Hey guys, sounds like you still haven't settled down with the drinking yet, i guess you'll be driving more than one van across NZ to make some money.

You'll want to borrow them if it snows again this century. great blog keep them coming. take care Stu XXX

Dear Slim, I wrote but you still ain't callin. I left my cell, my pager, and my home phone at the bottom. I sent two letters back in autumn, you must not-a got 'em. There probably was a problem at the post office or somethin!!
hahah i laughed so much when you sent me your last e-mail Charles. I hope you're both still having an amazing time, it sounds like it anyway. I don't know how you dared swim with dolphins, wouldn't there have been aligators in there! i cringe when i think about it! I bet the treeswing was good, i wouldn't have dared let go! I bet the face-flop was painful!
It feels like you've been gone for sooo long, expecially when you've packed so much in already. I can't quite believe you're STILL in South America (i nearly put Africa then, you know my geography is bad but... not quite that bad!)
I'm sending something out with Maisy for you, and yes it includes a memory PEN, not stick! i don't know why you find that so funny.
Anyway, essay or what, i get a bit carried away.
Miss you more than saying (shouting out) Indian dishes in the Sweet Centre!

Hello you two monkeys!
The rope swinging would be hilarious to see. Glad to hear you are both keeping a scrap book. I can just imagine you 2 cutting and sticking and writing them up each night. (I wish you'd have put so much effort into your coursework Charles)!
Looking forward to the pics of the anaconda too.
Still missing you lots but it's more under control now!! LOL
Mum xxxxxxxxxx

just to highlight that I did not write the last sentence on my last message, and that I am therefore not a complete stalker! I am unaware who did...but assuming it was one of my very very funny flatmates. I just looked at it then and was like whattt?? ha. x

loved the blog, made me laugh. very impressed at the curry eating, I couldn't have done it! and bread and butter pudding, must have been the best day of your travelling experience so far!! remember when you cooked it for me? haha yes max did cook charles as odd as this may sound! as for comfy pants...I hope your mum has thrown them away! I can't believe you didn't take them with you, did you just save them for when I came round? lol. Having a bit of a nightmare at the flat...the company that we have signed with for next year has gone into administration and its all a big mess lol. anyway this may parallel with your attempt at a novel soon, so i'm going to go! hope your both ok, missing you x x x x

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Miss you lots like jelly tots
Mum (Of Charles)
Loved the arty pictures of the coke bottles etc. Glad to see you're not wasting away after your illness Charles. Can't send you a Valentines card this year.....It would be too obvious!
Mesaage to Max's Mum......yes,it's awful, missing the hugs and even the mess when he arrived home in the early hours and munched his way through the fridge!! Won't be long now.

Just a brief note to emphasise that, whilst you are distinctly out of sight, you are not out of mind. Keep on enjoying yourselves (if only I was 50 years younger.....) but try to avoid starting any revolutions when drunk.
Love - Grandad
Mum Of Max
