omg excellent! Beating chris at fishing and him sulking made me chuckle (similar issue the other day with ian, I beat him 3x in a row at Battleships, he was not impressed. Not as exciting as piranha fishing, but the boy's competitive attitude is still there no matter what!) And then Chris shouting at the caimans "explaining" that he doesn't have fish, like the caiman would understand English, that made me laugh out loud!

and chris you poor thing, seems you've been called every name other than CHRIS!!

Love it, keep up the blogs, they're amazing!! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Another fantastic blog and beautiful, breath taking photos !!! How do you manage to do it. In between trekking through the jungle, jumping on a plane every other day (or so it seems) you still have time to write up some really interesting and entertaining bloggs and upload those wonderful photos. I was going to pick out one or two photos to say how fantastic they are, but I can't. They are all so wonderful. It's making me feel tired just watching and reading about all your experiences, you must be shattered. Thank you so much for keeping us totally updating with your travels, we really appreciate it. Hope you keep enjoying yourselves - safely !! Loads of love to you both, XXXXX

loving the photos, so many amazing birds - and worrying large rodent creatures on your table!? I can only imagine how pained Fish must have been when he realised dancing was in store ... ha haha . looks like he pulled it off though. flightmare my end too... i just got back from cuba with nat - i went off alone into havana on our last day without my phone, and not knowing that we had the flight time wrong by 2 hours ... so nat was having panics that i'd be left in cuba!.... i happened to come back early for a spot of sunbathing... just made it, and nat had packed all my stuff for me :-) xx

Phew - just read the amazing blog - congrats Emma on leaving nothing out! My good ness that taxi ride to/from - I think I would have ended up a quivering wreck in a pool of water! Just love Christo's new name......I have every expectations that you will not let him forgt it - well, maybe when you are back in 'ol Blighty! Don;t forget that we are off to Canada so will be "quiet" for next 13/14 days. Love to you both xxxxx

loving the album for this, just beautiful!!! Airport drama, sounds so stressful, but looked like you had at all under control! Miss ya loads xxxxxxxxxx

Ahhh, so cool! I love a bit of airport drama. Glad you're having a wicked time dude, mais jealous :) xxx

Hi - just shared your day trip experience - you are both well wrapped up, so guess blue skies are not around. Jenna's off to Cuba on Sunday with Natalie - hmm, can't find it on the map but I do know that it is in S. America so you will both be on the same Continent for 4 days! I'll keep looking...love to you both, xxx

Very interesting read again, thanks both. Lovely photos giving us a great flavour of the areas you're visiting. What fantastic sights and experiences you are both having. BA looks like a really interesting city with fantastic sights and sounds. Hope you continue to have a fantastic time and keep managing to enjoy yourselves. Glad to hear that even though it's hand washing, I'm pleased that you are washing your smalls !!! Love to you both, XXXXXX

Hey - another comment - just enjoyed touring around BA in the comfort of office chair! I didn't see a photo, which defined clearly your "leap of faith!" You're both still smiling so I know all is well and the scowls were just to outdo the sculptured head! I got the message about the pervading Tango theme - I'm sure it helps to keep the population happy & trim. Off now to play with the nameless kittens - who actually, want to play with me! xxx

Hey - I clicked on your blog and holá there you are! Have yet to look at photos...just had to comment on the fact that a) blog interesting b) are you crazy - at approaching 30, maturity looms - well , I thought it did, but guess you must have a bit of a Peter Pan in you! I hope Emma has forgiven you for missing out on the market shopping - serioulsy though, plse refrain from hurting yourself, deliberately, again. I have to confess that Dad made me do a summersault a couple of years ago - well, I thought, easy-peasy - but half way through my well executed roll (well I thought so), my neck protested and I fear I was not myself for a few days! I learnt that lesson well......
I'm writing to you, on a rather auspicious day.....hope you enjoy your last day in BA. Have a safe flight - Rio looks very interesting & fascinating - enjoy!
Love to you both xx

Oh Emma, wonderful - thanks for sharing so much with us - I love all the "minor" details - including Christo's inability to admit his skiing was not up to speed!l Next time, I must remember to make a coffee first before I sit down to read you amazing blog!

The kittens, alas, are still nameless - we just can't agree - I was hoping that by their behavior, names might suddenly become obvious - wrong! The girl is more adventurous - the boy cautious and squeaks a lot! Both are fast learners and very sociable - they "watch" TV with us, usually snuggled up inside some of our clothing!
Your car was driven to Newbury last Thursday; Christo's car engine was run and all looking good - nearly one month down....5 to go!
We are off to Canada on 28th Sept. for 2 weeks - did you know? So, not taking laptop so will be quiet, electronically, but nothing to worry about. Was the taxi fare horrendous or - as "good value" as your "spare room?!". When in Vancouver, I think I will try and steer Roger towards this kindof accomodation as all in all, flight was expensive as is the car hire....just hope McDonalds is available on the food-front!!
Off now to play with the kittens agaibn.
Loking forward, already, for your next blog. Thanks for taking the time to write it.
Love to you both. xxx
ps Roger has renewed my PC subscription -may do a quick maintenance trip, by car, to PG - 2 short October lets motivates us to go...

just sounds so awesome, when you get back Chris maybe you can do a budget spreadsheet for keren and i!! big love to you both
