Just on my way out to catch the plane to Ireland for the weekend...feeling very lucky to have chance to see Riverdance in Dublin. John has no idea, as the whole thing is a treat from his brother for his 60th birthday which is next month...
I hope N.Z. is living up to expectations...sure it is...SO envious. As with many people, it is a place I would love to visit...Anyway catch you soon. L.Y.L.mxx

Hey hey, hope you're getting on ok in NZ! Seen any hobbits yet? :) Barrier Reef photos are pretty amazing! Am very jealous as always.
Things are good here, barge holiday was fantabulous, tho' bloody hard work actually! Great weather, believe it or not, we all got quite pink! Definitely considering throwing in the towel with RBS, can survive for about 6 months without a job, and don't have time to look for one whilst I'm still working at the bank.
Have started driving again by the way! I'm not up to F1 level yet, but I'm doin' my best ;) , and I haven't squished anyone yet (touch wood!).
Anywho, later alligator :) xx

hey robin just checking in to see how you were doing. saw the pcture so cool hope you have fun
your friend Tasha

Hey Robin,
Yeh Great barrier reef is amazing. I loved it too. I think Nz will be another amazing adventure!
I am in Indonesia now. Had a great 4 weeks in Java. Worked in the ricefields, stayed with really primitive people and did a lot of other amazing things. It is really a differnt world from ours. But i love it. The people there are so friendly. And while they don't have anything they give you everything they have. Now i stay in Bali. They really live from tourism here. it is more modern and they only want to sell things to you. It is not as good as Java, but nice to relax a bit, with sun, beach and doing nothing. And everything is cheap, that is a good thing for a backpacker.
Well have a good time.
Take care

OH WOW!!!!!!! I'm sitting here with a huge grin on my face having just looked at your photo's taken during your last scuba trip, I am so thrilled for you, it must have been amazing.....you've definatly got the scuba bug now. I'm so glad you decided to take that trip, and now your advanced... only a few more to go and you could be an instructor! How was night diving - That's the most dangerous time to dive as sharks hunt at night and the reef is rife!!!! (DEEP BREATHS AUNT J - BOYS, YOUR MUM'S HAVING PALPATIATIONS!) The only diving we're getting here is diving in and out of rain showers! If I didn't love you so much I'd be very jelous. Can't wait for you to come a bore us for hours on end about your trip "diving in particular" Take care gorgeous. x x x x x x x x

Hey everybody, just got back from an awesome 3-day SCUBA dive trip on the Great Barrier Reef. Absolutely amazing, some photos on the website and more to come. Unbelievably, met my second cousin for the first time ever on the boat (why share the same grandfather on my dad's side!). Vaguely knew I had some more family, but didn't know he was my age, or was in Oz! Amazing.

Justin the jammy wotsit certainly has no exams! I however have another 7 so decided to procrastinate a bit and check out your pics... fantastic! i have to make it till the 26th so lots more fun pics to distract me please!!
Enjoy!
Esther

G'day from Cairns. Finally reached our final destination in Oz, getting ready to fly to NZ on the 20th. Planning to go on a 3-day dive trip soon, and spend some time sorting stuff out, selling the car, etc. Very weird to be getting ready to leave, having been here for 8 months! Put some more photos up, a new Queensland folder, so take a look.

Hey, good photos! Bloody impressive snake!! You're all looking very tanned and healthy - I wouldn't come back if I were you, summer still hasn't kicked in yet. It'll probably happen in the week I'm in Greece! Have sent email with the general Leeds news - speak soon : )

Slowly getting the hang of this, it is my first solo run. Just been viewing your photos - it looks amazing. Jo & Phil envious of your dives, Gabriella is doing her first sea dive in August when they are in Jalon. We have just returned - reluctantly, Richard and family go in 2wks,followed by John & I, then Jo & family for 4wks. Everyone is looking forward to September when we will be able to catch up on news. Take care Robin, love you lots,
