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

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,

Hi Rachael
Hope you don't mind a golden oldie muscling in on this site!
Just been having a trawl through your blog - wish this sort of thing had been available when Karen and Stefan did their"world tour". You seem to be having a great time. Didn't realise you were going to Oz are you going to Sydney? Chris, Donna and co would probably have driven down to see you if they had known, (they are about 2hrs north of Sydney in a place called Maitland - although Chris is on secondment in Perth at the moment). We are just starting to plan our next visit (sept 07)!
Hope you fare better than we did in Cairns in February - it was just o hot and humid it was unpleasant at times - but such a difference in scenery - all those endless sugar cane plantations. Are you going to go up to Kuranda by the Baron Falls train and then down in the skyrail? Roland hated the cable car experience! no doubt a trip to the Barrier reef is also on the cards?!
Anyway enough from me - I doubt you have time to sit and read reams. Continue to have a wonderful time - keep safe. CUS
Gill and Roland

Hi Girls,
Didn't realise you were on an undercover mission to overthrow the Thai government !! According to BBC reports everything is very calm, with no immediate concern for Tourists - so we needn't panic - just yet. Are you only in Thailand for a few more days before moving on to Malaysia?
Sounds like you're having a whale of a time so on with the adventure.
BFN
Luv to all,

Hi Annie,
Looks like you're having a fantastic time.I'm loving the dirty buckets,it makes our pint glasses look like a short measure.
The ting tong experience looked disturbing to say the least,it was the wrong thing to do to look at you're pic's before breakfast.They made me chuckle to myself tho.
Take care xxx
Kev

(sunburn not QUITE so stunning..) i am so jealous, you must be having the time of your lives with those (sexy) boys and the bookshelf!!
..Rach.. any marriage material? or at least snogging material? i defo spotted some hotties in those photos.
no real news from this end - only that i stood in the queue and spoke to lenny henry in natwest when waiting to pay my rent in natwest last week. i was sweating like a trooper but hey, hes another to add onto the celeb spots list!

Loving this journal website thing! Thought I'd leave you an ickle message.
Glad you are all staying safe and having a wonderful time. Hope the sunburn isn't causing you too many problems, just the chance to get sunburnt over here would be nice!

I shall email you properly very soon but for now take care and have fun and I'll look forward to the next update. Lots of love xxx

Hello Rach (and Annie and Kate).
Sounds like you're having fun! I have to say that it's NOT FAIR because Leamington is no fun at all. And further to Lucy's note, I think I know what that text was now- was it about guillemots being the best band in the world? Well, I was exaggerating, but I wasn't drunk, just a bit over-excited.
