I like your towel art! Too much time, methinks!!! Happy Birthday for tomorrow!

Hmmmm - this 3Ms of Africa thing is really tough going - currently sitting on our veranda in Mauritius. Liz hasn't confessed yet but I am wondering whether it's been this level of luxury all along with a few photos of other people's more rustic living thrown in. Ask yourselves, how many photos have you seen of Liz in these so called tents and huts??

Either way I can now independently verify that our intrepid traveller is doing very well and it was lovely to be met by a friendly face at the airport.

All this typing has made me tired - will leave the blogging to Liz and get back to my snooze!

Must cinfess I was a little distirbed at the picture of your dining companion - I thought it was a snake, but then expanded the picture and saw that it was only a lizard - phewwwwwwwww! Mind you - I think there are more snakes than lizards in Mauritius - so BEWARE!, and always check under the sheets before you go to bed.

It certainly seems as if your french is coming along - without you realising it! Would be interesting to have a weekend in France when you get back and see how much you really have developed - nil points or dix points??

Come ci come ca.

It amazes me that given where you are that you are continually managing to keep connected - iphone, ipad, board meetings, wifi, phones - are you sure you really have left the country and are not just camping out at London Zoo and Aquarium?

It all sounds stunning - and I'm in awe of your adventure - keep smiling ;-)

Sounds like you will have some great memories of dives and a skill that will stay with you - enjoy your last few days! I showed your dining companion to mum - beautiful yet disturbing! Mum not so keen! Hope you enjoy your last few days of the second 'M' - I am now on my 'one more week of work' count down and looking forward to meeting you at the third.

Hmmm - I'd like to know when was the last time Angus bought a drink at the bar for a stranger (or a friend for that matter) or indeed knitted a scarf - hopefully the advise is backed up by real life experience?!

Now speaking of roughing it - our hotel in Mauritius has double booked our last night and so I have agreed they can move us out out of the beachfront room to a smaller one in return for a cheaper price, a lunch and massage each. I do hope you've found your inner self by then cos here'll be no chance once i'm there although i can't imagine anything you have done so far comparing to such a traumatic experience as that one will be.........

Really looking forward to seeing you in 2 weeks!

ello ello ello - cor blimey guv'nor you have been busy since my last check-in! All sounds fab and very inspiring - now for a few extras on your 'tick' list: buy a drink at the bar for a complete stranger (dead cert to meet someone!); knit a scarf (keeps ur fingers nimble); write a blog (oops, already doing that); paint a picture (then you can put it on your blog); spear a fish!

Not long now til it's all over and you're back home - so please, please, please continue to enjoy it - have you found your inner self yet? And remember - keeeeeeeeeep smiling ;-)

Hi hope your toe and nose get better soon, bet you still look fab even with a red nose. Enjoy the sea tomorrow, just think of us back in England having to do month end in a grey office. Hugs from the whitehursts x

Hey, Liz - loving the blog. Make sure you're not working too hard. Enjoy your diving - I'm jealous!
We're missing you back here.
Hugs,
Matt xx

Great update liz - The avenue of baobab trees looks amazing! And did those chicken have any idea what they were signing up to on their cruise? Looking forward to hearing your plans for the next couple of weeks.... Enjoy! Kath x

Hi Liz ,
I think deb was trying to leave you a longer message but hit return at the wrong time! Deb, Paula and jo have popped down to London to see kath and have a bit of a shopping trip round Westfield. It's 12 am and we are having a pyjama party with chocolate and a fantastic bottle of chocolate wine, missing you, but it's sounds like you are having a fantastic time, see you very soon lots of love jo, deb Paula and kath

Hi Liz

I have every confidence that Mr J is coping far better than I would without luggage!! Loving the pictures on the blog btw - much easier to imagine a tiny bit f your experience. Love to you and you dad. Xx
