Jo!!!! Can't believe you're somewhere in the Amazon! I bet it's amazing!
I'll be here on Gran Canaria (sounds SO not exotic in comparison!) ready to translate any Spanish for you if you need me! I might be able to pull off some portuguese too, if required! hehe
HAVE FUN!
PS. dont forget to pack a couple of brazilians into your suitcase!
PS. you better have some good stories when you get back, to liven up lectures next year!

I knew you were having far too much fun! Come back to England now and be miserable!!!! Terracotta warriors you lucky thing! My inner history nerd is eternally jealous! Same old same old back home, really wish you were here so I could drag you off to Starbucks for a mochafrappucino rant about the crapness of uni accomodation offices, the student loans people and working all night Hardcore events at the Academy...getting covered in Chav spit was just one of the highlights of the evening! But still its one step closer to becoming the band groupie I've always wanted to be and now I get VIP at Brixton.....so you'll just have to come back home and be my plus one!
Miss you like I haven't seen you in nine months.....(!?!?)
Jo

Rys,

BUGS UP DATE: Over the weekend i was on hamster sitting duty and I must admit he's just like a child. Grumpy when you wake him up yet very cute, s***s everywhere, grabs a chocolate risen without saying thank you and when you take your eyes away just for 20 seconds then BAM......gone for 15 minutes!!! Rest assured both of us were knackered and had a good workout afterwards!!! Both of us send our love and look forward to seeing you soon. Enjoy South America xxx

I'm kinda hogging your message board. Can you tell that I'm just a little excited. Have you heard about the volcano erupting in Ecuador?!

Booked Hostal Jhomana (www.jhomana.com) for Sat 26th and Sun 27th. Have triple with ensuite £6.44 per person per night. Hope that's ok. Paid deposit of only £4 so can change/cancel up to 48hrs before arrival.

I'll stop sending you messages now. Just excited!

Forgot to say, if there's anything you want me to bring out let me know.

Also, just in case I'm not waiting for you in arrivals, I'm on flight IB6635 from Madrid landing in Quito at 16.15. I'm slightly concerned about my flight from Heathrow to Madrid (IB3161) with all the recent chaos. I've got your flight details. Have you got your mobiles?

Hullo Annie
I hope you and rys are well.and still enjoying the experience. I have been watching the news,so I hope you havnt been affected by the Typhoons! It hass been very dry here so we could do with some of the rain! Your pictures are very interesting.

take care Grandadxxxx

Hola! (I'm practicing you see). 10 days to go! I think we should book a hostel now for when we arrive in Quito especially as you guys are arriving quite late. I've been looking online and they seem to be getting booked up fairly quick. The best one is only available saturday night not sunday or monday. Shall I book it for one night or book another one for more nights? Here's the link http://www.hostels.com/en/findabed.php?ChosenCity=Quito&ChosenCountry=Ecuador
It's US$12 per person per night. Let me know what you wanna do. I can't wait to see you guys. It's gonna be awesome. The dreams have started now!

Hi Rys (and Annie)!

I am loving all the photos of you both ( & froggie) - brightens up my day while I sit at my desk pretending to work ;-) I am very envious of your experiences!

Keep the photos coming, take care, miss you - Laura x
