Hey, Bree, your postcard from Ecuador was absolutely amazing!! I think you should all think about selling the rights to this wonderful web site and having your adventures made into a great (comedy) film!! You could each play yourselves which would
a) keep the cost down
b) mean you could repeat the whole experience again
This all makes our poolside holidays in Spain appear very boring indeed. I am very boring anyway because I sit all day at my computer waiting for emails so I have plenty of time to read all about your travels. Actually, I am VERY worried because every time there is a message from our family people seem to be in OUR HOUSE in Spain having a jolly whilst I am sitting in very wet Manchester working!
Anthony, Robbie is having a great time at Eversheds. You should be reading about the take-over very soon!
I am going to get the children to read all about your adventures when they get home later and I am really looking forward to reading the next instalment and to seeing the photos from Ecuador....did you get one of the thief?! Lots of love from all in Manchester, Gillian, Ivor, Jack, Toby, Naomi and Robbie (because we are going to adopt him) xxxxxxxxxxx

Hi ant! Finally got the chance to look at this website to look at all your wonderful pictures and to hear more about your travels! Wow - some great sights and no wonder you are loving it out there! Was great to get your emails but even better to look on this website - do keep it up! How the hell did you manage to hold that snake ?! It was bad enough you holding a smaller version when we went to sydney - one that i happened to refuse to hold!! ..but to handle that one - yuck!! Really pleased that you are enjoying yourself, this is an adventure that you will always remember - make the most of it! Look after yourself darl and have fun xxx

ps. emyln - The 50,000 pesos was well deserved!!! Sounds like youre having great time. Be safe and enjoy - carpe diem! xx

We have just had a session on the internet reading about your amazing adventure. Mum and Lorraine are with us and we are in Gillian and Ivor's apartment in Marbella. Hope you enjoyed Wimbledon. I could hardly believe seeing Roddick's "winners" being returned as Federer's own winners..... with interest. What a star.!
I was disappointed for L.D..... she has always come over as a real lady.
Back to you and your friends. You certainly get your good looks and tennis prowess from me, but this spirit of adventure is quite alien to your grandma and me.
Following all your news with great interest. Love from all in Manchester and Gloucester................ Gma/Gpa

Hi Anthony, Emlyn and Bree, Unbelievable amount of information this time for us all to read!! Actually i don't fancy ANY jungle at all!! but I know you will all be going for it! Have you met up with Ant yet? or is he still off sorting the carvings?? Your message - the long one Emlyn - was so good! A comment for everyone - I'm sure the comment for me and the other Mums is STOP WORRYING - we're fine! Well you all do seem to be coping so well. Even with any problems that come your way. We're still enjoying sunny Spain and were sorry to miss Emlyn's Mum and Dad. Am writing this in A Gillian's and Grandma, Grandpa and Lorraine are with me - Anthony they all send their love. Keep well and safe all of you and keep the messages and postcards coming - makes such fabulous and comforting reading for me! xxxxxx

Bree, thanks for EMail. Did you get mine? It was great to hear from you. Grandad sends his love and wishes we could be with you. Bring back lots of photos for us to see. Look after yourself. See you soon. All our love. Nana and Grandad SmytheXXX

Oh yes, I've been watchin' Girl Next Door, may I ask you the same question Danielle (Elisha Cuthbert) asked Matthew, the geeky boy in the movie... So, the question is... "What's the craziest thing you've done lately?" ;) [Don't forget, your parents are watching the messages like a bunch of eagles! So be careful! ;) lol!] Xx

Correction: Manjeshwar! Lol, anyways I really hope I didnt make your jaws drop when I actually said that Im being envious Seriously, it takes a while to decide whether to post this or not! (I think Ive made a wrong decision!) Well, who wouldnt be so jealous of you all?! Ill be surprised of any of you are not jealous of them Boys, as for this:- Read it all over again and again?! Get real (!) I dont think taking things a big deal is your thing! Although Im sure that youre flattered, about time I gave you a compliment unlike before! ;) Lol! Breé, yes Im so looking forward to Cyprus & Ibiza (Its about a week to go! Roll on Ibiza!) Ill let you know how I get on in Ibiza (Sorry Emlyn, Im not gonna update you with gossips like you begged me before! Kiddin!) Anthony, I hope that you are safe on your own? Boys, I wonder if you have met any beautiful Brazilians yet? I so hope that none of you boys used your charms otherwise you will scare them away! Lol! Breé, how about you?! Met any gorgeous Brazilians?! Make sure you dont make the boys jealous of you! ;) Hugs, Xx

Hiya travellers! Firstly, embles don't listen to Tobes he's trying to make you jealous with his SMS parties but he knows as well as all of us that nothing beats the anaconda adventures! Tobes stop being lame. Embles in response to your message, I'm glad Im your favourite (and only) sister Im not sure exactly what to say... thanks???! No there is no revenge inside me for the fact that you didn't write to me in about 20 years even though I am living on the brink of starvation and poverty in a war-torn land... ;) I just didn't write back cos Im lazy and busy and that's the truth. yes I'm happy here and no I am not married to an arabian man with 3 other wives so don't worry. (he only has two) ANYWAY... I would recommend the Bolivian jungle in the north (Rurrenabaque) it's a wicked place but to tell you the truth I didnt go to Peru or Ecuador jungles. I heard Ecuador jungle is kind of broing but i heard the peru jungle is nice. The thing is that the jungle in Peru is kind of far from anything, it's in the north also, and Lima is boring you should go straight to Macchu Pichu and do the Inca trail camping for 3 nights and go to Lake Titcaca and also the Nazca Lines on the west coast which people believe are made by aliens! Man now I think of it there's so much stuff to do!! I almost forgot, in Bolivia, there is one wicked thing to do, hire bikes and ride down the "calle de la muerte" Road of Death from La Paz to the north- famous for being the most dangerous road in all of south america and maybe the world!! There are tombs every 5 minutes to mark the spot where trucks and cars... and bikes... have gone over the edge, because the trail is so narrow. SO BE CAREFUL!! Have fun guys.... xxxx

What a vee message from Emma Crowe - especially as its from an Irish!!!! :) Lovely - I actually waited until you complained before writing a message on the message board! And as always the best brother keeps his coolness! I am very sorry to hear that you are burning too much calories getting mad at robbers - now I know why you are very skinny, Embles!!! I've just got my passport renewed (it had 2 years left but it was too full) so I could travel to America for the New York Marathon in November with Oliver (Emma's coming for the shops obviously!!) This weekend we are having a DEAF SMS PARTY in Barbican where we will find a Deaf sms champion :) Enjoy your travels and try not to beat people too much!
