Hey - Great blog. Looks like an an amazing trip. Looking forward to hearing about these adventures!

I see dad's replied already - and I've written you an email too - but Thanks So Much again. It all looks absolutely brilliant. Can't quite take it in! Thought those Komodo dragon thingies were only in a book! So glad you are having such an amazing time love jenny/mum

Just found the update! Sounds mixture of terrifying and idyllic. You'll be fish freaks when you come back. lots of love Mum&Dad, Derek&jenny

Thanks so much for the new photos. That Eureka building looks a bit high to me! Not sure I fancy the redback either! Absolutely amazing rocks... And wonderful pictures. Hope you have a great time on the islands, and glad you have stopped working! lots and lots of love mum/jenny xxxx & thanks for phoning

Hope you're remembering all those recipes. Always room round the table here for budding chefs. Can't wait!!!

So glad you made it to Thailand. Sunset piccy is very atmospheric. We look forward to hearing more! Dad/Derek

Piccies truly amazing, one after another. Like one of the other message senders the personal pictures do have that seasonal Nativity play look! Thanks for phone call a la skipe: an intriguing juxtaposition of timeless and 21st century! Looking forward to next update ...
