hi sweetie! seals and orcas awesome! getting vicarious thrills from your trip, esp seeing you astride your bike in your leathers. lovely. i too have a steed, but she is small and brown, and likes to hang around the kitchen, er, with the chickens and other assorted animals. this house is literally full of s***. her name is bronwen and she's welsh, obviously. land rover no match for your beautiful range rover, but for 700 quid it is splendid replacement for merc, which died on way back from rock last wk, boat in tow. 4 wheel-drive is fun - i make a bee-line for sleeping policemen to give it a run for its money. esme resolute and mature and oh so sweet as newly fledged schoolgirl, and noah and gus send you their best guncartridge loving. vxxx

Mark - I got a LAND ROVER... Vivienne very happy as she can now get HORSE and BOX and travel around the UK at weekends spending wonga like water! Got any good ideas for escaping the rat race??? (P.S. I think your photo shop skills are certainly getting better - the way you managed to superimpose yourself and bike next to all those BIG N. American landscapes... and all the while you are really in a B&B in Worthing!). Keep it up. Vince

yo doris. pics a bit betta, well dun! looks to me that you are trying to rack up as menu free meals as u can - thats me boy...did u come over all pretentious in the vineyard per chance? all good here, and so much betta since it is not meant to be good weather anymore as it is officially winter....xxxx

Great pics - the seals are amazing! We will be in San Francisco in 2011 so will get some tips from you.
Love Julia

Hi Mark, Glad to hear that you are on your way again. We have just returned from Iceland & Norway. Sent a text to your mobile from Iceland I know it's daft but seemed as if we were closer to you there!. We had 50ft waves in Arctic Ocean but survived! Happy travelling. Love Julia & Chris xx

just guessing, but in the the tight world of markdom, can we assume you are going to get back the 2500 dollars + i am sure much more, from insurance, and are we meant to feel sorry for you, or do you want us to send in contributions to the post restante in puntos arenus. pics look a bit dull can you add a bit more colour in photoshop before you submit them, or possible clean the lense you blind git. no i am not in the least bit jealous of you ( mortgage, in-laws, aging mad parents, mad sister, paralysed dog, failing print business decaying property market no money, working like a little n boy . ps i saw charlie last nite, and he has had a terrible haircut.

Room for a small one on the back?! Had no idea you were doing something quite so unbelievable. Once the finger is mended, do you have to kill your supper with your own bare hands?! Keep safe. Fraser sends his best too. I have had to stop him going out to buy some leathers..... Sx

Hope the hand heals up quickly and you continue your journey south. Sounds like the journey so far has provided some great sights, they just keep getting better and better. $2500 has got to hurt!!!!

Cheers

Greg

Just to make you feel extra popular ... HELLO and WOW!!! It really does look and sound amazing, apart, obviously, from the broken finger and broken bank account to fix it. Keep us posted so we can turn an even deeper shade of green. LOL xxx

Hey Marky great to see your blog's up and running - it all sounds and looks fantastic. Funnily enough I saw a couple of mooses looking like they were on a shopping trip as well recently. Bummer about your finger. Must've been v painful (esp the cost). Hope it's on the mend now. Looking forward to next instalment.LOL Katexx
