Chloe, thank your lucky stars I was not with you on the bus journey, I would have been under the seat and sobbing. As for the toilets and the bloke in the next cubicle!! that would really have made me feel bad I'm obviously not so tough as you. We all feel we've lead very sheltered lives. Col and I love your journal makes us laugh out loud - keep up the comedy writing. Much love S & C

PS to the last message - take care not to look too much like a millionairess to the Bolivians. Don't want them to think you might have something they can get off you. A battered old rucksack is probably a safer option - sorry to sound so sensible!!

Love,
Anne

Hi Chloe - all of a sudden, having read about Sucre, not sure I want to be in S. America!! My God what are you going through you poor little thing - NOT! I bet you are having the time of your life once you come to terms with the rain, lightening, mad drivers, flying through thunderstorms - as Jim says, character building. You won't know what to do when you reach the luxury of Florida - I bet you will miss your travels in a funny sort of way. We also played Mr. & Mrs. at No. 31 last week with Col and Sylv as well. Mark and I did quite well for a change - usually we sound as if we have never met when you hear the answers! Carry on having a great time, take care. Lots of love, Anne & Mark

Bolivia!! Sounds like the Glastonbury Festival in the rain without the bands! I know we shouldn't laugh, but its pretty funny reading your journal, although I am sure it was awful at the time. Can't believe the cuurency is Bolivianos - not much imagine in that eh?

By the time you get back to the UK you will be tough enough to join the SAS at this rate. Keep on posting the news and the photos.

take care,
love Anne & mark

Ciao Bellissima!!!!
Wow, your travel is really great!!!I'm sorry for your negative experience in El Salvador, but I'm sure you will be grown up after that. Je me suis amusè beacoup à lire tous tes aventures, mème si je te dois dire avec en peu d'envie...;-). Je suis en train de toi ecrire en français parce-que je parle Français plus facilement que l'anglais, mais je te vais ecrire une e-mail en anglais dans un peu de temp, je le promis!. Je vais continuer te suivre durante tes voyages, j'ai compris que tu va aller au Messico dans quelque samain? C'est fantastique...donc après avoir "conquerè" les jeunes corazones de l'Amerique du sud tu vas conquerir meme au centre...pas mal lil!!! I'm only joking, but I really hope you will have a ltta fun...I'll be write you soon, if u'd like.

Chloé xXxXxXxX

hello my treacle! how you doing! sounds like your doing fine! im quite surprised that you haven't been kidnapped and made to marry someone yet! ONLY JOKING! I saw your mum, Jim and Nina today! Nina had a new diary bless her! you have no idea how much I just want to leave dune and get on a plane, but it's just I'm a bit worried what I am going to do about work when I come home! But oh well I will decide when it comes to it! The new Manager starts next monday and I'm a bit dubious because I don't know what she's going to be like! Theres always going to be someone watching now so none of the old tricks allowed! My life is not going to be so much of a doss anymore, but not long untill I will be out of there! I'm a bit sad because your not going to be here for my birthday so you won't be able to cum out! But you will be in Florida having a great time and we can make up for it alot in Mexico! WAHOO! Well I better go because this is becoming a bit of an essay! So hope to hear from you soon! Luv moi! xx xx xx xx xx

Hola corazon!! Well time is flying and very soon you'll be in Mexico with Holly, i'm jealous!! in a good way tho, i wish i could go with u girls, but unfortunately i can't at the moment... well it seems that El Salvador was a little depressing, i know is sad to see how many kids are homeless and working from a very young age, this show us how blessed we are and we really need to value everything we have. Looking foward to read your next entry. We miss u doll.

Take care
Love u

Hi Chloe, Don't quite know what Iv'e done here but seem to keep losing my message - here goes again. Reading with admiration journals, havn't missed a page. The wild life sounds a bit much, wouldn't do for me. The plight of hungry young children must be so sad, and difficult not to give to everyone you see. Had supper at Cringleford on Friday, Anne and Mark also there. Nina loved it when we played Chinese Whispers, its best played with two people with hearing problems (Jim and me), we got some very odd messages at the end. Nina had just been to a school disco and danced with William, so she was in a very bouyant mood. Still waiting for new car, shouldn't be long now. We are expecting more snow this week - you know how to avoid these things. Lotsa love Sylv & Col x x x

Fiona, phillipe!!quelle suprise! J´espere que tout c´est bien en Bergerac! J´amerais bien, rentrer au bergerac, mais je suis en Brésil! Desolée pour mon francais!
Say hello to Laetitia, Carole and everyone for me!!!
I miss the chocolate ice cream (and of course all of Phillipes excellent cooking - bar the blood sausage!!)
Merci beaucoup pour votre message!
Bissous!!
Chloé x

(j´arrose mes salades et je ne mincer plus, comme des bien entendus! I still remember!!)
