Hi Lisa &Chris

We are glad you have landed safely in Austrailia, with your luggage intact!

I was starting to like Chris until he mentioned the cup final! Less said the better. Are you going to The Great barrier Reef? The weather is going to be mixed for the Bank holiday weekend, Joe is off camping with the scouts for the weekend celebrating its centenary.  If you are into wine Australia is the place to be, im hooked on there wine (only reds) so if you can fit a few 100 bottles into your pack, much appreciated. Any way im sure you will enjoy this leg of your trip.

Kind regards to both. take care

Anne Ian & the boys.

Hi, good to hear you are both well and enjoying Australia-don't get any ideas about emigrating until you've been back and tidied your room !!! LOL I have to say, I thought you would enjoy it.

Things all ok here, Han is stressing about her exams, but I'm sure she'll be fine-maybe a couple to resit in the summer.

The kids are off to Scotland on Thursday, I'm staying up there with a friend overnight, and hope to meet up with some of my old colleagues for a wee dram or three!!

Anyway, enough for now, take care and enjoy.

Love to you both, Mum xxxxx

Great to hear from you before you leave for Austrailia. Sounds like you are having a fantastic time.It's great that Jeff could show you all the sites and it sounds like you have seen so much more than you would have done without him. I bet you both enjoyed his mums cooking and its lovely that you could spend time with jeff and his family and to catch up on old times.

Glad to read that your American friend still has his finger.

Well wishing you both a good flight looking forward to seeing the next lot of photos and your next update from Austrailia.

hello all

thanks for your messages. we're leaving nanjing in a few hours and, despite the 15 hour train journey ahead of us, feel relieved because of what happened.

Hi Chris & Lisa

     We are glad you let us know of your experience in Nanjing and that you are both O.K. We hope that your American friends will  recover from their injuries.

We hope you will have a more peaceful time in China before you move off to Australia.

Look after each other and take care

Dad sends his love as we do also. Love from Nan & Grandadxxx

Hi,

Hope you have both recovered from your ordeal, but you both have to not let it spoil the rest of your trip-there's good and bad everywhere and you just need to be a bit wary.

Chris, you must have had more bruises on this trip than you've had since you were little!

Keep in touch, and look after each other.

Lots of love, Mum xxxx
