Hi Girls,
Sounds as though it was worth all the hard work to have this trip,
Am keeping F & G posted with current events, F's lap top is in hospital for ten days.
The African weather sounds about normal, unpredictable.
Keep the news coming.
Love you
F,G,J& D

Hey Girlies,
First of all i would like to say how incredibly impressed i am with your journal entries and i am opening up a book with any member who has written in the messages as to how long the girls can go without missing a single day!! Keep in touch everyone you could win BIG haha.
Im glad Sophie didnt get a ball in in the pool competiton ao that im not the only one ever who hasnt. Well done Tami you beat me, not an easy thing to do, well done!!! I cannot believe you got the cable car down thats a poor effort! You should have walked accross the whole top and gone down the other side into the botanical gardens oh which you should go to btw if you havent already cos they are (in the words of Sophie) So Good. Anyways glad you didnt get stabbed or anything its always a bonus. Shame about the clouds though i me and howard had a 30sec break in which we madly got out the cameras and started snapping away. Just lucky i guess!
Hey im impressed you went in the sea! I put my right foot in and then decided that it was a really stupid idea! strange hey that its like 30 degrees outside and about 10 in the sea! Freezing good luck with the cage dive i dont care about the sharks i wouldnt even get in the water lol.
Glad you guys are meeting loads of people and having a superdooper time Have an amazing Safari and try not to catch Malaria ok!
PS Dad is ok now he just cant do too much for about a month so he is a little bored
PPS I Love You
PPPS Say hi to Frauka for me lol

Hi,
This is just a message from Matt McD that I am passing on:
He says hello and wishes you both well. He apologises for not having written anything himself as of yet but that is only because he has had some rediculously hectic weeks so far.
Still though he will post as soon as he can.
All the best
Matt

Hi Tammi
Work is still very dull without you, cant wait to read your next journal entry - and I hope it is going to include the fact that you will have booked your Shark Dive !!! Have you manage to climb Table Mountain yet??? Are you less red now and actually obtaining an african tan??? So many questions!!!! Keep having fun.
Damn your stupid message board, posting an empty message on me.. All I was gonna say was:
STAY AWAY FROM THE SHARKS!!!

I cant believe you have a picture of that band, they were there when i was! I bet they are even better now haha. Are you guys going to do a shark cage dive?? That will be scary as hell but i imagine it will be so worth it! Missing you guys loads. Stay out of trouble!!! Jon xXx

Ok miss Farrow, my ass is on it.
Sounds good. Really good. And cool. And Fun. And great. And cool.
Be careful you don't get chompped by Great whites on your travels you two. Poking 'em in the eye is how to deal with them.... if such an occasion should come up.
Speak soon,

Alright girls!!
So it sounds like everythings pretty awesome over there, I'm really jealous that you're getting to see all these wonderful places before me (definitly not being competitive again.. hehe!)
Anyways things are going ok here, Dad is doing well, seems much perked up and itching to get out of hospital. Mum doesn't seem too traumatised either anymore, which can only be a good thing. Downside is that we now seem to be on a pretty strict healthy diet now in an effort to 'lower the family cholesterol', so I'll probably be thin as a rake by the time you come back!!
Well, I'm supremely jealous of you getting sun burnt (well, not exactly, but I'm jealous that its sunny - I'd forgotten how much I've missed the sun, seriously I Need to live somewhere hot I've decided.. California sounds like a good bet.) I also hear you're moving home to somewhere a bit closer to the bars!! Tut tut.. I thought you were gonna get healthy and give up alcohol Sophie.. ;) Fat chance!
Anyway, I've not yet gone out and met my replacement girls (although the two jon met sound alright.. ;P) But I may see if there are any floating around at the weekend.. ;) we'll see what happens though, you could find yourselves out of a job.. hahahha
Well I've rambled on far too long as usual.. Journal entries were cool! Keep 'em coming
Matt
