Hi sweetheart you do certainly seem to be having some weird, eventful days, but at least you will appreciate the transport in the uk when you get back or should I say yo, man get down in ye old truc wen i it mi hed on teh ruf - get mi drift ! Your journalistic skills really crack me up and I am sure you will look back on these in years to come, in disbelief ! All that private education really paid off didn't it !!
Seriously though, great you are keeping in touch, carry on enjoying yourself, you seem to be getting on well with the locals !
Look forward to your next instalment. luv you lots mum xx

Hi Ash, reading your journal it's good to see you are having a great time. Please to note your are doing the culture bits rather than just the drinking! Life is a bit quiet without you being about, no one to help when i have jobs! Your mum and i when to France for the weekend sorry we missed you. Think we have found a villa near Cannes to buy which is half finished. Also all change on the cars. Take care of yourself have fun but be safe.
See you in Oz in April, love always Steveo x

Not sure where the rest of your messages have gone as I can't seem to see them today, but you did have messages on there from nanny, Jon and me. We are all following your journey Ashley.
luv u xxxx

hi sweetheart
The photos are great, keep it up, it looks like an interesting place.
I'm sure Lucia will appreciate your message and photo !
love you

Hi sweetheart
just read your report from Nah Trang (9th Feb), it took me along time as I couldn't work out your slang language - it's worse than when you text ! But sounds like you are having a wonderful, relaxing time, but please watch your drinking ! 20 drinks in one night is far too many and your liver won't last until the end of your adventure - and you can't buy a new one remember that !
Sorry I haven't replied until now, but we have been away for a few days (I will tell you more on your own email address). I got your email and arranged what you asked me to!

I look forward to reading your next update.
Becareful, have fun and love you lots.
Mummy & Stevo xx nou has gone back to Uni and sends her love too xxx

Hi Ashley, I have been told not to embarrass you, hence the heading. Fancy Nanny finding the website, I guess the spelling and content were not really for Grans' as we live in another world, sounds as if you are burning the candle at both ends. Like Mummy I am concerned about the drinking, you have no idea or care about the consequences. You seem to have made friends quickly, try to keep with a group and don't wander off on your own.
I check your travel journal every day. Our 'exciting' daily life does not keep pace with yours. Yesterday we backpacked down to Lymington, took in a couple of waterslides. Today we are off to the winter olympics (in front of the TV) Remember what I told you at the airport, keep safe, love you, Nanny, Grandad & Chris

Hi sweetheart
Great to hear from you, fantastic that you are actually doing this travel log, it is great fun for all of us back home to follow your journey. Nanny and Grandad were first to find your journal and read it to me over the phone !

Sounds like you have bumped into some fun people and are having a whale of a time. Continue to have fun, take care and most of all - try and drink some bottled water and think of your liver !!!!!! - sorry Mummy nagging again !

Look forward to reading your next update soon.
Take care, be safe and have fun !
