Arnaud Hi Anaick Having a great time in New Zealand i see - pics are amazing.  Just a quick note that if you are heading back to Auckland again, i have an associate that i work with called Peter Milsom who will be happy to arrange to take you out for a coffee - he is a great guy who took a great liking to eating as much Kudu as he could lay his hands on when he was out here in SA!! His contact details are home 0964 9 524 064 or mobile 021 937 286. Take care and see you at the end of the month. Naud

Ben Anaick! My god, how long has it been since I saw you last? Must be as long ago as January ? seems years away doesn?t it!? Thank you for send me a text from all the way out there it was so good to hear from you! I?ve trawled through nearly all of your photographs and it looks like your having an amazing time out there ? and I?m so proud of you just doing it all by yourself, you?re doing so well! I bet the weather has been amazing, the culture has been anything but inspiring and can bet the food is good too (although I bet it isn?t quite as good as mine! If that were ever possible!?) I can?t remember when you said you?d be back but I?m guessing its quite a while away still ? we will defiantly have to catch up when you get back. As for me?well I?m not up to much (well that?s an understatement) I?m still at university as always working hard but I?m now working at a landscape architects to earn myself some cash and that ever important experience and reference I?m going to need in years to come! I keep thinking you?re still at Hays every time I walk past ? and always just think I?ll pop in and see you! Speaking of which, are you working out there? Or is it all just the poetic brilliance of backpacking and breathing in all that culture!? Well, I hope you are well and not missing home too much ? I?m sure you must get a little homesick now and then. But I shall await the return of you and your stories when you get back. Love, as always  Ben

ARNAUD Hi Brat Its been a while but the grandparents have been keeping me up to speed with your travellings - although its just not fun attempting to download all your photos at 56k dial up internet speeds!!!!! It looks like you are having a great fun time - enjoy it.  I understand that you are heading to SA next - we can't wait for you to help us with all the housework that we have not yet got around to since our move!!  Maybe that will make you think twice about cutting your trip short to come here early - take your time and enjoy every moment of your travels. Let me know your dates when you are eventually heading our way so i can plan some leave whilst you are here. Take care and lots of love Arnaud 

Jay and Kelly Hey Naiky!!  Firstly you are crap!! i cant believe you never emailed me your blog site!!Luckily i bumped into Dawn and Mike in Surfers Paradise and they gave me your blog address!!  How are you doing? i think we were in Sydney during the same time period... and both staying on Pitt street,,, shame we didnt have a catch up!! where are you now? check out our site: www.getjealous.com/jaykelly speak soon, Jay & Kelly xxx

Julie Hi AnaickI've just been looking through your travel journal and it looks like you're having an amazing time- I'm so pleased for you. Your photos are fantastic. Everyone's missing you...keep having fun.x x x x x 

Mom Noush Lyn and Wayne have sent us some beautiful photo's and there is one where you look gorgeous,  so healthy and happy.  I am glad you've been spoilt a bit and a big thank you to them for taking time out to have you with them. We had a lovely weekend with Karin and James although Sunday was bitterly cold and this week has been very cold with snow and rain and temperatures down to 5 degrees.  Karin reminds me of you so much and she is such a lovely girl but then again I will be bias as she is my godchild.  Hopefully she will be coming over again before she leaves for SA in May time.  As I told you we are all booked for SA in July and now can't wait for our holidays and to see the family again. Still not smoking, 6 weeks now but the weight is coming on, got the skipping rope out today, music blarring out of the kitchen window and fatty skipping to the beat. Ati found it so fascinating that he came out to join me, like a bicycle, you never forget but it takes a few tries to get back into it. I had wanted to go for a cycle ride and a picnic but did forget that I had a hair app. so the boys went instead and I was being pampered by Brian.  Tomorrow Sebastian has been invited, as part of his theatre group, to join in and make a human slave ship by the castle museum, head to toe lying down. To celebrate 200 yrs of the freedom of slavery. We will go and see the plays as well in Parliament street. Friday Seb will break up for the easter holidays, 2 weeks and then it will not be long before he writes his SATS exams end of May.  By the way I hope you have not eaten your easter eggs already!!!! bet you have. I'm sure we will speak tomorrow, love you darling and miss you very much. Mom,Ati and Sebxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Alain + Jeanine Dear Annaïck, we love watching your site and following you in your trip. You seem to have a wonderful, warm and sunny weather everywhere you go. Your pictures are absolutely fantastic. Especially, we love the one where you cuddle the koala, it is probably the best picture of you we have : I printed it and we'll frame it. Jeanine would love to have a koala for our garden... By the way, it is nice to get news from your dad and from Jean-Pierre thanks to your msg board. We will spend Easter in Prag and then Jeanine will leave for Mauritius on April 13 : she is going to be construction supervisor as we have works in our house.Lots of kissesJeanine + Alain

Mom Hi NoushLove speaking to you and hearing your news, I am jealous and wish I could be there with you. I am so glad you will be going to Melbourne and visiting Rodney, He is lovely Anaick, I always told him to wait for you, as he was too young for me,  so when he gets over the shock of seeing you all grown up you can tell him Mom does not want you to marry a Meaker.  No Nephews or brothers. Only joking. When you get there you must text me their phone no and I will call, to speak to them and you obviously to thank them for their kindness towards you.  You will have fun. We always did when we went over to their house in Westville.  Missing you you very much. Love and Take CareMom
