Bri You can come home... You just can't ever leave again! :)

Jasmine Liv - You'll have to tell me about this website for the matinee broadway show! I'm hoping to catch at least one when I'm in Manhattan. And was that Op Shop really good and recommended? xx

Jasmine Sucks about the ESTA thing!! I've been warned a zillion times too so it's really slack that your travel agent didn't tell you as they should have!! Glad that you got there in one piece :)

Dad Peaceful, peaceful, peaceful....

Mutti I suppose you know that once when your Mother & Elaine (I think) were over there in the time of the wall, they caught a (wrong) train which delivered them to the East berlin station! A very scared pair got out as quickly as possible!!

loz if u see a beer tour on a massive bike the dude who takes the tours it is my friend jon from perth!

Nigel's dad It sounds very much like you are having a ball though I have concerns about your livers. We are in Exmouth after a week in Coral Bay catching fish and snorkelling with those sensible enough to live in a sanctuary zone. Look after yourselves, though the liver can regenerate it does take a while. Love to you both, Rod & Kay PS Uncle Josh's mum passed away early today peacefully listening to Mozart.

Mutti Your experience at Augustinier reminds me of our Christmas at Garmish-Partenkirken where the menu was in german--of course-- and the waitress didn't speak any English. Greg finished up with pigs kidneys!! Ugh

Briallen Clarke haha the belching frenchman! very funny :) Loving these blog updates- let me know when you'll be in skype territory again- arvo/evenings are good for me :)

Mutti You'll have to come over here in winter sometime and we'll have a fondue. They (The boys)mostly go for the meat fondue and particularly the chocolate fondue. Love you Mutti xxxxxxxxxx

Liv lol I didn't even see that until you pointed it out Mum! For the record, that was their censoring, not mine! haha Clearly there's still some technological advances to go...haha

Ma x I know I was right, honey. I know! ;P

Ma x Your first loop-the-loop!! I'm so proud of you!!

Ma x S***ake mushrooms!?!? Are you serious!?!?
