Hellooooo!!! Just had an hour or so at Newtown to catch up on your exciting adventures. Your blog is fab - just like sitting down to a good book, AND i know the characters! I thought you'd be in Thailand by now but i'm not sure of your dates etc...will you be there for crimbo? My christmas tree is going up tonight....that's how exciting it is here!! I miss you Lizzie...wish i could teletransport myself to a bar and have a sangthip or two with you! Continue having fun, your photos are amazing. Take care sweeeties xXx

Hi both been updating myself with the blog. I have spent most of the day saving all the photos you have posted since NZ. I have been looking at them as you have put them on but hadn't got round to saving them. I was able to do it today as we haven't been out at all as dad is not too well he has Shingles and unfortunately it is on his face, so is most uncomfortabe, we think it is also in his mouth as he has alot of ulcers in his mouth, so it is difficult to eat. We went to hospital Dr yesterday and got some anti-viral drugs, the rash only came out on yesterday morning, so hopefully the drugs will be successful, well enough about us. How are you both, hope you are well and continuing to have a great time, it looks like it from the blog. Where are you now, are you in Thailand yet and as you have booked a flight from Phuket to Singapore, does that mean you have changed where you will be for Xmas? Look forward to the next set of pics and blogs. Love to you both, Mum and Dad

computer at home has been broken,so now fixed spent an hour catching up.sounds like you are having a fantastic time,just had an op on my foot so 6 weeks in plaster so was a good time filler reading about all your adventures,skydiving,bungee jumps,skiing etc etc and i cant even walk properly(pig sick with envy) hope the rest of the trip carries on in the same vein. enjoy

Still on call and have managed to get myself fully up to date with your travels. It all looks fabulous and I am feeling truly green with envy. What camera have you got the photos are stunning? Take carexx
