Missing you loads!! I have been doing some catching up on your blog! Looks like you're having an amazing time. Can't believe you went skydiving- and you managed to pose for photos at the same time hehe!! Will email soon :) x x x x

Ive looked at all the photos which are very special.loved the scenery shots.Ive also read the events of your travels and enjoyed those too..sounds like you wont want to come back!! enjoy the sun in Oz,cos its freezin here.

Well well missy!! AMAZING!! glad to hear your making the most of everthing... welcome to the sky dive crew!ha. will email you but just wanted to add to your wall! xx

What fantastic scenery. No doubt your mother will be nagging me even more to go there after seeing those pictures. Think we'll skip the skydiving though, and all those other activities not covered by the travel insurance!

I enjoyed your photographs - the scenery is stunning - but not your description of your walk by the crevasse.

I can't believe you did the dive Elle and manged to look so super cool in the process. Now if that had been me and I wasn't pushed out first, I reckon I would have chickened out. I have to say it did look fun though and the pictures are amazing. Loved the one of you pretending to look at your watch!! I presume you had your own cameraman? Can't believe Ellie did it either, and this is someone who used to hate flying. Sounds like you're having a brill time, so much so that when you do return back to rain swept Orpington, you'll be wishing you hadn't and no doubt will be planning your next adventure. Glad the weather has changed for the better. Keep watch for Rita and Roger (next door neighbours) as they are due to fly out any day.Keep having fun - as if you need telling. Love Claire
