| 28th June 2007 John | Sports Day - From: Salvador Hi Guys, I hope you are both well. just a quick note to update you on Sports Day. Soph won the ' Bean bag Pick Up ' but lost out in the Sprint, she was a little distracted. Harry was fantastic and won the 100, 200 and came from behind as the last runner in the Relay to win for his House. He missed out on the School record for the 100 set in 1979 by point one of a second. I'm not too sure where he gets it from ? A full head of blond hair, blue eyes and fast !!! Ummmmmmmmmmmmm. Take care of each other. All my love John xx |
| 14th June 2007 Paul, Monica & family | Congratulations - From: We´re engaged!!!! The Inca Trail Many congratulations to both of you on your engagement. I don't know how many people can read these comments so I will keep them polite. Dan you are a very lucky man and also a very clever one. Tiring Dani out on the trek and making her disorientated with altitude sickness so that she didn't know what she was saying was a master stroke. Love to you both. |

Was massively relieved when Dani said yes and started crying, I half expected her just to tell me to get up off the floor and to stop making a fool of myself!

| 1st June 2007 Tracey L. | Amazing pix - From: Galapagos Your pictures are fantastic. I especially love the ones of the yellow warblers. Since returning home I have seen about 15 painted turtles.

| 28th May 2007 Dan and Dani | Charming as ever! - From: Cancun 5th - 9th April We generally take it in turns to wite the blog, though Disney was Dani´s specialit subject and so she did that one. I usually do the nature stuff! Hows things? |

Take care. Dan and Dani XX |
| 16th May 2007 Dan and Dani | Hey P&T!!! - From: Costa Rica - Bahia Drake 17th - 24th April Glad your enjoying the blog. Beard wasn´t intentional, clippers didn´t work and so it took over a bit! Back under control now though! Rusty you cheeky bugger! You should get some chickens to sort him out (check out MSN videos). From what my folks tell me the girls are ok, just sulking a bit. Looking forward to catching up with you guys too, a think a trip to the Barley Mow is in order! Take care. D&D. ps we didn´t get the text unfortunately |
| 16th May 2007 Dan and Dani | Hi Guys - From: Costa Rica - Cahuita 9th - 17th April Great to hear from you! Bites have subsided at last but I´m sure it won´t be long before we pick up a few more. No suprise in the cricket! You guys just can´t help winning. Would be nice if you could spread the good fortune around a bit! We´re about to embark on a disastrous test series against the windies. Hope your´re all keeping well and good luck with your exams Felicity. Take care. Dan and Dani |

| 3rd May 2007 Phil and Tracey | Yippee! - From: Costa Rica - Bahia Drake 17th - 24th April Hi to the Double D's! We feel like we've just travelled the world over the past hour as we caught up on your travels... sounds and looks like you've been to some great places, had amazing experiences and met some lovely people along the way. Dan - liking the rugged castaway look you now have... is this the latest fashion? Can't wait to see those photos of your tatoos! Phil Dani - looking very glam and brown, your a natural. Rusty is really missing the gals (how r they?) to our dismay after no escaping so far this year rusty was found in the garden behind us, being a bit too over friendly with whiskers the boy rabbit, the little girl was traumatised she thought he was killing him! naughty boy, now after being grounded for a wk he seems to have learnt his lesson! Love to u both, really missing u can't wait to c u, can't believe its May! Take care, T&P&R p.s. Thanks for the Easter text - much appreciated... did you get ours back? cool it works. |
| 28th April 2007 Mark & Belinda Dess | One bite would have been enough for us - From: Costa Rica - Cahuita 9th - 17th April Who was it who said - "only mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun". Substitute your experience for midday sun and it would be close to the mark. You're certainly getting about. The photos are great. Hope you've recovered from the bites. World Cup Final tonight - at least you're near the West Indies - doubt there'll be live coverage where you are. All the best. Mark, Belinda, Felicity and Lucinda Dess |
| 26th April 2007 Colin | Turtle Project - From: Costa Rica - Cahuita 9th - 17th April Well done for sticking the week at the project. Think we would hae left once we saw the shed. Good for you Dan, maybe your comments will encourage them to improve the protection. |
| 26th April 2007 Colin | A small confession - From: Tullum - Sian Kaan (2nd-5th April) It seems Dani has been in the sun too long that she is confused or is it the local hooch. |
| 26th April 2007 Dan and Dani | A small confession - From: Tullum - Sian Kaan (2nd-5th April) Dani being the simple sole that she is got things a bit mixed up. In fact it was she that took the photos of the birds, I can only claim credit for the Yucatan Jay. She went mental when she realised what she´d done, not that shes possessive of her photos or anything! |
| 19th April 2007 Dan and Dani | Re: Photos - From: Tullum - Sian Kaan (2nd-5th April) I have to be honest here as Dan actually took the bird pictures on this blog entry (with my camera though), so I can´t accept the credit! A couple of the sunset ones were also his...he´s not as useless as he looks! |
| 19th April 2007 Dan and Dani | Good to hear from you! - From: Puerto Escondido (28th - 30th March) Hi Grandma, Glad you´re enjoying the blog. In Costa Rica at the mo, which is amazing for birds. Will be in touch soon. Love Dan and Dani |
| 18th April 2007 Dad | Photos - From: Tullum - Sian Kaan (2nd-5th April) Great bird shots Dani plus amazing sunsets. No contribution from the close-up king recently? |
| 18th April 2007 Dan and Dani | Muscle man - From: Palenque (31st March - 1st April) Good to hear from old boy. You´re comments were truly touching. You´ll be pleased to hear that the swelling from the tatoo´s has resided and they look pretty good (photo´s to follow). Wouldn´t dream of delving into what may have happened on that infamous afternoon when you disappeared for several hours to the `beach with no name´with our delightful friend Andi. When the time is good and right, i´m sure all will be revealed. Thanks for taking the time to pollute our blog with your `verbal diaherra´it is most welcome and was much enjoyed....didn´t realise aussies were capable of such wit. Anyhow, enough for now. Hope you´re keeping well and we look forward to hearing from you. Take Care Dani and Dan |
| 18th April 2007 Dan and Dani | The shaven one - From: Puerto Escondido (28th - 30th March) Cheers Simon. Could do with some support after Scottie´s onslaught! He had our folks worried for a bit then. Hope things are going well for you guys and we´ll definitely be in touch when we get back. Been in the Costa Rican Jungle for the last week so apologies for the delayed reply. Take Care Dan and Dani |
| 13th April 2007 simon | to the double d's - From: Puerto Escondido (28th - 30th March) keep on trucking. we will watch your space with love and respect. call me when you get back and don't worry aout scott and his made up stuff cos we all know he shaves his legs and aspires to be accepted by people who dont. god love him. |
| 13th April 2007 simon | Agree - From: Palenque (31st March - 1st April) Listen fellow travellers, I know the truth. Watch this space for an expose on scott he muscle man in the coming days and the tale of how scott went to the point with a orabge german and came back bow legged. dont worry dan and danny I will defend your honour against our most beautiful and twisted friend. Miss you all and will keep in touch..............x Scott, don't tempt me, I'm published, you are smooth, but i am rough and i am better. |
| 8th April 2007 mary free | Thanks - From: Puerto Escondido (28th - 30th March) I look forward to your travelblog - the pictures are stunning - thank you so much for your phone call today - I was having one of your Mum's wonderful lunches - Alfie was such fun. Love, Grandma. |
| 7th April 2007 Scott | Reassurance from an eyewitness.. - From: Palenque (31st March - 1st April) Considering the Double D posse (Mmmm.. double D's), Dan & Danni, afforded me an honourable mention in previous blogs, I thought I would recipricate with some impartial foreign correspondance. Family, friends, loved ones and random blog readers can be rest assured that the Double D (as they are affectionately known in Mexico) world tour is all going to plan and the party remains in high spirits and in good health. I understand that Dan has recently had his fourth tattoo inked in as many weeks (I'm some what surprised that illustrations of these works of art have not featured on the blog), and not to be outdone; Danni has been quite adventurous with some unusual body piercings while in Mexico. (Dan insists that these fetishes have nothing to do with their modest upbringing). In the short time that I spent with Dan and Danni, I found them to be very humble, responsible and sincere people (this post is starting to get the feel of a best man's speach at a wedding ... and so I will commence ridiculing the groom). Danni is clearly the brains of the operation and had it not been for the matter that lies between her ears, Dan could well be sitting (rather gingerly) in the Bangkok Hilton right about now, or floating face down in the Ganghis (bearing in mind I'm Australian, please excuse any typographical errors). Whilst admiring the sun decend into the horizon at Puerto Escondido, I pulled Dan aside for a little hombre to hombre chin wag over a refreshing cerveza. I wanted to voice my concern over his complacancy and the possible ramifications that may arise from it in coming weeks / months. Central america can at times, be an uninviting territory for the naive & faint hearted . Dan's schizophrenia, possibly the result of a bad Kashmiri mushroom, always seems to kick in at the most inconvenient times, and just I was about to make my point, he started resighting Macbeth in fluent Spanish prior to picking up a piece of driftwood and belting the crap out of me as if I were a candy filled panada. Despite my bold athletic frame, not unlike some sort of mythological greek god, I was forced to flee north to Acapulco to escape the wrath of Dan. Nonetheless, it was a pleasure to cross paths with these affable ornithologists, and I wish them all the best in their intripid footsteps. Guys ... Enjoy. When time permits I will continue to pollute your blog with my verbal diaherra. I encourage others to do similar. Take it from me; after you've spent your last 3 days sharing a bus with farm animals and natives who haven't showered in 2 weeks; receiving an email from friends / family makes it all seem worthwhile somehow. |
| 20th March 2007 Aman | Nice Pix !!!! - From: Kanha 20th-25th Jan Those are very beautiful pics of the Tiger.. Enjoyed reading your story.. I have also uploaded some pictures and videos on my blog.. Will be adding the photos from my trip to Kanha National Park very soon.. www.tigersinindia.blogspot.com Regards.. Aman.. |
| 18th March 2007 Dad | I'm on my way to that Lake!! - From: Chiang Mai (13th - 17th March) So, how do I go about getting a season ticket for this place? Excellent blog update D's - brilliant photos as ever (particularly those fish!!) |
| 15th March 2007 Ma | Balloon - From: Siem Reap (7th-9th March) No wonder Dad said there was a blog for me to read LATER. |
| 15th March 2007 Ma and Pa | Balloon - From: Siem Reap (7th-9th March) Balloon, What Balloon? You didn't say anything today about a balloon. |
| 12th March 2007 John | Sophie's Birthday - From: Krabi (26th Feb - 5th March) Hi Guys. Thank you so much for your txt to Soph. it meant the world to her to have a txt from the two of you from Thailand. We had a wonderful day and went to see Mary Poppins in the West End, which S loved. H & S always log onto you and love the photo's. Love to you both from all of us. John XX |
| 12th March 2007 John | ' An evenings entertainment ' - From: Krabi (26th Feb - 5th March) Who invited the village idiot on the left ? |
| 12th March 2007 John | Bless Him - From: Krabi (26th Feb - 5th March) It's not right at his age, is it ? Andy, I'm sorry to see you got stung !!!! Di, know what I mean ??????? D&D keep up the fantastic dialogue & photo's. Love to you both. John XXX |
| 9th March 2007 Papa Free | Krabi - From: Krabi (26th Feb - 5th March) Hi D&D, Just arrived home and it was really good to read your latest entry. It was great to meet up with you both and thanks for hanging around with us old folks for the week - we thoroughly enjoyed it! After you'd gone the other guests kept asking where you'd both got to and still kept pointing out various wildlife to us, including a snake eating a bird on the top lawns! It was hard for us too when you both left but just knowing that you can look after each other (well, pretty much the case!) made it a little easier. Take care and love to you both |
