In reference to your Chianti Classico, you really need to have those piles surgically removed. Good Chattin tonight champo, looking forward to Xmas. Got the Crownies chilling. Thanks again for your concerns and advice.

Hi Guys!! How's life in the saddle? Sounds like you're having the time of your lives--I'm GREEEEN with envy! Sorry I didn't get to join you along the way but arm not up to doing too much biking. (Back into hosp in 10days to get the metal work out--what joy!!) Where are you now and where are you off to next? Glad you got to mallorca to experience Sa Colabra- what a road eh! Just been told I need to get off this PC- in Library so will have to cut this short! Anyway good to see your photos and postcards. Hope trip continues to fill all your expectations

Lots of love Pat xxxxxxx

At last, managed to access your web page and it's great, will make sure we keep up to date!! We just missed you in Monaco though that seems like weeks ago now we are back at work. Hope your both enjoying your trip, it certainly looks like it. Mum, dad and Scott send thier love. Love from Craig & Grace xx.

Have been following your travels. Delighted to hear you have been having a great time and the derrieres are holding up. Richard's working in Houston but was in South of France for 4 days and just missed you. Craig and Grace were in Nice and also missed you. Richard moves to Cabinda, Angola in February when his new rig is completed. James is at college in Perth doing sound engineering. David is taking a gap year and leaves for Sidney on 21st Sept working his way up the coast.
We are both fine in spite of the weather. Pitlochry was cut off by landslides at Dunkeld and it took 6 hours to get home from Perth.
Hope you are both well,
love, Mark & Elinor.

Hi guys, sorry we couldn't make Italy for the bank holiday weekend, hope you had a great time!
Where are you now? Please send stories......
Hope the bums, legs, and bikes are surviving this fantastic journey! You're not missing out on anything in London - the summer has been crap!
Look forward to seeing you guys soon,
Lots of love
Shells & Alxxxx

Hi Bianca and Jason. Just wanted to say hi and that I'm thinking about you often during your travels especially during the huge rain downpours we have had this summer. Hope it is drier where you guys have been. Rita is here today and says hello as well. Erin and Brady are great. Growing up so fast. My two year old boy is talking non stop about dinasours, trucks and animals. Erin, fairy princess, spends all her time in dresses and most of her time pretending to be a hourse names Sparkle Fairy. Peter and I went to the US for a few weeks this summer, Tuscany for a week and a couple days at the Olympics. All awesome holidays. We both envy your long travels. Enjoy and hope all is well. Also Bianca, please be on call. It is almost Erin's b-day and time for me to make a "cake" again!!!!!!

Love, Amy

Ciao bella!
What a great time i had with you both in Italy! Just wanted to say thanks for the laughs and hope that you both managed to find your way to La Spezia after such a long time off the bikes. Pisa was pretty cool....I managed to go up the tower and get myself into yet another gelato - oh how much I am missing those now!
London is about 12degrees cooler, so the summer skirts have been packed away :(
Can't wait to get the photos developed...I will make sure I email you some copies! Synchronised swimming, dancing with pirates and eating a couple of big pigs - now that was a holiday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mele Gracie,

Great to hear from you the other day. Sounds like you guys are having a great time. Your stories have inspired us to buying bicycles (is that how you spell it?). However, I am not convinced we will get any further than the Regatta (distance from our house aprox. 100mil...meters I mean). Look forward to sharing a beer and a story when we meet again in Brisbane. J&K

Thanks for the birthday call it was very plesent surprise to hear from you.
It made my weekend all the best and can't wait for your return.

Hey Big Guy & B,
I hope your travels are free of flat tyres, your butts are still juicy enough to absorb the bumps in the road, & your drinking elbow still bends nicely.
Thank you for the Birthday phone call on Sunday morning, sorry about my Sister not having Scoot's phone number (silly girl).... Thankyou both for thinking of us...we had a few (too many) drinks for you guys at the Merthyr Barefoot Bowls Session on Sunday....probably too many Finney!!!!
I've got my shiney blue Malvern Star 5 Speed parked at the front gate ready for you guys to pick me up........ "where are ya", "your late"!
Well my friends, farewell till the next e-mail... take care, miss you heaps, Kaz xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

BB & Jason, we miss you loads! Hopefully BB is practising her songs so she won't forget us. Your trip sounds amazing so far, the website is fantastic, makes us feel like we are riding along with you in 3 baby seats (hmmm, maybe a glimpse of the Finns in the future?!?!) We have found some beautiful Colorado mountains for you to cycle when you come to see us. Love & kisses!

Guess what - you have been chosen to represent aussie at greek olympics - "cycling aust" needs you ... just make sure no drugs...so peddle fast your due at the starting line on saturday....GO AUSSIE GO..
