Your trek sounds most fascinating - I'm not too sure about the sheer drops you experienced whilst on the bus and the meeting with the girl gave us a chuckle. Just goes to show a woman's more interested in the size of your wallet!!! We've seen a programme on TV about snow leopards - they're amazing animals - that'll be the closest we ever come to seeing one as I very much doubt we'll be treking in the Himalayas - we like our home comforts too much and all this business about getting out of breath - well we'll leave it to you young ones!!! Doesn't seem two minutes since you went and now you'll soon be back - make the most of it and remember to have a shave and shower before you come home - don't think mum and dad will appreciate it if you're smelly!!! Carry on having a great time. Look forward to hearing all about it on your return. Take Care.
Love and best wishes

Hiya Graeme
Loved the recent blogs - intrigued about the near miss with the hair cut. Dad and I watched the Michael Pailin Himalaya video the other night just to get a flavour of what you could be seeing/experiencing. it all seems unreal on this side of the world. Impressed with the teaching - Taverham High could be adding you to their list. Enjoy the trekking and take care. Lots & lots of love.

Hello Graeme,
Things sound very different out in Katmandu than here in sunny Manchester. Missed you at the wedding last Saturday - a good time was had by all but we missed your DIVA dancing!!! Rob keeps us informed of your progress - we believe you speak to him quite often whilst supposedly working!!!! Good job I'm not out there as I hate curry - give me my roast dinner any day!!!! It all sounds extremely interesting but don't waste away. Speak with you soon. Take care.
Love Lynda and Peter xxx

Hey! Im loving the latest journal entry:) Maybe because I love New Zealand so much. Ive only been to north island and I know you're in for a treat young man! Check out hotwater beach south-east of Auckland-stunning in a word! Ive emailed you a contact in north island if you need somewhere to stay on your travels. Take care x x x x

Hi Graeme,
I'm still in Sydney and I finished my job so if you get this before you leave for NZ give me a call on 0406875497. I'm living in Darlinghurst which is 5 mins from Kings Cross which is where I imagine you might be staying. My parents are coming to visit me here in Oz as of today which is very exciting! Hopefully might get to see you too! Charlie

Heya! It was so nice hearing your voice the other day, I can't believe its been 5 months since we have spoken! The delayed timing was quite funny with all the pausing in between! Yes as mum says feel free to send me a pearl or 10 back, they would be much appreciated! Still so excited bout my results tho it hasn't quite sunk in yet, graduation is 3 weeks off which is cool! At work at mo and its pretty boring tho the people are lovely! Off for my final Hep B jab today which im soooooo excited about! Loving your photos by the way...how do you know where its safe to swim without crocs? Did you know crocodiles are 10 x more aggressive than alligators! Thought i should warn you before you get tempted to pick one up....ooo actually i wouldn't mind a croc skin handbag tho! Love you lots and take care. Hels x x x
