Me2 Unlike some, I am looking forward to seeing you or more a case of: 1.you re-appearing, 2.more like being in the eye of a tornado called Annabel doing the "Veni Vidi Vinci" bit, and 3.disappearing within days to Uni. What a life... Could I bring to the airport some "proper" food, or it will be more the case of a comfy pillow? Loving you X O

My_hero Gulp!

Me2 I'm still doin'...AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! Please NO MORE jumpin' off cliffs/ bridges/such. Love you so much!

Me2 Carissima, I've sent you a (too!) long email about the driving licence. Hope you got the money & all is "perfetto!". Forget UK & Uni and enjoy it while you can! Love you lots!

Gileslike Have just caught up with the latest batch of shennanagins thus am feeling all puffed out! It`s exhausting just reading about this stuff. When you get back I will regail you with tales of rcalcitrant strimmers. Exploding lawnmowers & getting mugged by squirrels! Pictures are brill. Be nice to see the originals. Luv&Stuff Giles.

Me2 Great to hear from you again & super pictures. Thanks and the best of luck. Love you much!

Baggins Hiya. Thanks for the pan pipes - they're awsome. Sadly Dad can get a sound out of them, but I clearly am not designed for pan pipe playing - just get a muffled sort of noise! Pics are great - love the one of you peeping out of hobbit holes! See you sometime in November. Off to South Africa tommorrow - yey! Can't wait. Speak soon. Love Sarah :)

Llama Hey Annabel, Me, Chia, Nads, Anna + maybe Hannah are going out for a meal tonight, since I'm off to Ecuador on Monday, CHia's off to Aus on Sat etc. U'll laugh as Anna wandered whether u were coming... she keeps momentarily forgettin where u are!! Hopefully tomorrow I'll be able to bebo some pix from my party, but waiting for post to deliver my photos. Oh- and my travel journal for Ecuador can be found at www.traveljournals.net/helanus. Pass that on to ur fellow travellers if u wud. Hope u're havin a whale of a time + see u wen I get bak I guess (hopefully with some sort of a tan...) Luv Helen

Me2 Principessa, Is your cold gone/better now? With no entries in your journal and not many calls/emails either, I tend to worry, ...a little,...lots,...maybe unnecessarily... but being me...! As some food for thought, Saint-Exupéry said (loosely translated...): Of course one goes away in search of wide horizons, but a horizon although it can be seen, cannot be found it has to be rooted and substantiated inside oneself! Escaping never leads anywhere. Meanwhile Buddha added: Not by any travelling is the worlds end reached"! I liked it and thought you might like it too. Love you, mia cara & keep well, See you on the 12th and hoping to have some news from you before that. A presto, love X 0

Me2 Ciao, I've sent you a long-ish email. Hope you get it and feel better! Love you

My_hero Uni sorted.

Llama Yo dude! Tis the llama! Hope u're enjoyin Wellington- the photos were very cool esp the one of Jen as a hobbit!! Went to Glastonbury yesterday as believe it or not I'd never climbed the Tor before even tho it's 40 min drive away!! It was really lovely but nippy + then we saw the Abbey + town (lots of weird Druid shops...) Luvya, Helen

Fellow Marauder HEY BELLA!!! Tis your other mate here! Wow, you sound like you are having an amazing time in NZ. most impressed that toilet flushes the other way! Oh P.S Sprout says hi, though I am sure you might know that already! Oh and I hope that you had a great birthday in NZ. So Wellington??? Tell all when you can! Nothing much is happening here except everyone is b*****ing off leaving Nads and I here alone, all by ourselves, god forbid! Anyway, missing you lots! Weather has gotten quite nippy overhere and we are not pleased about that at all! Sooo....... anyway, am missing fellow marauder though do tell the unfortunate souls travelling with you ;) that I miss them too! Lots of Love, Darx
