Yes Nick you bell! Enjoyed reading your journal entries and looking at your photo's, I was loving the geography reunion one, awesome. Banter!!! Clearly would have been better if I was there. Norwich is poo, well it's not that bad but would much rather be in Oz. Pretty much decided I'm gonna do some travelling next year, ooooo yeah. I've wrote you a message on facebook the other day (arn't u a lucky boy)!! And are u losing weight?!! Your looking well, if a bit orange. I'm almost as obese as jonny now - not good. Well I hope you both continue to have an awesome time. Bow has just headed over to India. Was loving the photo's of you and phil, carrrazy! Ha ha, bet that was a laugh. Anyway keep in touch xxxx

Hello Helen and Nick, glad you're having a great time. Would love to be out there on the beach instead of standing in muddy windy fields watching rugby and football! Hope you have found jobs by now. Know a few people who are also in Australia just now-very popular place! Take care of yourselves, will be in touch soon. Love Sara XXX

Hey Nicko and Helen, it's Charlie boy just writing to say hi. HI! Rugby is going well and i hope your holiday(s) is too :D I'll write more soon, au revoir (that's french) Charlie Choo

Thanks for the fantastic flowers -really beautiful. Have had a whole raft of surprises; will email you at length later today, but try to catch you now before it's bedtime there! Don't think I would be great with those enormous bats you've got on your pics - would rather take my chances swimming I think. Good luck with the jobs! Love you xxx

Hey bro,

Sounds like you've got it all pretty sorted! Wish I was 5 minutes walk from Bondi beach! What are the waves like at the moment - impressive? Have you had that surfer thing yet where all the water decides to drop out of your nose at the most random time in the evening - always amusing, especially at dinner time!

Anyway, keep enjoying it (I'm sure it must be hard) and have those fists ready for any sharks that get too close...

Ciao for now,

Chris

PS Love to Helen!

Hi Nick

I recieved your email the other day. It was sent around the office by WEndy and Jo printed it out and is now on the notice board! Carlos has been on holiday so he hasn't seen it yet but when he does he'll find it hilarious. Keep the photo's coming, I've looked at your sight and sounds like you are seeing a lot of the great wonders of the world!!! Be safe x

Hi Nick and Helen.Good to hear you enjoyed China.What sort of temperatures did you you experience?Is October a good month to visit weather-wise?We are thinking of a trip Oct 2007.We are sure you will enjoy Oz,can't wait to hear your updates-ENJOY!!!XX

Great to get all the emails. Not sure if you got my last one - just to say Myra sent her phone number and Neils so you can reach them. Let me know if you've not received them. Photos of Great Wall and Terracotta army impressive! Can't wait to see them in colour. Oz will be great and at least you will be able to understand the locals now - maybe! G'day!

Mate!!! enjoyed reading your journal entries. Tried reading them the other day but it wont surprise you2find out my laptop is playing up - and no I haven't peed on it (again).

China sounds awesome, I think I'd be a real hit over there, especially in the karaoke bars, or is that Japan?! Looking4ward 2seeing your photo's. The banter is lacking in norwich so I'm very envious of your travels. Keep me posted!

Lots of love Hobbsy xXx

Hi love(s)
glad you arrived safely and that you are both already looking for pandas. We are not off for a "chinese" tonight as Katarina is coming over but I bet you two are. Make sure you take care what you photograph so as not to get into trouble with authoriyies (although I am sure the odd steam train is fine.

pip, pip

Dad

Great to hear you're safely arrived and enjoying the sights although through the smog! Very envious of you both but so glad you can do this - you've earned it! Looking forward to the updates. Enjoy the sea slug although probably best not to ask what's in everything!! xx
