Sophie Happy 30th Bhu!! Not sure where in the world you will be, but I hope where ever it is you have a memorable day. If you can email me your uk bank details I will transfer some money so you can put it towards something on the last of your travels. Also I still have your dress here, should I just send it to your home address? Lots of love Sophiexx

Elaine Hi guys Well, I think we can finally say that Elizabeth is now a walker!! She's been taking a few steps randomly for a while (with a push), but now definitely prefers walking to crawling! She still looks like Miss Wobbly and falls over lots, but is very proud of herself. Exx

Elaine Hi guys .... missing your updates .... come on!! We need more photos and funny stories. (please) Ex

Claire I think Fred must be missing you - we had to watch your wedding video yesterday morning! x

Jo http://www.getjealous.com/gaztrish hey guys, have a look at Trish & Gary's travel blog, they have already done South America so might give you some tips. so glad you're both having such a fab time, can't wait to see you when you get back, lots of love XXxx

Elaine I typed Bariloche into Wikipedia to see where it is and it shows a 'typical log cabin' I'm guessing very similar to what you guys are staying in. Very cute!

Christian Im sure all that Meat will make up for it!!! Nightmare journey though! keep having fun!

Elaine Aww guys - that bus trip sounds horrid! I hope the food in Argentina makes up for the journey you had. Your photos from Macha Pichu and the Inca Trail are fantastic. love Exx

Kirst Ah Claire and Jamie so many Congrats!!! thats amazing! i bet she is beautiful! Dan and Shu i miss you both! Your travels still sound amazing but reading about them is making me want to jump ship even more than usual!! so glad you are still having a great time. much love x kirst xx

Elaine Maibaum Having been up since 5 am for several mornings in a row, and woken several times a night by Elizabeth who has yet another ear and chest infection .... I'm currently being plastered with dinosaur stickers and dreaming of sunshine and beaches. Fancy swapping?

Sam Finally, some words about South America I can read!!! And drool over. Am so jealous of your peruvian adventure on the Inca Trail, and between that and looking at our volcano pics from Costa Rica, we have decided that we need to go exploring again really soon. Need to do that whole marriage thing first though!!! Hope you are enjoying yourself still - you have got aaaaaages to go!!! Sxxxx :)

Big Sis Still no baby!

The Spanier Hey dudes, Realised that I have been neglecting your blog, probably because it makes me really depressed about the lack of holiday fun for The Spanier this year! Little Kate and I are missing our Shu-la-la so much that we have taken to getting together for almost fortnightly pizza and then weekend crochet sessions - you need to come home soon and sort us out! Loving the NZ pics, particularly amused by your 'spaceship' called 'Rimmer'. I had to giggle inappropriately in the office! Stay cool you pair of crazies, Buckets of love, Kxxx

Jan I was getting worried that there hadn't been a blog for a while, but when I was reading the Peru one I just spotted the Chile one at the bottom of the list- it is dated 2007 so I guess that is why.

ruth I need updates.... how's South America? Assuming amazing! Miss you guys xxx
