sue eades Have looked at your pic's and read the blog, I'm in awe of your experiences so far. What clever young people you are to see the world and get a feel of life elsewhere before getting tied down with careers etc. I wouldn't venture along a jungle trail, my nerves couldn't take the possibility of clocking one of those spiders. Eeek. I've printed your emails (censored tho') to show your fans at the cafe. xxx

Beccy Hi guys Loving the blog and all the pics!! You both Look lushus and brown. You are eating loadsa steak though!!! It's probably not even cow meat in those countries, they're secretly feeding you dog or elephant or something!! Just a cheery thought.....!! Have fun!!

Karen What a fantastic way of keeping in touch! Glad you are both having the time of your life. It reminds me of when i lived in the Carribean - lots of carnivals and drink. Fab photos. xx
