Hey Nikki,

It's about time I wrote to you I know! Just read your postcard and checked out your photos and it looks like you're having an amazing time. Pleased to see being the other side of the country hasn't turned you T total either (as if?!)! I can see that your new lifestyle, sleeping in mud huts and carrying buckets of stones up hills, (didn't that used to be a form of punishment for convicts?) is no picnic but if anyone can handle it I'm sure you can. Do all the children ask you if you know the queen? I used to get that a lot in Belize and I found it saved confusion by just lying and telling them 'yes!'

As for me, well, I've been mainly working in the bar and been being generally drunk and disorderly on my nights off. I feel kind of ashamed of the fact that whilst you're digging trenches me, Emma, Ali and Colin have spent all of today recovering from hangovers. There are two reasons for this: No 1: We played circle of death last night, I lost and had to drink a shot of vile rum wearing a pair of knickers on my head and Ali's sweaty socks on my hands - not sure which was worse the rum or the socks. No 2: We then went to the Philly and Ali nearly got beat up in the queue by two girls on two seperate occasions - to be fair he did kind of start on them first. So, just another normal night in Cardiff really.

Still, to redeem myself slightly, I joined a gym this week and will be starting me new job at the Assembly on Tuesday so I fully intend to become a new slimmer, career minded me and an upstanding pillar of the community...ok, perhaps not, but it's a step in the right direction at least!

Right well, I think that's all from me now but I will write again soon to keep you updated on all the goings on here and I can't wait to read your next update. Take care, we miss you loads,

love Katie x

Hey Lady, well it was really interesting reading your postcard and seeing all the photos too, it sounds like you are having an amazing time out there, although alot of hard work to be done, but well worth it. After I posted my last message I realised you didn't manage to pick up the books, but I will save them for you so you can read them when you get back. Everything is going well here, still house hunting and stuff, but all good fun. Make sure you write some more postcards and upload some pictures soon as it is really good to read.
Anyway best be off, have loads of work to do by the end of tomoz, as monday is a bank holiday here - yippee :-) Speak soon, take care, all my love Faye xxx

Hi Nikki, nice to hear from you, just looked at your photos looked really interesting!! Let us know where you are off to next and we might be able to help. We ended up booking all our travel and accomodation at the TAT office in Bangkok which is quite helpful, cant remember what you said you are doing?! Anyway, take care look forward to hearing from you soon xxx

Hey Bird, Like all the pixes the guys look pretty good too!!! I hear your dad is doing up plans for the house so when you return you will have a job mixing cement or mud as it looks like you will be an expert. BE SAFE & enjoy remember bed is available in BERMUDA when you get to this side of the world. xxxx neannie

Hi Nikki,
It was great reading your message & looking at your photo's - what an experience. We've saved this web page on our 'favourites' & we will be following your adventures on-line....
Have fun, be safe and GOOD LUCK!!
Love Matt & Jo. XXX

Hey Marshall! How's it all going? Good to see your red dot has finally started making it's way East at last.. I'm back from holiday now and soaking up the sunshine in Cardiff! You'll be pleased to hear Em and I have been forced (due to laziness and a lack of money) to turn vegetarian as we just can't afford meat anymore, times are very hard indeed and due to a series of mishaps I've recently had to replace my camera, my glasses, my trainers, some clothes and my suit! So I'm Broke McPoorson at the moment! Anyway, hope you're having a great time, was interesting to read about this Cyber Angel programme - after a year watching Charmed I thought you rather liked bizarre, incomprehensible programmes with shockingly bad acting?!? Teeheehee! Ok, I've been back a day and haven't attacked Jockey yet so I'm gonna go roast her. Take care, speak soon, xxxxx

Hey Nic...love the photos especially the 5* accommodation...Great talking to you last week..enjoy Burma this weekend and no doubt you will have many more stories to write next time. Don't believe what Sheila wrote...you know I rarely have drink!!!.... Keep well and safe. We miss you..lots of love Mum and Dad xxx

Hi Nikki, Mum gave me your e mail address. I hope you are really enjoying you trip so far. Sounds a little like Africa and the heat probaly is sometimes overpowering!!!.

I will be following your trip, so take care, look after yourself and we will look after mum with a few glasses of wine, not many though!!!!. We are going there on Sunday.

Love

Sheila

Good to hear everything is going well and that you are actually doing some manuel labour instead of dossing, like you have been doing the whole summer :) Have got the new inca booklet and am working through the book, think should go into the jungle for a few days and also white water rafting as it sounds good.
Anyway take care
