Hi Nick
I'm emailing you from the skies, on my way to Manila. Am flying business class which is amazing. Champagne and huge seats.
Hope you have a great time for the rest of your stay in South America. Seems to be a wonderful place.
All my love mum xxxxx

Delighted to be able to read about your travels. The scenery must be magnificent.Hope you have made some good friends en route so far.Take care and lots of love.
Mum
Hi Darling, Sounds brilliant. That is really somewhere I would love to be but I guess I would need to go into training!!!!
Texted Jodie Yesterday to wish her luck with her exams and had a text back which was good. Hope to see her when it is all finished as she is hoping to take Krystina riding.
Preparations for gala continue with the next challenge being decorating the float.
Does seem funny that you are almost leaving South America. Will any of the friends you have made be going on that way?
Take care, Lots of love always

I can t find that. Is ISO relevant? does nt seem to work right. I think maybe i can t alter it. Congratulations on your victory, keep it up. Hope the seasons going well. Im having a greattime in Cuzco and doing the inca trail tomorow. Will be out of touvh for awhile but i lll try and get some photos up afterwards.
Dad
I don't know your camera at all. However, you should set it in a mode labelled S (for speed) assuming it has one. It'll be right next to an A (for aperture). You then fiddle to set the speed to 15-30 seconds. Despite being injury prone I managed to beat Simon P at singles and England beat Hungary 3-1.
Nick
Yeah they were tiny. Have some funny photos of phl my room mate, dancing with our mum. Hes a tall guy and she was literally half his size. The doors were maybe even smaller than them, had to almost crawl through. they dont have much protein in their diets which maybe contributes. Am having a great time in Cuthco at the moment, its a lovely place though very touristy. Am struggling to take starry phots for you dad. Can t find how to set a really long exposure. Will keep trying when on the trail. Hope your all well, i send my love, nick xxx
Mum
Looks really good fun and fascinating.
Your temporary parents look much smaller than you. How tall are they? Are all the doors that small?
Am glad to hear you are sticking with your real ones (so far!)
Saw nana and grandad on Sunday. They have been following you carefully too.
Am watching England v Hungary. 0-0 at half time but the commentator just said 'England could have scored 3 goals but otherwise mundane'
Krystina is at Anna's for the night and Dad is playing tennis.
Take care,
Lots of love as ever

Loved the photos. Added a view of the Inca trail someone has posted on Google Earth from at least 50 miles altitude. Dad
Nick
Yep still having a good time thanks. Good to hear from you. The salt flats were great and La paz is nice. Probably in the best hotel I´ve been in all trip which is a nice contrast to the Salt Flats. Been giving my sleeping bag a good bit of use. Still not come across any trouble and am enjoying myself loads. Hope your all well at home, keep me updated on the holiday. Love nick xxx
Mum
Hi Darling
Just thought I'd get ahead with a little message for when you get to La Paz.
Have been looking at villas but nothing sorted yet. We will keep trying.
I printed off the photo of you in the mime and took it to work. The other one of you I have there is when you are about 8! Everyone was really impressed.
Hope you are still having a great time.
lots of love
