Lucy C Ello!! Sorry it's taken me forever to send this message, but I have been hugely entertained by your blog, I read the whole thing in one go! (It took about 2 hours - since leaving uni I've lost the ability to read things that are longer than a facebook wallpost). So how's it going Denne? Sounds like you're having an epic journey! Where are you now? Any other near death experiences? What a relief you didn't get caught up in Mumbai, it really worrying for a bit, especially when places you mentioned were in the news :s hope you're not too traumatised... Goa looks immense and makes me wish I was going to India, but hopefully will get my fair share of beaches in the places I'm going! What are you going to do for crimbo? It's actually snowed here properly so I'm counting on a white christmas for once! Was looking at your itinerary and I think we're going to be in New Zealand around the same time as you! Fancy meeting up at some point for epic sightseeing and immense drunken times? We've been trying to book our flights for a week but the guy at STA is being a complete k*** and not emailing me when he should *stress* but I think we're flying both in and out of Auckland (might try and change that if I ever get hold of STA) so hopefully can meet somewhere for a few days - do you know how you're travelling across NZ yet? Oooh I can't wait to go away!!!!!!! I've had enough of home - I don't think I was destined for a life of full time work, I miss being a student! Which reminds me I should apply for my masters soon... Anyway this message is rant central - tell me about your exciting activities please! Keep well, stay safe, don't be a stranger, Clarke xx Ha how random, it's asking me to work out a sum before I can send this! (1+4 - phewf thank god my primary school maths is still intact)
