Hello there jolly travellers,
Must say the pics look very nice, looks like there is some very nice scenery. Van isnt as big as i thought it would be, dunno how you manage to get all your gear in there but youve done well.
So looks like im the only one left at Hill road then, well apart from amanda of course. Good news is i sold 3 cars on sat and 2 today (Monday) so things are looking up lol
Have no idea where you are or where you are heading but we hope you continue to have as an amazing time as you already have done.
Miss you lots
lots of love Dan & Amanda x x x x x x x x x x

Hi Paul and Zoe.
I got a certificate today at school for helping others and teachers.
We are learning about India at school and how poor the people are.
We have to learn songs about many countries and we are going to sing them at Christmas.
I'm still collecting all the things about Dr Who Battles in time cards. I got a noisy lid with a flashing light for the TARDIS box that I keep my cards safely in.
Grandad keeps asking me what else I can tell you - but I cannot think of anything else.
Are you still happy in New Zealand?
Have you seen any sharks yet?
Have you taken any pictures of them yet?
luv u both loads.
Bradley

How annoying is the internet!!! I just wrote you an essay then got cut off!! So I have to start all over again, so i'm sorry if you get this twice!!!

Just been checking out your pics!! I don't know why you guys want to stay!! ha ha I'm so jealous!!

Not much news here, we've had a relaxing weekend, I haven't set foot out the door once (which is unusual for me!) Had tom, michelle, howard and lucy over for drinks last night. Was trying to teach them that drinking game where you count to 11 (don't know what its called!) It made me think of you guys and laugh, especially when the no pointing rule was brought in!!!

The house is still the same! Although we have caught another Stuart Little!!! Mark being mark insisted on playing with it before I made him put it in the bin! I want to get rid of the little rascals though cos we're going to buy our new kitchen on Thurs! I don't care what anyone says if you nag and moan for long enough you will always get what you want in the end!! ha ha

I still can't believe that you guys aren't just down the road anymore! Miss you sooooo much. The Shipp just isn't the same without you!! But we are so proud of you for what you are doing. Miss my Zoe cuddles though!!

Anyway, keep having a fab time and as always keep safe!
Love you both lots

Morning campers!

It was great to hear your voice during the week babe, we are so pleased you are having a wondeful time. Think about you every day and wonder what adventures you are experiencing. I think you have travelled up to the north island; can't wait to hear what that is like. Really missing you, look forward to hearing from you soon.
Lots of Love and hugs, Jem and Dave xxx

Hello Paul & Zoe,
Just had a look at the updates and you appear to be well into the swing of things. Bad weekend for the Hammers too.

Oh and the five a side is not the same without that cultured left foot of yours.

Love u & miss u both loads, can't w8 2 c all the pics & hear all the stories. Ben & Traci xXxX

Well I'm back from the toft, boy was it cold! It was nice to see everyone, well except Bob who seems to be breeding a colony of spiders to stop me from coming over to demand cups of tea and refuge from the Crazy One. Margi is right it is very quiet at number 14 after putting their wedding film on dvd they are rekindling the lurve....very disturbing! Your trip spunds amazing, I have decided to put Austrailia off until Novemeber 2007 to give me more time to plan it plus that means I can do Spain in April and Turkey in June - why have 1 holiday hwen you can have 3! Paul I am sure you will know by now that Spurs lost 3-1 to Reading yesterday........honestly Reading, disgraceful! I am thinking of dropping Paul Robinson as my fantasy football goalkeeper he is costing me valuable points. I am sure you don't care that Norwich won 1-0 but I am going to tell you anyway! Anyway that is my update, lots of love and hugs, your wise cousin Cheryl xxx

Hello you 2,
Thought it was about time I pulled my finger out and sent you a quick message. Sorry to hear you are having such a terrible time and that your three legged donkey got upgraded to a posh camper van. I'm sure your both just gritting your teeth and putting up with it as best you can! I can honestly say that I wouldn't want to be in your shoes, especially if their Juess creepers and white socks and Daniel said!
I hope its everything the pair of you hoped for and that you do eventually decide to come back to Blighty to show us all your slideshow!
Lots of Love,
The very non-jellous Watlington 4. x x x
