The John, and the lovely Sarah, Well! All sounds truely mega. I am truely envious as I sit here cotemplating a ridiculously boring Rolls Royce Contract, Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarp. 20 quid to swap places? per day. per hour? ok, per second?

Nice to read about sarah vomming antics! and extremely impressed about your lake TITicaka (dody spelling) experience. I saw Michael Palin on TITicaka and looked incredible.

The John, good boy for conquering the world's most dangerous road. Now all you need is to be ridiculously receeding to be a real hero like me. I SWEAR!

Anyway, hossman must go, but hossman will return. You will feel his wrath once again very soon. Memories of the Lancaster Boat Club message board?!

Looking forward to catching up in Oz over multiple beers, rice and pea.

PS. Ainley stinks

Hey there Ricky and Sarah!!!

I will be in touch soon.

love C x 

PS Cecil is doing well!! Doing well with instructions. You know what i mean!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!xx 

Hey hey hey - Well yes, Sarah is drunk - she can´t handle her booze and can get quite embarrasing sometimes.

We are in Antafagasta in Chile right now, which has nothing much to offer apart from a bed for the night to split up the marathon journey down the coast. I´ve just bought myself some board shorts and a pair of flip flops that hurt my feet (my toes will toughen up).

Sorry we´ve not put the latest pics on the web yet - San Pedro was shocking for the internet (they can barely do running water, never mind a quick dial up connection) and we are getting up at 2:45 tonight/tomorrow, so there´s no way I´m doing it now!

Ciao all.

ps. Hi to all those first time message boarders. Great to hear from you.

Hellloooo, i am a bit drunk!!  had our first bottle of real Chilean wine this eve...i had spagetti to go with it, richard had half a cow.  Off to pack now.  getting up at 2.30AM to get at 12 hour bus to La Serena- fun fun fun!!  X

The pictures just look so awesome! It's unbelievable!  I am so so so incredibly envious as I sit in rainy Durham writing my dissertation ;-(

Big hugs to you both!  xx

Hi You Two

Finally managed to get on a computer and track your sight down to leave you a message.

Hope you are both well and loving it as much as your pictures suggest.  Looks like you have been to some stunning places and seeing some great sights.  Nothing exciting going on here other than the usual work and play.  Found out that im not working christmas or new years eve so really pleased about that.  me and Gary are bot ok, bought a fresh car yesterday, its the same as mine just a diesel and more power.  Mum, dad, annie and clare are all ok. Jonathan is decorating.

Well i will send u a new message soon. Start on nights tommorow for 7 so that should be fun.  Take care of yourselves.  Have loads of fun were both jealous.

Love Hazel

Hope you enjoy the rest of your trip.

Just about to set of to church. Mum's checked the second disk and they are all ok.Dad's here reading this at the moment and i'm reading at church now, so got to go.

Just got back from a really lovely 'DO' for Auntie Margaret and Uncle Ted's Golden Wedding and checked your website to find your latest update, Great.  Met Becky and Pitt in Durham and had lunch in the Italian by the bridge, the place we went to when we met you in Durham yonks ago!!!  Took Grandma too.  We then subjected Pitt to a crazy family gathering, I think he survived.  It was great, lots of chattering, great memories and best of all Kathryn had put a load of old cine films on DVD, including their wedding.  It was magic, you'll love it when you see it.  Put Becky and Pitt on the train at Darlington and then went back for the evening and have just got back now.  Kathryn and Graham were both there and send their love as does everyone else.  Showed them some of your photos, I think Uncle Ted is packing his bag as I write this!!  Joking apart everyone thought they were fantastic.

Take care and all our love as always.  M & D  XXXXXXXXXXXX

RJW... all looks to be going swimmingly in South America. Can't believe you let those poor guys carry your bags though... if you were a true gent you'd have cariied yours and sarahs! I'm in NZ now seeking refuge with some rellies before heading south. Best of luck, see you soon

I have been reading about your amazing holiday and enjoyed it very much. I was sorry to here that Sarah suffered from motion sickness. I think your photographs are wonderful.

Hi there,

Got your latest package and put the photos on the computer, all present and correct; all 202 !  It all looks amazing and looking forward, eventually, to when you can fill in all the details.  Really looking forward to the DO this weekend.  Will take the computer so can show some of your photos.  Kathryn and Graham will both be there so it'll be great to all get together.  Looking forward to your next journal entry when you next get a minute!!  Hope there's no more "jippy tums!"
