but she's still giving me the silent treatment...

I felt I had been getting a too much of a slagging for my performance on the Inca Trail. However, now that I have seen the photographs I think it is probably deserved.
I have aged at least 10 years.
I think I look as though I need a holiday!

Hi Neil, Good to hear all about your travels, sounds really exciting in Chile & Peru, and you are also seeing lots of the country side, Thought I would update you with the news of Hahei. They have had 36hrs of torrential rain and the place has been flooded, there are 3 holiday homes about to collapes down the hill and the road has been washed away, we have been lucky to miss this in Auckland, although some area's have had some of the torrential rain, All sports have been cancelled today Saturday 29th April. Our grass has started to grow again and is looking quite green a change from the brown colour it was when you were with us, Jack will be getting the mower out of mothballs soon
TTFN (Ta Ta for now)

Language now Bridget, you can´t come on my message board swearing like that. I´m going to amend your message I´m afraid. Haha...yes well it tasted ok but I think hygiene was an issue and caused the subsequent distress. Hope you´re having a great time in New Zealand! My favourite country so far!

Peru is great, Viva El Peru Glorioso!

P.S. Kia ora! Sweet as sis!

You snake, I just read your journal, how could you say that about my lasagne, i hate you now, infact there s only one thing for it: No one insults my cooking, you will have to come over when back in England and I ll make you a proper one... Still in shock, not sure what to say really, you clearly don t know anything about food, I shall be sending you bad porky vibes for the forseeable future!

hey Sweets, Bridget here, just got to auckland after 28 fun hours sitting at Tahiti airport... Great! Easter island was absolutely out of this world, udescribabley surreal but v expensive... Hope you re doing ok wherever you are... Your photos are well good, i might have to pilfer a few of them... well take care and don t get so drunk that you fall over and loose your shoe(naming no names ehhem sorry about that, i am old and should know better!) Lots of love, B xx

Hola everyone! I have been very busy lately and haven't had time to update my journal. However I am now in Cusco and I'm chilling out tomorrow getting used to the altitude so I'm going to catch up on the journal and upload some more photos.

Thanks Nick, don't worry it was only compliments although sturdy girl got a bit of a slagging! The boxers were not that bad!

Hey Neil, Nick here. Haven't updated my website just yet, but when I do in a couple days you can find some more photos and a bunch of extras on www.freewebtown.com/nickeloi

I guess that if your opinions of me have changed like they do about some of the others on our trip, you're probably saying by now "you know, I couldn't stand him"...!

Still got my boxers in quarantine, currently struggling around Auckland trying to find someone willing to detoxify them!

Hi! Seems you're fine! Are you finished with the studies in spanish now after Santiago? I defently wanna go to South America aswell, seems so nice, maybe study some spanish aswell! That's fun! Here in Sweden is everything still grey, hard to belive when you're travelling, but it really is, so boring. Tomorrow are we going to our sister in another town of Sweden for the easter. Now we're just looking forward for the summer, gonna be so nice!! Take care and keep on keep us updated! Big Hugs from Ebba & Julia

Hi! I haven´t got a Chilean adaptor so until I find one there´s no photos of Chile. Thanks Jack and Margaret for the message I had a great time in New Zealand and that was thanks to you, so thank you! Jim send me your email, I think I´ve got an old one. Monty man can´t believe you´re heading to London!

Hey lad
great NZ pics, always good to read the journal...looking forward to having you back here but enjoy it, what a trip. Change seats, finally, on Monday, so I will have normal hours at last.
Email me with a travels update if u can! Enjoy!
Monty

Good to hear that you arrived in Santiago and raring to go, getting into a Spanish class so quickly seems a good idea as you'll be able to converse more easily with the locals and maybe get that teaching job that you are hoping for.
Many thanks for the lovely flowers you presented me with at the airport this was very thoughtful of you and I was so surprised, they look lovely in the lounge.
We did enjoy your brief visits with us in Akl, and hope that your next visit will be for longer. Enjoy the rest of your adventure.
Asta la vista Margaret.
