Good luck in the Big Forest sweetie pie (it'll do you good to give up drinking for a few weeks I think), take care and enjoy and see you SOOON!

Christmas party will be dead boring without you so have decided not to bother! Everyone sends lots of Christmas kisses and hugs.

Look after yourself and be very very brave! MERRY CRIMBO xx

Your life at the moment sounds fantastic but one thing is really puzzling me - what is the point of that hat? What does it do? It doesn't much flatter, doesn't keep yer ears warm, doesn't keep the sun out yer eyes and can't be called a fashion item - so what does it DO? Why don't they at least come in pretty colours to match the blankets/capes/skirts? Ask a local will you please sweetie, I need to know?

Hi mad bird .... its taken this long for one of your so called friends to give me your blog details. Nothing to say and nothing happening!!!!!!!

Happy jungling and await to hear how you got!

Blog as very very funny espically the guy wandering into your room totally off his face. Near death expericance with the plaster board ohh the tales you have to tell when you return!! Take care you P

Awwwww mate, sounds totally fab, loved reading re the witches market, sounds right up my alley (excuse the pun)! Your blogs are always such a good read and your photos are fantastic, looking forward to some more. I am about to start thinking about cooking a roast for my boys (all 3 of them!!) and parents and then hopefully Rob is going to do some rugby with the boys - rather him than me!!! Tra for now xxxx

Sorry to be a know it all, but shouldn't the caption read 'my first views of La Paz'. Mind still blurred by the booze? Love the hat though, are you going to get one of the voluminous skirts to go with it. Whatever it all sounds wonderful and although I'm not really the jealous type, maybe I am a tad this time. Carry on where you left off, loving every minute. Nige x

Well as Dawn mates we can now add "fashion icon" to Dawns skills base. Now I know what the angle of the "hats" on the heads means but the competition is do all out there in Dawns blog world know. Post answers here please before she goes and tells us all. Dawn best blog so far. Really got a feel for the trip to Bolivia sounds like you are having a total scream. Only a couple more weeks before you disappear into the Jungles. Like I said before remember you can't get the public to vote you off!! Have a great time with the kids over the next few days. Paul x
