Hey Ant, you'll have heard about the N Ireland - England game by now, absolutely shocking! That's not important, because Ireland lost to France 1-0! *sobs* I hate Arsenal's Thierry Henry! (:P at Emlyn) OH EMLYM! I'm going to watch Tottenham play Arsenal for my 1 yr anniversary on 29th Oct! :D :D I *screams* cannot wait! I am STILL undecided on who to support; I took a year out last year so that I could make a lifelong commitment in deciding which club deserved my support (haha!) Ant, if you havent been in the GAA circles for a while...get back in! It's sooo much better than the Premiership games! The atmosphere is crazy :) :) hehe! have been reading your postcards, can't wait to see what Emlyn will say about the "Hand of God" country (wont you english ever get over that?! lol!) Hope you are continue to stay well n meet up with Aman's clan! xx

AHAH ENGLAND GO NOT TO WORLD CUP 2006 GERMANY BUT BARRAGE :s:s suuux! :)

Sorry - hit something too quickly and message went before I knew it. Any word about Brazil? Mum xx

Hi Anthony Just had to let you know the result of the NI England world cup qualifier although with a bit of luck youll have seen it. England 0 NI 1. First goal from NI against England here in 78 years! Atmosphere in the match was unbelievable. The chanting and singing and shouting from the NI fans never stopped...just got louder. And when NI scored...well the fans went wild. Looks like parties all night. Love Mum xxxxx

Am one of the laziest person who just read the messages. Reading your diary and messages made me got the travelling bug which i am deffo going somewhere to travel and the photos certainly are beautiful, especially the scenery. Take care Kim x

Hello guys!

Finally! So sorry for taking so long time for me to post a message here! Things has been hectic here - working for a investment bank, usually works up to 12 hours 5 times a week plus football trainings, gym, and socialising! But no excuses, I know!

I am really glad to hear that you guys are having the time of your life and yes, I certainly know what you mean that u guys are not looking forward to going home after this adventure! It is such a horrible feeling...All of us always wanted to carry on no matter what!!!!! But that's life, and don't forget there are other opportunities out there for you to travel more - to unchartered terriorities and the unknown!

And also, I must admit, that after seeing so many of my friends packing their bags and escaping here to the jungles of the South America and Far Asia, I am very jealous! But I am biding my time for my turn...for a year around the world!!! Only if I have money... still the same situation - London is bloody expensive!!! Am totally miss Sheffy although I am hoping to return up there for the Freshers Week - if my work allows me to have time off!!

The pictures look fantastic! And so do the stories!

I am wondering if you have managed to take a sample of a bird from each of the country???!

Also, who was at the wheels at the time of your "misfortunate" car accident??? Hope it has not seriously inhibited your travelling plans and...precious time too.

Keep it up with your adventures and make the most of it!

Take care and see you soon!!

Hi all of you. Anthony - amazing postcard giving all of your recent news. You all always manage to delight us with such detail. Must take ages to write up your travels but you will all be able to keep the travel log and fabulous photos and show to your grandchildren one day!! Emlyn - wonderful message too! Can't imagine what a great time you are all having - even with the odd problem - hope everything with the car etc gets sorted out soon. Have been emailing so much with Anthony recently that I forgot to keep the messages coming on the website. Anyway I only have very boring news like work and school - def not what you three want to hear about. Our holidays now seem very far away. Rob and Dad are away for a couple of days to Budapest to do a marathon; apparently it will be quite hot there. Look forward to hearing whether you can extend the stay to get in a visit to Brazil - hope you can do it as it would just be the icing on the cake. Keep well and safe all of you and keep us posted about Brazil. Love Mum xxx

Hey Bree, just got back from leeds (music festival). It was amazin, all the bands played really well. Although it was really exhausting, I even fell asleep at one gig! - too much booze n joints. There was quite a lot goin on other than the gigs too - film tent and fairground n loadsa shops. We went into an Oxfam tent n got some dead cheap n weird coats cos it was freeeeezing, i got a leather jacket for £10 hehe one of my mates got a really long furry trench coat too :P. The last night was really good too - the famous 'riot night', so we all did an all nighter n went round to all the big fires people had made - there were a LOT of explosions! our campsite was quite good - not many security(who were really stupid beating up random people) - they gave up on us! + our campsite went on a big march the night before, so everyone was lookin out for the 'Yellow Bubble' campers :P in the end loads of people who werent doing anything got taken away by security which lead to the cash machines and a cider tent burning down, n some beer lorrys got broken into so we all got free crates of beer! the whole place looked really rough in the morning without peoples tents up + there was smoke everywhere cos everyone burns everythin they dont need/want
ive enrolled for college now, n i start on monday! wish me luck! it should be a fun year but im still dead nervous! - atleast i know a few people, Laura and Erin are on my course (they both used to go Tarporley ages ago) and Stubbsy (who i saw last night very drunk driving a lawnmower into a tree!) will be on it after the first week :)

Hello Embles, Anto and Bree !

Don't stop this journey and take care too for your auto and all ;-) Lucky not hurt !

Good trip the 3 friends !

Hola mi darlings!

it has been quite long since i last posted a msg here! Thank u for those that posted some msgs recently that got the website back alive again! our unbelievable travelling is coming to an end, although we try not to think abt that, but it is difficult not to! for those that misses us so much, and want to know, our return date to UK will be on the 15th of September although we are trying to find a way to postpone our return date for another week or two, so we can complete our ambition of travelling the whole of South America, ending up in Brazil. (Bree and Ant so determined to see the gorgeous sunny beaches of Brazil after the not-so-nice weather of Chile and Argentina we had to endure for the past few weeks!)
As Ant said earlier, and as many might have expected, we had had some misfortune with our car, colliding with a van, and got the car pretty badly damaged on the front, which requires a week of repair. I, not a religious, sometime could imagine it was God's work, to learn us a lesson to be sensible on the road, giving us an accident, but not getting us injured at all!! Details of the accident will be in our next postcard!
Dad, u seem to enjoy being saracastic sometime, dont ya!! I can imagine my friends laughing at Mary Hare's comments that i could get an A for dancing!!!!!!

Mimi, merci bcp pour ton message, c'est super d'entendre tes news de France! je suis impatient de voir la progression t'as fait en Langue des Signes International! :-) je suis aussi curieux de tes plans pour la nouvelle annee, car j'entend que Vienna en Autriche sera la meilleure place pour les sourds cette annee?

Daso, t'es bete de parler sur les nanas de belgique et aussi que tu prefere libre, etc, car tu sais que bcp bcp bcp personnes regarde sur ce site, comme les grand parents de anthony et bree, et autre personnes comme interpretes de belgique etc etc!! :-) ce site n'est pas comme ton site que tes amis mettent des message comme enfants! :-) Gauthier! j'attend ton message, connard! :-)

hope u all enjoyed the pictures and postcard from Anthony from Chile, as we spent hours and hours and days trying to up-load the photos, in the tiny town of Caleta Olivia, where the Internet is dead slow!!! Like Ant said, Chile, woooooooooooooowwwwwww!!! the meeting up with Chillean deafies have been a great bonus in our travels, they were amazing people, who love to party so much, even though they gotta to work the next morning! that suited us three perfectly, but had to get used to the strong piscos at the end! I feel so satisfied of the people we have met and made friends throughout our travels, which we have kept contact with! they definitely have been a great bonus! Also, the skiing in Valle Nevada, it reminded me how much i love skiing, it has been quite long since i last went skiing! Adrenaline pumped up highly when i went on the red and black slopes, going down at a high speed! the view up there were also amazing! i had never really observed the views when i was younger, and took it all for granted, but now, being an old man (with that record long scruffy beard i got now! babes, dont worry, i'll get it shaved up when i get back! :-) ), view of landscapes have become an important part of my travel as they're unbelievable beautiful and so different in each countries!

stopping here now, going for a beer to discuss the gorgeous view we witnessed of the Glaciers today!

For the babies, enjoy getting back at school for a whole fresh new year! dont worry, it'll go past quickly (i hear that often when i was at school, which always sound so depressing!!)
for the oldies, the thought getting back to the everyday routine of work after some weeks off in the summer must be daunting, isnt it... that's the main reason i aint even thinking abt work for at least another 7 years!! :-)

Take care amigos! while u get back to the usual routine, do still keep this website alive please!

Embles xxxxxxxxx

To Mr Burton, well done sherlock holmes! Every time we`ve put our postcards and the phots on the website, we always inform you on the message board, So we hoped that none of you would see it. My 1st postcard was a bit of mess and also Emlyn wasn`t satified with it. It seem obvious that you click on our website every hour of the day! Don`t worry, we are grateful for that! People, I have something to ya all in bad news that we had a car accident in few days ago. We are awaiting for the repairs and also the insurance. But the most importantly, is we weren`t hurt at all. The accident was near Caleta Olivia, south of Argentina. We are now in El Calafate, one of the hot spots in South America. We travelled by a coach from Caleta Olivia, via Rio Gallegos. Have a look at the map if you have time! Hopefully we`ll have the car back by this friday and then off to Buenos Aires. Hope you all are enjoying the Chile update. Antx
