Dad V Pleased to here you've made it safely to Miami for your weeks well earned rest !!!! Will Cusco be the same without the 3 of you? I'm sure you've given the locals something to remember the 3 medics from Southampton. Enjoy the week in the sunshine state, take care and see you soon. Love Dad V xxx

Hannah Hey zo! Sounds like you've all had a pretty eventful trip! Peru sounds amazing, think south america is next on my list of travels! Kenya was awesome and has definately been a summer to remember... Can't wait to catch up and swap stories, take care hun and enjoy your last week in miami! love u lots, han xxxxx

mum v looks and sounds as though you are all having a great time. what happened to the work part of this trip! carry on enjoying yourselves and take care of each other. xxx

hayley hey girls!!!!!! sounds (and looks!) like ur having the most amazing time, and with all that trekking you'll be fit as anything when u return! despite the rain i hope ur also getting plenty of sun (i feel robbed if a holiday doesn't result in a tan. but then my priorities are probably somewhat different to yours, being that i am in fact unashamedly shallow). ur a lot braver than us managing the paragliding (sounds amazing) and guinea pig consumption (head and eyes still attached! i'd have been sick on it. our respect goes out to your strong stomachs). all good back home, i'm off to morocco in a few days and bec has an amazing new job as head of admin in a school counselling organisation. it's just been set up in one school and they hope to have one in every school in coventry in no time, so watch this space! plus apparantely a fit man teaches there. can't wait for our 24 marathon, speak soon, lots of love hayley and becca x x x x

Donna and Danny (and Alex) hi katy, photos look great! im am now a married woman! wish you could have been there your mum was classic at the chocolate fountain, i have lots of photos!! glad you are all ok and enjoying the local life. take care lots of love x x

Gemma Hey Becs!! Sounds like your having an amazing time still, that paragliding seems outrageous, dunno if id have the bottle to do, but im sure its well worth it in the end. Nath text james saying you had dewormed your first orphan or something, i can never tell with those two if they are messing about or not! O yea and excuse James' "funny" message on here! I was going to write you a long message but i think il email you instead, im sure no one wants to read whats been happening in the life of Gemma for the past few weeks! Anyhoo, take care and keep enjoying yourself, dont drink too much of that run stuff tho :D Loads of love Gem xxx

Mum to Rebecca I have loved you, cared for you and nurtured you for 22 years and then you go and throw yourself off the top of a mountain !!! NOT IMPRESSED !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ric Hey Zo! Sounds like you're all having a wikid time and not working too hard which is good! Glad to hear your still getting in trouble on a regular basis...Clearly those Peruvians didn't know what they were getting themselves into when they stamped your passport on entry! Keep eating the Guinea Pigs...After one pissed on my leg during a year 1 "fun day" they deserve everything they get!! Ric xxx

Dad V The photos are a long time at the developers! How was the guinea pig? Did you have to select the one you wanted? Are you all doing something different at the hosipital? Talk soon, Take care. Dad xx

Kev Hi Bec, Ignore Blondie, you know there's only one man for you (and his name don't start with an N)!!!! (sorry nath) Don't worry about Nath, i'll be lookin after him, especially as he's working near me soon (long lunch in the pub anybody??). sorry about your leaving drinks night - you know what you girls are like!! Anyway, all lookin forward to a group night out when you get back. you've got lots of drinkin to catch up on!!!! See ya soon Kev xx

Claire i am soooooooooo jealous! espeially about the looming guinea pig experience that is a must if ever i saw one. however, i must admitt, im having bunddles of fun attempting to revise so i really wouldnt wish your time away as i know how much you want to get back. my advise is just to hang in there and think that its not for ever you just have to get through it one day at a time. plus it seems that Blondie isnt doing too well without you but dont blame youself they're his issues and im sure he'll get through them in time. much love my lovely peruvian adventurer xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Nathan Becky, What was blondie chatting about???????!!!!!!!!!!??????????

Dad V Hola, este es el senor Valentine, soy ingles, estoy casado.hablo muy poco espanol. As they say straight from the phrase book! We're glad you enjoyed the travelling to see the Nazca lines, the photo's look brilliant (ha ha). Did anyone suffer from altitude sickness on your return as you'd been to sea level again? Give us a bell if you're anywhere near the web cams in cuzco, you'll have to wave slowly as the picture only updates every 30 seconds! The trip to the rain forest in Bolivia sounds great, just don't bring back anything you cant declare to customs! I hope the sleeping accomadation is snake and bug proof! Que se divierta, buen viaje, hablar pronto, el amor Dad. xx

Ben If you ever thought 14 hours on a plane was bad, trust me 14 hours on a bus... worse! (Will be worth it for the memories though)!
