What an adventure ye are having. I hadn't checked blog in few days so I had great reading during my lunch time. I nearly choked with the laughing - the episode with the tiny plane doing twirls - I was thinking of Berney - he'd love all that not to mention the gentle soul in the desert with his love of the auld banger of a car - berney had a few of them too. I'm not up to date yet - people came in - they think I work here!
Lots of love

Enjoying the updates,black plastic bag and all. You do what you have to in a crisis. It gives a new meaning to improvisation. Rachel home tomorrow for a few days before a wedding at the weekend. Emma in London to her for weekend and they will travel home together. Summer course done on Developing Comprehension Stategies so I am Professionally Developed for another year. Enjoy yeareselves and Keep safe.

Hi there, I have to question the spelling of tourist" didis". It reads like a word that some people this side of the country use to describe breasts !!!!!
Sounds like Arequipa s the nicest place so far ?
Chat soon, Margaret

Woohoo !! Blog updated . I am inclined to agree with Ger about erasing the plastic bag incident but then I just remembered how at ease the Stevens's and their descendants are about their bowel tendencies so no doubt Muireann will cope with it !!Chat again soon unless I set fire to myself with candles for Shell tomorrow!!

Lor & Muir, just read today's blog. It's a wonderful update on your itinerary. Interesting journey. It's impossible to visualise the black plastic scenario. Hope tum has settled. Keep safe.

Your daily fix has now been restored!! Yesterday's is up. Following the Galway hurling match on twitter at the moment- would you believe it!!

Ah how disappointing !!! It's like my daily fix now so I am feeling deprived this morning !!
No news apart from Dara's (one of Claire's bridesmaids)engagement. They were on hols in Boston and came home engaged. No surprise really but everyone is delighted for them.
Keep the fingers and toes and anything else that's crossable crossed for Shell on Monday morning !!!
Slán go fóill,Margaret

Hi girls, just read ur blogs. It all seems very interesting so far. The pics really add to the blog. The desert looks very barren in comparison to the 'green green grass of home '. Only for the blog I would be blaming the night life for the falls and bumps - it must be the cock-a-doodle-do. All's well in BallyG. Auntie Bernie x

You must be the best typist on the planet-otherwise half your day must be taken up writing your blog. It's got to be the longest blog I have ever ever read-more like the gospel according to St. Lorraine !!!!
Great that ye are having such fun and broadening your horizons. Definitely must top Sonna !!!
Keep up the good work and take care of each other.
Love you lots, Margaret

can just imagine you trying to see out both sides of the bus and the telly at the same time. Always afraid you would miss anything!
Let us know in the next blog what weather and temperature is like. You havent mentioned it yet so i presume it is tolerable. Enjoy the next tour.

Thanks for the messages everyone!! I love recording everything, wouldn't want to forget it!! Glad ye are enjoying it!
