Hi Nic,

just looked at the austria photos - such fun. Are there any of your Turkey tour and the houses you are living in? Nice to see that one of boys, but I'm am still not sure which is which! Andrew looks so happy in that Christmas Day one, it's good.

Love you Mum xxxx

Hi Nicola,

sounds and looks like you are having just too much fun. Lochness looks very bleak, desolate and SCARY. I can believe that there is an age old monster living in the water. BRRRR.

So are you nannying in the alps? Your Chalet and views looks awesome.

Too bad you won't be in Rome for Easter. That would be a treat. Take care and lots of love,

Katherine, Paul, Taj and Kane

Hi Nic. I loved the pizza in Italy as well - has to be the best in the world - sooo tasty yet so simple. And Peter agrees with you re the gelato - he has always adored it. The owner of the hostel we stayed in took us for a drive after midnight and we ate antipasto, then a gelati shop and we ended up at a doughnut shop. Got home at 2.30am. Our favourite spot on that trip to Italy was Orvietto. It has the narrowest streets and little half wide vehicles that fly around. Great food even though the whole town was having a siesta. All good back here. Caught up with Sue briefly at the planning night. She was flying in and out transporting your fabulous actor brother. Our cows have just had six babies in the last week - soooo cute Love Pauline & Peter

hellooo, great fun at Christmas with your mum and Angus reliving his early years as Darth Vader complete with Light Saber (and he does the woosh noise really well apparently). We ate really yummy food and drank enough but not too much. A fun day all round and not too hot either! love maureen and the gang

Happy New Year. Can't wait to read how you spent Christmas and New Years Eve. Peter was pleased with the photo of Hamish and reference to him. He says can you bring Hamish home? I'm sure our girls would love him. We loved our visit to the UK and its great to revisit with you Love Pauline and Peter

Hi Nicola, glad to hear you are having so much fun. I read you blog for the first time, tonight, and looked at your photos. I read your blog to Paul, and afterwards, he said, "hmm, to be young again huh!" and I said "yes, and to be free to travel unhindered". Paul and I love travelling, but with two little boys now, I think that our travelling days are over, at least for a little (LONG) while. Good luck with the waitressing trial-run. I have heard that the pub scene in Lodon is really awesome (Paul and one of his best friends went to London as part of a Kontiki tour, in 1994). Stay out of trouble, and have HEAPS of fun. Love, Katherine, Paul, Taj and Kane

Hi Nic. We missed you at Toonumbar on the weekend. I had the best time. The usual - toooooo much food, and plenty of wine. Lots of laughs and scrabble and bocce. The Campey boys are growing up so fast. Gorgeous as ever. And Angus has his own fan club, even if they have to be controlled at times. Jack couldn't come either, and Cathy was worried about Ben because he went to the Hunter and there are huge floods there - and we had no mobile coverage. Anyway we laughed and fed the birds and went on looooong bush walks and had pancakes for breakfast even though d*** wasn't there. I will continue to monitor the site to see how you are doing. Have fun. Love Pauline and Peter

Hi, Miss Nicola,

Not having much luck with this. Great to see I was mentioned 3 times in your Sydney blog before you departed for the US of A. My big adventure starts on Wed. 4/6. Pity I'm not coming to Arizona - I could check out if your Girl Guide camp is like the ones I went to in the 1950s. Love you, Gma xo
