sarah hey evrybody .... i just looked at the pics (even though i allready saw them in the camera !) anyway... they're all nice especially the ones with the koala , hheheh he's soooooooo CUTE ! i am having a lot of fun here in HONG KONG , they are very good to barter with , yesterday we went to the JADE market and dad and this lady were bartering over something and they werent even talking they were just putting numbers in the calculator !!!!!!!! at the end they finished and we got a reasonable price (not exactly!) i have to go now coz we might go and see panda's ! bye love u all ! byeee xxxxxxx

mummy Brett, as far as camera is concerned, we discussed this over the phone. now we have to repack and hope we don't get hit wih extra baggage excess. we were lucky in sydney they let us off, l did the meschina act...."oh well that's what happens when you buy presents for everyone.!! " now we are at the mercy of he British Airways guys here in HK we shall see. It is a late flight we are on at 23.15 we will kill time n HK until then. The thing is that we were over with our luggage at the very beginning with packing for two seasons, is not as if we bought a lot of stuff, the usual books and small things. HK absolutely great, next time we shall fly over with empty suitcases and fill them up here , shopping is until 23,00 hrs and the shopping malls are to die for, everything real cheap...clothing wise of course, the labels that we are all used to, are manufactured here and there is no tax what so ever and no duty so they can afford to keep the prices rock bottom. must come . went to the jade market yesterday.. interesting today if we can see pandas at ocean park ..let u know plus pics...love to all

Today we met up with Judith, talk about being youthful at 73 yo unbelievable would be nice to see her again!! May be tonight we shall see Rosetta for drinks here at the hotel, but is yet to be confirmed. We also spent sometime at the Acquarium and back on the ferry to Circular Quay. It has been lovely, perhaps a little short, so we have decided to get back here next year!! All our love to all tomorrow we fly to Hong Kong it will be a 9 hrs flight catch up with you later on. Bacioni lots of kisses mum sarah and Simon

Ci mancate tanto ci vediamo fra un pò di gioprni ciao sarah la nonna ti pensa e anche il nonno vi auguriamo un felice ritorno e poi lalla pirrera pirera!!!!!!! Baci i nonni e i cani xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Brett hello! Nice and sunny here, did you manage to get out today? Did u buy a new computer as well as a camera? Just about to start my studyin for the day after I've taken Ditsy out. She's busy chucking a chicken around the room. We would like to see more pictures of the Croggs rather than just landmarks! Although we did really like Mum's arty farty out of focus shots! (We presume they were deliberate!) Baby fish have got big. Will nip and see nonni today. By the way, when and where do you land? For Simon Polipo said that he's not prepared to do the work in your garage but he's willing to come and pick it up with a carroatrezzi. What woud you like me to do? We're sure the 4wd trip wasn't as good as it sounded anyway! Anyway, a trip wouldn't be a trip without a visit from the Croggs to the hospital (me; Lymington, Rapallo: Simon; Lymington: Mum; Lymington and so on!) Therefore it was now Sarah's turn! No big deal, she's just picked somewhere a bit more exotic! (Is England not good enough for you Kelly?!) Lots of love. Us xxxxxx

Bruce Guess who???? I see you have been getting around, up and down, on and off and in and out, especially bogs. Hope the weather has been better than here, as it is very strange, every day a different story. Just had a flick through the pics, which are not too bad. I guess it took a while to learn how to upload things. So, for those who have not been to the ex-penal colony, what do the current inmates think of the place and what does the escaped convict think of her return to her old haunts????? I know the food is good, as are the beaches and the people in general, really laid back, as life should be. I won't even mention the scenery, which is absolutely fantastic and you're not even seeing the best bits. I have been a bit busy as you can imagine, hitting the hospital every day. Vale is doing much better and the twins are not suffering in any way whatsoever. Her blood pressure seems to be coming under control although her legs are still swollen. One of the girls now weighs approx. 1,250gms and the other approx. 1,450 grams. Brett and Julie visited yesterday. I'm pretty sure the girls will not be out before you get back as they are now talking about reaching the 34th week and not the 32nd week, which Vale has just entered, which is so much better for the girls. Mum and Dad really enjoyed seeing you and meeting Sarah for the first time. Hope you enjoy the rest of your trip and said hullo to the old cons in Melbourne from me. I guess you didn't get to Mornington or Hanging Rock after all, but isn't that what friends are for, to interfere with your trip. All the best and see you soon. Bruce

mummy well once again we got up at 10,00 missed every breakfast so far n jusgt go for lunch sarny and dinner if we are lucky.... yesterday was a total waste, but sarah at least was seen my a doctor at the medical centre afgter having had a shot tablets and parted with 150 dolls she spent her time in bed and us, room bound, JUST AS WELL WE HAVE A ROOM WITH A VIEW over the sydney opera house and circular quay we see tghe ferries busy in and out. Simon becomes even more noddyish when either of us is sick, he simply can't cope and goes beserk..Also as dinner the night before was quite a lot and god knows how Sarah gotg sick as I had the same as her, but then again the doc said "that every prawn is temperamental and with a mind of its own and probably attacked sarah to revenge!!" We shall try to go out this morning and see what the day brings. We are hoping to squash a lot of things in, but forget the blue mountains on a 4wd that had to be cancelled. oh well I am been rushed so farewell catch you later. great computer and camera...eat your heart out !! love you lots and doggies as well more pics to come meschina.........!

Jules Talk about famine and feast! How many pictures did you post??!! We have had to look at them in shifts! We are saving some until 2mo cos there's only so much fun you can have in 1 night! Really though, we were impressed with the piccies Simon, it's amazing what a fancy new camera can do! (Brett was a little concerned that someone was stalking Sarah, Trish and Barbie in the woods when they went for the picnic! All those distance shots were a bit creepy!!) How's the sicko? Any sign of what it is yet? If it's food poisoning we sympathise BIG TIME!! Who can ever forget Trish demanding that we leave the flat in Milan to allow some time to air it from the aroma of 'food poisoning'!!! Keep us posted. Went to see the nonni 2nite, fear not Trish, all of your silver is sparkling! They are fine, as is Clicket. We had an extra doggy for the morning 2day. Daniela's German Shepherd because her sister was getting married and they didn't think that the photographer's blood would look good on her dress! (the dog is a bit crazy and has a penchant for attacking strangers!). Our little Ditsy was a little (read lot) jealous but she refrained from actual bodily harm! Brett thinks that this is confirmation that another dog is the only step forward from here on in: cue drip treatment! The wedding was nice, very different from English weddings, not a drunken best man in sight! Miss you all, glad you're having fun! By the way, I bought my spring/ summer wardrobe 2day at my favourite boutique! (2euro!) Lots of love. Jules, Brett & Ditsy Dog.

Simon Go to "Photoalbums", click on image & wait..... , click each image for caption, then "next" to scroll through all pictures. Note that there are multiple albums (Oz1, Oz2 etc..)

Simon Here are our photos to date. Will be captioned today or tomorrow. We`re now in Sydney. Had a fish dinner last night since when Sarah has been worshipping the big white porcelain chief repeatedly. Off now to Bondi beach to see the surf chicks.

mummy nice to hear all is well, the wind and sun here has been really great....tomorrow we r off to the Rocks in Sydney for 5 days. We seem to be accumulating more luggage. Last night we went for a show whilst the comedy festival is on, they know how to have fun here and not just work work work.... Simon could do it, but he finds this far too far ....from the real world! all our love the croggs
