Nele & Bart Hi girlies, the mute party was very interesting but I wouldn't say it's that nice to shut up. We went to another party in King's Cross last night and that was great.

Michelle Farrell Hi girlies If you aren't planning on going to sydney and you get a chance to you so must go, its the best. I highly recommend a tour of the blue mountains, you have never seen anything like it. Tim fell in love with the place and reckons when we win the lottery we are going to move there (OK!!!), but it is very beautiful. Where are you off to next? Your photos look fabulous. No more travelling for me now Im a mummy! (Kira is one on the 23rd Oct, oh my god!!) so make the most of it! How was Thailand? Sounds like you had a ball from your journal and your photos. Always wanted to go there but haven't got round to it yet. Where would you receommend? How is the back packing accommodation? I have always been a bit sceptical but if it's good enough for you guys then I'm willing to give it a go. Hope you carry on having the time of your lives and make sure you stay safe and don't lose your passports! Love ya lots and can't wait to see you when you get back. Take care Tim, Michelle and Kira-Rose xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hey Rach!! You're in Cameron highlands!! I went there and loved it (if only to escape the heat of the lowlands!) so hope you are having as nice a time as I did. DO NOT go to the butterfly place - it's disgusting with dead butterflies everywhere and more being brought out from tiny little plastic bags. Looked at all your photos and it looks beautiful. Perhaps I should have spent more time in Thailand but there will be plenty more opps to travel. I actually preferred Malaysia but it is one of those things that divides opinion right down the middle. Work is going well. Working on marketing for Garnier hair colourants. Was at the BB House for an event last week - all very exciting! 24 grads in the start group so a very nice size. Anyway, glad to hear you are well. Take care. Love, Caroline xxx
