Hey guys! Nice to hear from y'all again - El Zanjon sounds like an amazing place - really interesting.

And hey, that's a very prominent bridge you walked across! It's designed by Santiago Calatrava, one of the world's most famous architects.

Anyway, hope all is well, talk again soon.

Bears!!

Man, why are the South African and French bears so much prettier than the Aussie bear?

The volunteer work sounds lovely, I'm glad you did it! Although seems you should stay away from balloon games, Hayley- try not to aggravate the locals lol =)

The city sounds gorgeous, although obviously you can't wait to get moving,

Awaiting your next update!

Love,

Pip.

Hi guys what a great week you've had, really enjoyd hearing about the birthday party. I can't believe you'll be leaving BA so soon, it'll always have a special plce in your hearts I'm sure

Hey there, good to see another update. A city full of stray cats is a wonderful thing, isn't it? Nice to hear that you're getting out and about around the city, when do you take off for Ushuaia?

hello my long lost friends!! Well you have got me all inspired to travel next year!! Your photos look amazing!!

We are all going out for dinner tonight to Mykanos at knox, and its silly coz when ever we all do somehting and i send around a group text i always go to add you to it, i dont think it has sunk in yet that your on THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD...

But other than that, nothing too exciting has been happening. I am glad i have found this website now as it will keep me entertained at work! god i get so bored there!! Anyway annual leave today (altho it dawned on me thismorning that i should save them all up so i can get paid while i travel!) off to ride the horse :)

love you both so very much and hope your having a fab time!!

HI Hayley, Hi Ryan and thanks for the next chapter of your book. It sounds like your spanish is going well, perhaps you can write a few paragraphs in spanish and we will try and work it out! I like the photos of the cat garden.

It rained here this week, good news for many and soon I will need to cut the grass.

It will be good to test out your spanish skills at the kids birthday, maybe you will understand them, but will they understand you?

Last Sunday Barbara and Carly went to see an exhibition in Bendigo. So I headed off the a swap meet at the Yarra Glen racecourse. Good bargains of kitchenalia for the shop and lots of interesting automobilia and garaganalia (if that is a word). I also visited the train trak winery. It luckily escaped the bushfires. Burnt all around and over to Healesville. They will not make wine (vinify, thats a word) this year because of smoke tainting the grapes. Some vineyards were destroyed and many spoilt by smoke that hung in the air for days.

We need to support these Yarra Valley wineries!

Hi guys, another adventurous week, sounds like you're really seeing lots of BA that the tourists don't. Lookikng forward to hearing how the birthday party goes on Wednesday.

U guys are def going to heaven. Charity work while on holidays? Seriously, u put the rest of us to shame. Loved the blog as always. I really wanna know what the deal is with all the cats. Are they feral or cute?? Glad to hear Spanish class is going well, and tango sounds liek a blast :)
Hayles: Rnd 1 next thurs - Carl v Rich... will send updates :)Also i'm not sure what's going on, but everytime we party they play our songs.. and i have to restrain myself from sending you drunken texts filled with love xox

So what is a gringo and what is phenom??

Hi Hayley, Hi Ryan, hey great photos, please excuse me I 'm just catching up with your blog at the end of the week tonite, Friday here 9.15pm.

We have been enjoying the produce form the vege garden and this week will extend a little to add herbs. Jono and Barbara cleaned out the fish pond and it will once again become a garden feature instead of a swamp.

I like the sound of the antique market and the compass is very cool. Does it have a makers name? is it made of brass?

Football is on tonite, not the real stuff, just NAB Cup Final geelong V Colliwobbles.

Love from David

Hey guys - loving the updates, BA sounds like an awesome place. Y'all planning on heading over the river to Uruguay while you're in the neighbourhood? THe antiques market sounds awesome, of course - a whole different pool of old stuff over there to what you might find over here or in the US, hey?

Missing you lots,

Jono
