Nick I've just seen the photos... Andrew, how long is your hair?!?!?!?!?! Haha! You can't cut it til I get home! This I have to see! I had mine shaved off in La Paz. Had a cut-throat shave too, (pointless for me I realise)! Good luck with the flight home guys! We're off to a house party here in BA in a few mins. Hopefully speak to you soon, Nick x

BIG SIS WELL DONE PEOPLE! 6 months- done. The blog, photos and Colin were ace and I'm sure this is just the start of your travelling exploits. Lookin forward to seeing you and maybe next time you can take me with you? See you soon (wierd sayin that!) K.xx

Aunty Rose Our Soph and Andy,Thanks for all the journal entries and photos. Just read Rio (the 3 days) and will now peruse photos. Good job you weren't in Pisco yesterday, eh! Thank God you are both still alive after all the hair-raising adventures you've been thru'. You both look so well. I must visit the swimming pool this (long - Independence Day) weekend, although the Dove does come in pretty handy. Must match those tans! Only 2.5 weeks to go till we land in sunny????? Manchester once more. Enjoy your welcome home parties/dinners etc. I'm sure everyone will be glad to have you back safe and sound. Lots of Love, Rose & Rob xx xx

Nick Hola guys, I'm very impressed you've kept up with this blog!!! The hang gliding looks cool! How does it feel to have only a coulpe of days left?! Hope you're having fun, Nick

Anna Quite simply... wow! Those pics are incredible... Sure you wanna come home? It's raining here, doncha know? Anyway, I've emailed you the goss. See you soon!!!!

Dad G I'm absolutely gobsmacked at your latest pics and incredibly jealous. I sure wish I could fly over Rio in a hang glider. Who took the fabulous photos? It beats a week in a wet tent in Scotland fighting off the midges and wading through Shrek's swamp! You'll be glad to know that I have saved a few jobs for you when you get home, just so you won't feel left out! Looking forward to Saturday. Love Dad G xxxx

Mum G Well you nearly made it, arriving home before your postcard!!! - its just arrived this morning its only taken 5 weeks, its a good thing I didnt have to post your cards to you!!!! Cant wait to see you on Saturday. Just to change the subject, I'm sat at PC and Topsy is under the desk licking my legs!!! Nice!!!! Take care see you sat tons of love xxxxxxxxx

Soph and Andy CHECK OUT THE VIDEOS!!!!! Yes, we have finally managed to get them on!!! Enjoy! x x x x x x x x x x x

Aunty Rose Hiya Soph and Andy, Finally opened your photos from Argentina (2nd time round) and the next 3 places. I remembered some of the sights around Iguacu and Buenos Aires. Hope you both had a great time. Only one week to go. I wonder how you're feeling - eager to return to friends and family, (and chocolate eggs and cake!) or sad to be leaving? I noticed that it was 28 in Rio yesterday. Are you anywhere near there this week? If so I reckon it'll be time to boost that tan!. I'm into the Dove self-tanning lotion that your mum receommended. It's ace! Sorry I haven't been in touch - been busy at school. Do you remember the concept WORK? It's less fun than where you're at. Can't wait for 5th Sept when we'll be winging our way back to M/cr. Really looking forward to seeing you both and catching up on SOME of your stories. Where do you begin???? Lots of Love, Yous Take Care, even tho' it is the last week. And remember - trust no one! Aunty Rose xx xx

big sis and mum hiya, nice to hear from you. we've been to rookery hall today and sorted the final bits for the wedding. Im on the slim fast plan, but its not workin fast enough for my liking, and am investigating false tanning products as we speak to match up to your bronzed bodies. Enjoy the last 7 days! K & M. x

MUM W Photo's amazing!! You must be in Rio by now. Not heard anything from you for 8 days!!!! Rio must be really great! Please make contact soon! Take care, Love to you both. Mum W xx

KATE All sounds amazin! The house move is off for now- everything went wrong this week- so no BBQ on your return I'm afraid! All go for the wedding still- tiring me out, oh and not sure if i told you but came second at Grazia awards. Enjoy your last 2 weeks! Bet you are gone again before Chritmas I've got 20 quid on it! Take Care, K.xxx

MUM W Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy! Reality beckons - but not yet, eh! Keep happy, safe and healthy. Much love Mum W xx
