Hello again, just had to send another message - we have looked at your photos of the inca trail and they are amazing. What a thing to remember. I am wishing now that I wasnt bragging that I walked five miles today after what we have just seen on the photos, cant believe you walked so far, it must have been so hard on the legs.
love Dad

Hello Cherise,
Just come to Aunty Dorothy's, they only got back from Majorca last night. I picked them up, they had a good time. We have seen your e-mail dated 26 March but only seen it today. I have brought Snowball back but unfortunately George died in his sleep over a week ago, just after they had gone on holiday. He had been a bit poorly and also he was very old, he just died in front of the fire in his sleep. I buried him up Crown Point - where your grandmas ashes were scattered.
So it was hard to tell them as they were so happy when I picked them up, Joe was very upset and shed a few tears but he had been half expecting it.
Your mum said today that you rang last night and you had a great time up the Amazon with cockroaches and mozzies! and now you are not feeling too good. Hope you are feeling better by now, take care of yourself.
The description of the trip to Machu Pichu was great, looking forward to reading about your trip to the Amazon. I will be able to contact you regularly now that Aunty Dorothy is back.
I have started doing some walking and have joined a walking club. I walked 5 miles today and then had a pub lunch. Tomorrow I am going to the new St. Peters leisure centre - which has replaced Thomson Centre. I will be doing exercises, step, swimming and weights. I am trying to get big muscular legs like you and Lucy!!
Let us know if you went to the Nasca Lines today. I hope you find its worth it.
What are you doing next, are you going down to Chile where you will leave from to New Zealand.?
Your mum told me you had met some soldiers from England in a bar - bet you all had a great time, hope you didnt get too drunk. We are going to look at the pictures on your website now.
Will be in touch again, hope to hear from you soon, just send an e-mail again. Take good care of yourself, both of you.
Missing you loads, love you lots, From Dad xxxxx
Love also from Aunty Dorothy and Joe. xxxxx

Hi Girls,
Hope you have a great time at the Nasca Lines tomorrow. You will be pleased to hear that we finally had a successful trip today - to Pisac and we even managed a walk up to the top of the hill (and back) without any injuries or accidents to the team.
See you soon,
Rich, Ali, Jim, Clive

Hiya girls, big huge congrats on making it up Macchu Picchu! Photos are great, can't wait to do it myself, though I don't think I'm thoroughly prepared for the physical element of the trek! Not been too energetic so far on my trip, not like you experienced trekkers! You'll see how hard it is to do some exercise once you get to Australia...too many bars to distract you! Will email you girls soon with our itinerary for South America, hopefully will get to see you girls soon. Miss you lots, Nat xxxxxxxxxxx

Lucy, Hi, hope you and Cherise are ok. Love the last lot of photo's.Everyone is well and its quiet now your mum has gone to Ireland.Hope you liked Granny Jean's mail it took her ages, bless her. Granny Jean has been trying to phone Paola to find out when she is going to be in peru and it seems she and her husband left the UK last wednesday 29th and were going to Rio, Brazil first so I'm not sure when she will be arriving in peru ( lima is it ?) to visit her mum. I don't know if or when you were planning to see Paola's mum but I just thought I'd pass this info on to you.
Weather is still crap, cold and wet. Benjamin will be 5 on the 10th April and is having a party. 20 x 5yr olds, help.If at all possible can you wish him a happy birthday via e-mail he will love that.
Right must go, take care. Sally
Dawn

Hi Cherise, remember us, your dad's neighbours?
Your dad gave us the link to this site the other day, looks like you are having the time of your life and fantastic experiences along the way, you will have some wonderful memories to pass on to your children, hehe!
Dad
Hello Cherise, hope you are well. Have you finished your trip to Machu Pichu, what was it like camping in the jungle - at least you didnt have to carry your own tent. Hope you had a great time, did you meet any new friends and if so where where they from? When are you going to Nazca?
I have got both the cats at home now and they are just settling in. I am at Auntie Dorothys just now I have come to take her and Joe to the airport - they are going to Majorca for ten days. So when they get back I will come up and see if you have sent an e-mail and send you another message and I will keep in touch regularly - its good that Auntie Dorothy is a typist!
I went to see Burnley play last night and they won 2-0 against Norwich - first time they have won for 7 games!
We should have gone to the airport at 10.30 as Dorothy said the flight was at 1.30 pm, but when I got there we discov ered that she had read the itinerary wrong and the flight is at 3.30 pm, so we have had to wait at home for a couple of hours, hence this message to you. (we have given Dorothy lots of abuse!)
Please take good care of yourself and text me when you can. Look forward to hearing from you.
Love from Dad, Dorothy and Joe xxxxx
Snowball and George.
Granny Jean

Hello Cherise, thanks for your reply to the e-mail. We have been looking at the website and its wonderful, some lovely photos already and you havnt even got to Machu Pichu yet! Isnt technology great.
Dad - (typed by Dorothy) you will be on baked beans for a few days, at least thats what they do on the TV. Have you tasted guinea pig yet? I will tell your mum about the website and she can go to the One Stop Shop or Natalies to see it, sure she'll love it.
Its still cold here yet, nice and sunny today though. Auntie Dorothy will look at the website regularly and keep up to date with where you are. I'm taking Gizmo back tomorrow to get ready for the visit from the cats. When I say "where's Cherise?" Gizmo stops and just watches the door.
I've been busy doing gas fires etc but tomorrow I am going for my check up at Sheffield.
Have a great time both of you and take care of yourselves. Love you lots
Dad
and Dorothy and Joe
