Hey lass,

Your photos are amazing and it looks like you're having an incredible adventure. It took me ages to find the email with the link but here I am.

Will write more when I have more time (am skiving at work) but just to say am missing you but you're not missing much here - the rain is pissin doon and T in the Park approaches for another year so am off to Tesco to get a pair of wellies in preparation. Enjoy yourself doll - stay safe and send me a personal email with any juicy gossip preferably about hot men????????

Much love, Noni xx

Hello, loving the photos and accounts of your adventures so far... favourite piccies have to be the cakes! - scenery pretty spectacular too. Got your postcards so up on the boy's door with some others. Going on our own mini adventure next week, one car (colour unknown), one tent, 8 countries in 18 days following one well arranged plan thanks to a map, the aa online and a few carefully selected guide books - will post message after if we survive. Every day seems to bring a little sunshine and a little rain - something for everyone. Finlay can now swim a few strokes with no armbands, think squeaky beach has given him a "no fear" factor and Lachlan getting speedier. Finners sends a kiss, Lachlan a wave, James a hug -- will post again soon, love susie babe xx

Hi Lorny

Hey J...good to hear from you!

Headscarf not essential but sometimes it felt better to wear more so in Pakistan than in Iran!  I would however have liked to have a kalashnikov on occasion...some of those dudes need to learn how to respect women!!!!

Are you heading to Broken Hill? Hope all went well with exams! Enjoy yer hodilays!

Postcard on the way...did I tell you my Da is heading to Oz to work? Exciting for me!Laters....Lx

Well....here I was scrolling through your photos thinking how lovely your head dress was only to realise (and correct me if I'm wrong but I swear it's you) that a scarf is far from the ultimate accessory for the ladies when in Pakistan. Nice Kalashnikov!

Anyhow, great to see all is going well. Just knocked off the last of my exams yesterday and off for a month. Had a flood in the backyard...bout a metre high and have a new tourist attraction lodged on Newy's beach courtesy of nasty weather....a coal tanker! Gonna skip the ditch and revisit the woolly wonders of down under during the holidays. Should be fun assuming I avoid hypothermia and frostbite!

Til next time

Justin

Hiya Lorny,

Got your wee email and will try again to activate and keep you updated. Looking forward to your next batch of photos. Hope your wee tummy lasts the pace and doesn't cause you any probs! Hetty & Carl are coming up for a week at start of July so I'm taking a week off. Hope the weather's good & we can get out & about. Have had a busy weekend, out Friday & Staurday so today is for chilling and detoxing!!!! Hope to speak soon.

Luv Ya Loads

Hi all! Having probs with very slow connection in Karimabad Pakistan so have given up!

No photos until Islamabad which should be in about 3 days!

Chilling out in the mountains, enjoying the cool air before we hit 45 degrees in Lahore...oh can't wait! And yes Dave we hit the very beginning of monsoon season in India...though we only have 2 weeks there before Nepal and hopefully a little less rain and heat!

There's a bit of a tummy bug flying around the truck....so far my stomach of steel has refused to give in to it....though i have eaten nothing today!

So I shall attempt to eat some food and than hit the sack after a stroll throught the shops...nice woolen shawl I saw yesterday for a whole 300rps...about 3 pounds!

Hope all is well with ye all!

Hey Lorna,

Looking good - I'm loving the pics of the headdress and sunnies. A true contrast! Now that you've hit Iran, I'm incredibly jealous! The pics look stunning. It's always been on my hit list of places to go. Where's next? (my Geography clearly isn't good enough!)

Let me get this right though....surely you're on a collision course with the Monsoon?! It must be pretty tight timing wise! Hope everything's going well on the bus......

Bring me back some "orange flavoured smoke"

Take care,

Dave
