Fantastic photo's of the falls, but you need to get rid of the hairband Rebecca. I wish I had done the falls with you,isn't the noise from the water amazingly loud,it's the one thing I remember from Niagra Falls was the deafning sound.Need a blog to go with it,who's turn is it to write one.Chat soon.Love you.xxxxxxxxx

Hey, time to update your blog!!!!!!! Lots of people asking where you are and I can't tell them, a few worried that you might be in Chile. Hope all is going well and Hannah enjoyed her birthday. Hope to chat soon. Love you. xxxxxxx

Happy Birthday Hannah, Hope you have had a fab day. Lots of Love Shirley and Kelly xx

Oh No, Hannah, that does not count, and how would you answer my quizzing questions when you return. Culture, culture, culture, beach, beach, beach, CULTURE wins every time, these are places you will remember for ever, you just can't miss them out, you will thank me one day. Lecture over. Sorry to hear Rebecca has a pain her neck, don't let her moan too much. Need more photo to bring us up to date. Glad you enjoyed blowing up SLM, sadly it has done nothing for us who have to still put up with them here. Bye for now. xx

Hello mummy Courtney, i missed your helpful cultural tips while you have been away! If i got Becki to take a picture and i photo shopped myself in, does that count? We have seen the small church on the south island and even went in to have a listen to the worship (two of my sisters got baptised the other day.) Hopefully we will make it to one of the nice beaches but Becki has pulled a muscle in her neck so i am playing nurse for once! xxxxxxx

Ok, so lets see what you know about this lovely little island you have landed on, there's a big white church on the North of the Island and a tiny white chapel on the South of the Island, both look worth a visit, then there is the aquamarine pool, that looks nice, but I am guessing what you would really like me to find is a really nice beach for you to lie on. It would be nice to have some idea where you are on the Island. It was nice talking today, I was just about to get in touch with Jilly to see if she had heard from you. And Hannah, you have to go up the mountain, and see the statue of Christ, it's a must, just like Machu Pichu, and I am told the views from the top are amazing, I will look forward to the photo's Hannah!! chat soon. XXXXXX

Hi, Saturday night and I have just had a small bottle of red wine. Sim is ok and has recovered from his holiday. the claw is still working well. We are now planning our next trip but it may only be to London. Speak soon. x

Hi, How is everybody, have you recovered from the festivities, I suppose no news is good news. Love you xxxxxxxxx

Hi, we are home!!!!! we had a good time, the weather was fab, nice to feel warm sunshine. Just caught up on photos and latest emails, loads of rubbish and spams, 84 msgs and it's only been a week. Good to see you are still having fun, shame about the long journeys but they are unfortunately a necessity, at least when you get to N.Z. the transport should be more superior. Simba had a lovely holiday, behaved himself impecably,naturally of course,he enjoyed his daily grooming and is looking forward to the next time,but only if we can afford it. I have sent you en email which you need to process as soon as possible. Take care, love you xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
