Nik, do you remember last year you said I was "mad as a bag of wasps"! The 2 text messages sent late last night suggest you may have become infected with equal madness: first message - "Hey, I just won a competition I'm about to throw myself off the sky tower. second message -Hey I just jumped off the tallest building in the southern hemisphere for free - it was amazing!" yep you're as mad as a bag of wasps - but h%ll you're having fun....lots of love and hugs xxxxx by the way that building is huge you may be mad but you're also brave.

Hope you're having a fab time! All sounds very nice. Can't believe you fell for that scam though - a boomeragng in fiji? you could have waited until Oz! Anyway hope you're well and not getting too many freckles. I'm leaving Hull as well this month and moving to the lesser tropical climate of Leeds with work! Piper withdrawal, Piper withdrawal xx

Alex has it all wrong is Fiji bitter! How luckly are the mozzies getting to bit on Sazzas sexy pins when ever they wish! Hmmm afternoon tea and homemade scones not to sure about the ants in the brown sugar tho! Enjoy the islands and make sure you scuba scuba! x

oh. drink fiji beer! that is its name its so right when you are there. like drinking red stripe in jamaica.....hmm. it gorgeous. enough now. ly xx

you travel rookies! cant believe you fell for the ' special present' scam! as an ambassador for fiji (well i am famous there surely) i feel i should've warned you about this. didnt we write a scam avoidance section in your notebook saz? ah well it all adds to the richness of the experience blah blah blah. im v jealous of you. have you been on the raft and on the palm tree swing over the sea.....how are the scones...aaah. ps not all towns are as bad as nadi, we went to sigatoka and lautoka, no probs at all. are you going on a jungle trek? just realised this is the longest message board entry ever now, i really should've emailed. ah well. too late now. miss you xxxxxx

Hi everyone thanks for all your messages! Sorry for the lack of entries so far- internet is not working in our hostel at moment-will try to add some photos when we can!!! Hope you're all ok! Love Saz n Niki! xx

Hi Sarah and Niki Hope you are both ok. Lovely to hear what a great time you are having. Know the internet is not working there but looking forward to some pictures of you both soon. You must be getting bored of Figi by now, nothing to do, sandy beaches, blue sea etc etc. Enjoy yourselves and take care. Miss you Sarah so does Charlie, he looks for you in a morning and on a night. Take care both of you and most of all have fun. Love Mum and Dad K. xx

hi niki finally got round to looking at your journal i'm sooooo jealous sounds like you're having loads of fun & new experiences weather here so lousy need some of what you've got but will have to keep dreaming. wedding plans in full throttle now 11 weeks only can you believe it trying to sort out hen party going to stay local i think, meal with mates and pub crawl then nightclub sounds okay to me glyn's going to blackpool with about 50 others anthony has cried off which i thought he might because its not really his thing, getting drunk and making a fool of himself. thinking of you often keep having fun but you don't need me to tell you that. take care. ann and glyn

We've had a text message from Nik - just to let everyone know the intrepid travellers are safe and well but are unable to access the internet. Apparently, they are having free afternoon tea and homemade scones - EVERYDAY! Oh what about the bikinis girls?

Hi Sarah, Come on, life must be so exciting you have not got time to let us know what you are upto. I'm sitting here with nothing to do, I need something to read an we could do with a photo or two. I have another three weeks sick so post something soon. Jenny.

Hi Nik We have been following your itinerary jealously and it has at least given us something to do at work! I have to say though we are missing you loads and I have completely gone into decline and am eating my way through the days without you to keep me on the straight and narrow! Sounds like you have had a fab time in San Fran and we want updates on Fiji soon. Take Care! Lots of Love Lorna xxx
