Alison & Oliver Hi Sarah, photos look fab. Oliver told me about your visit. Really jealous of your trip to Machu Picchu - did you do the full trek? Hope you got a good sunrise to really get the best of it. Mind you don't get signed up as a miner in Bolivia! Enjoy the rest of your trip. A & O xx

Is it true that you have to bribe everybody to get anything? Time is shooting by and although you might not want it to end we are really looking forward to seeing you. Loads of Love, stay safe Stu XXXXXXX

Jane and Stu So glad you have decided to become a flag collector Tom. A very interesting hobby! The bus ride sounded disgusting but at least it is done and hopefully you are both still smiling. We really appreciate your news and cant believe you have been away for nearly 5 weeks! We are enjoying Cornwall and have managed some surfing and much to Oliver's disgust, done lots of walking. Sam back in UK tomorrow. Haven't heard from him at all. Surprise! Surprise! Love to you both.......keep writing Jane & Stu XXXXX
