HI Linda & Ger,

it was ages I was not looking into your blog! What amazing places you have visited... they seem pictures form the National GEographic: just superb! Very happy to see/read that your world tour is going well. Of course I am happy to do not have been there in the 'freezing wind' and really APPRECIATE the picture of the lake

Wishing you a warm sun and a great time ahead!!

I suppose soon is time for Australia!!!

Enjoy every single minutes and look forward to know all details (later on)

BEST WISHES,

Iris

Hey girls,

AIRBORNE!!!!

Old LA sounds a wee bit like Kirkcaldy (minus the spanish) if you ask me!

Good stuff!

Stu

G'day ! We are enjoying your adventures . Glad to see you crossed the world safely. LA sounds worse than Mexico. It feels like the famine has returned to Ireland, we'll all be shoeless and waifs by the time you return home only eating cabbage and cat stew! Brigids ladies lost in the Connacht final as you know, it was a great game though. All well here, Baby Anna (Orlas latest) is thriving, a robust and hungry Gavin girl (as per usual)! Siobhan is currently writing to Father Christmas for a job....... and a surprise!

Well guys, take it easy, take out your jandals and eat some Spirillina in the wop wops while sleeping in at the sparrows fart. Enjoy New Zealand and all the rest

Regards

Siobhan and Helen

hi linda & Ger,

so far your travels have been awesome and id say it will be hard to beat south america . Thanks for sharing your pics and experiences with us. Life in the Hill of Berries is good, we spend some time minding alfie. our four legged friend from Coosan and without a doubt a baby would be alot easier to mind!! At this moment in time he is shredding papers under the table beside bonnie who is not a bit impressed. Last week I was listening to Willie Hegarty commentating on the county final, the radio was on the window beside the picture of the sacred heart and Alfie was convinced that the sacred heart was talking, and continued to bark up at the picture. It was so funny. A week later, eventhough the radio is gone he looks up at the sacred heart and is not too pleased with its presence, so Alfie is not religious!! Ireland beat the Aussies at the weekend, Liverpool didnt do as well! Unt beat Hull at the weekend. St Bgts U21's are now in the county semi-final, hopefully we'll get a title out of that. Thats all the gen from home, continue to enjoy your exploring. love and hugs Mam X

Hey guys!! I finally caught up on all the blog enteries and photos. All looks amazing. Brings me back it does, most of ye're pics are just like mine with ye in them instead of me!!! Just like all the other millions of Irish backpackers all over the world!!! It's the worst weather here in ireland at the mo, stormy, wet and cold!!! I really need to get out of here again!!!So depressing!!! I think I belong in the southern hemisphere now, even looking at ye're tans depresses me!!! Decorating my apartment at the mo, anything to pass the time til Aaron gets here!! Can't wait!!! Ye deffo have to catch up with him in Brissy!! Enjoy NZ...Lin you'll love all the manuka honey stuff:) Take Care xxx

So amazing to think you two have trodden the same paths as us a year ago. Ger i am sure dave had a wee siochan in the same seat as you did in the salt hotel. Not tempted to splash on the luxury of staying there. right too, prob be warmer sleeping outside. You brave fools for getting into the thermal pool at the end of salt lakes tour. We just couldnt bear to part with our clothes! Funny looking back at the inca trail, god i dont think i will ever forget those four days. Having the runs up there is no fun, i can verify! Enjoy NZ, Class country as well. you will appreciate the hostels and camp sites so much. We will be thinking of you both at Paul and Caitrionas wedding at the wedding. Keep living the dream!!!! xxxx

ps when in queenstown, look into the 3 day ski deal the flight centre run. excellent value.

hey guys. looks like the global credit crunch isn't affecting ye too much!us poor misfortunes have to put up with wet weather and now the worst budget in 20years- tax, tax and more tax! It would have been total depression if Munster had been beaten on Friday night - lucky enough to be fair. Apart from all the doom and gloom all else is well. Still waiting for Liverpool to falter -it will happen! great pictures and blog - not that we will be looking at it too often as its only depressing us!

Just letting you know that Dave and i will be keeping a seat for you in Murrayfield for the first game of the European cup. Leinster are are hopefully going to kick Edinburghs butt!!!

Hope all is well .

Hey guys, ive just had the the chance to catch up with your adventures and have a peep at the pics. everything looks amazing!! Lin the tan is comin along nicley...Ger is looking ok too!!! congrats again on the engagement,cant wait for the party when ye return!!

spare a thought for us poor unfortunates back in drizzly ole Ireland..

take care love Shell x
