Hi Kirsty & Jouni,

Possible by the time you read this message it will be on the time for you Kirsty to celebrate your birthday. So we say a warm - "Happy birthday" to you and may you continue to have great fun on your trip. We have had a look at your blog and it's quite an adventure - some smashing pics - what an experience! All the very best have a great 2010 and we'll continue to keep watching your progress.

Warmest greetings, love and best wishes Margaret & Mikexx

Maggie and I have been enjoying your photos. Quite an adventure you two are having. Jouni, All you need is an Indiana Jones hat. You have your beautiful mate on an elephant. Adventurous in deed. I will have to share this link with your US relatives.

Oo, Dr Ronkainen! Looking hot with the beard - you should definitely bring that home with you!

Kirst - also looking hot with the tan! By tan, I obviously mean slight colour in your cheeks! He he, only joking - I was actually quite shocked with how brown you are looking!

Photos look awesome as always. Hope the zoo work is still going well.

Miss you,

Pipx

PS If you can get a photo of Dave in his pilot uniform I would love you forever :)

Heips reissulaiset!!

Näyttää tosi mukavalta ja tuntuu varmaan vielä mahtavammalta.. :) Nauttikaahan kaikesta mitä vastaan tulee, harvoin sitä pääsee noin kunnolla ihailemaan ja nauttimaan kaukaisista nähtävyyksistä.

Täällä vähän arktisemmat olosuhteet, tällä hetkellä -7 astetta. Eilen oli 1. talvisarajan juoksukilpailu, 10km aikaan 33.56.. Ei pahastikaan, mutta toivottavasti keväällä taas paljon kovempaa..

Aurinkoisia kelejä ja leppoisia reissupäiviä!!

Terveisin Joulupukin maalta, T&S

Kirst love the one of you on the moped with the water buffalo in the background!

The photos look amazing, so much so infact, that I have about 5 collagues at work crowding round my computer to have a look!You truely are living the dream - ( so inspired you would not beleive!)

Things are ticking along nicely back here, Great Britian is gripped in an X Factor frenzy ( must seem so insignificant where you are) and I have just booked time off for a trip to Oz next year in March for 3 weeks! Woo Hoo!

He kirst shall we get together on Skype soon?

DUFFY CHALLENGE - a photo of you and jouni replicating the Lady and the Tramp moment (with noodles instead of pasta)

Moi, Looks like we have finally discovered where the photos are on display. It all looks pretty nice. You may not have been reading the English newspapers about the parents turning up when they see all the fun the "kids" are getting up to on their round the world trip. According to the always reliable The Times Thailand is one of the easiest places to do the blitz visit so you'd better watch out. It is not too far from where you two are. Nauttikaahan matkailusta. Terveisiä kotoa.

Hi Aunty Kirsty and Uncle Yoyo. Mummy and Daddy just showed me your photos. I loved the elephants so much that I got annoyed when the slideshow was changing them too quickly, but it's okay, Mum went back through them one at a time so I could see you both properly. Mum said I can go on an elephant one day so I started towards the door, but she said not yet. Gutted. I do have my teddy elephant who goes everywhere with me at the moment, but I want to see the big ones!

I miss you and I don't understand why Grandma and Gramps are at home but you are not.

I think Mummy emailed you, but guess what? I am starting nursery this Thursday and I am also going to gymnastics and a dance class (Dad skips that one). Mummy and Daddy are 'silly' and 'dudes' except when they make me eat all my dinner before puds.

Night night,

Lots of cuddles and kisses

p.s. Mum PROMISES to sort out skype and photos on facebook.

Hey ho

Am i the first to leave a message on your blog? Please say I am?

Hope you are having a fantastic time - getting the facebook updates on your journey (usuallly whilst at work staring longingly out of the window)

Not much to update you on...although managed to get a listen of Leona Lewis' new song and oh my god its amazing.....in fact I am a little worried you might miss out on the song of 2009 ( and it is) so when I work it out I will upload it onto this blog

So I was thinking....maybe everytime I write on this blog I could set you a challenge...and then you would have to get a picture and put it on the blog as proof you have passed the challenge....... we could call it DUFFY CHALLENGE? Think of it as homework????ok maybe not homework....(you don't have to do this by the way)

OK so DUFFY CHALLENGE 1 is........A picture of both of you with a McDonalds!
