| 2nd March 2009 jonathanandzara | The end - From: And now, the end is near, and so we face the final curtain!! My wife and I are planning an RTW trip similar to yours starting this June. I cannot even imagine what it'll be like for it to end. It looks like you two had some amazing experiences and I'm sure you'll travel again. Please write a few more blogs about going back to so called "real" world. |
| 25th February 2009 Dad Walton | Last Comment on an Epic Journey - From: One last treat...! Thought I'd add a last comment, why the hell not. A guy called Euripides once said, "It is a good thing to be rich and a good thing to be strong, but it is a better thing to be beloved of many friends"........ Nic & Budger, they're all waiting for you when you get back. The Old Man of Offley |
| 23rd February 2009 dad walton | Chilling out , again! - From: Relax time and cheap wine!!! Listen up people, make sure you paint the town red when you get to Rio. No quarter, no prisoners, have a terrific time. See you friday, can't wait. Much love from the old man. |
| 17th February 2009 dad walton | Hair today, gone tomorrow - From: Thatīs what I call a shower Hello Budger, Is that really my boy in the photos? With a cursary glance or a purfunctuary butchers, I thought it was a Yetti or at the very least, a wild man of Borneo! Mind you, either one of them would look far more human than you do. They won't let you back in the country Dan! Don't bother trying, your passport photo will be invalid! No resemblence, suppose I'd better prepare the UK consulate out there to expect a problem with a certain young traveller, when he tries to get home! I'll get a de-contamination area ready, outside in the garden and order a sheep shearer in case you do get back! Wonder how long it will take to get you house trained! The Falls look incredible, bet you had a blast out there, not surprised you both got soaked. Stay lucky, people, much love from the Old Man. Blimey O'reilly, you two really have been away far too long! |

| 9th February 2009 dad walton | How many folks get to do what you've done! - From: Peru Capital Hello people, Don't look so sad, ain't seen you really smiling for a blog or two. Coming home ain't that bad, is it? Just think of what you've both done, it's an incredible journey, and you've done it all by yourselves. Well done, we're all very proud of you. Monumental achievement, I really mean that, and you should be very proud too. I know it's coming to an end in a few weeks, but the memories you're going to have are unforgetable, they will last a lifetime. Love you lots, Dad |
| 6th February 2009 golfkat | Brings Back Memories - From: Breath taking.........Quite literally Thanks for the story, as it reminds us of our trip there. We had a bunch of women from Spain on our train. On the way back, one of them expelled some serous gas. So as the staff was modeling the alpaca sweaters, I was furiously fanning us with a magazine. Everyone behind us was laughing until the stench reached them. We finally moved, but the Spanish lady acted like nothing was wrong. |
| 6th February 2009 Ry | - From: Breath taking.........Quite literally Wow, the pictures even took my breath away!! Looks amazing. Looking forward to seeing you soon!! |
| 2nd February 2009 Nessynoos | ha Ha - From: Long journey for our last stop in Bolivia! Dan, you look like a budha sitting there with your hair and that |
| 1st February 2009 Dad Walton | I'm coming home, I've done my time! - From: Floating on Lake Titicaca Listen up people. February is here already, hell, have you really been away for eleven months! Still, plenty of time to squeeze in one more four week holiday, you lucky buggars! Snowing here by the way! Can't wait to see you both, take it to the limit for the next few weeks, enjoy yourselves. Be bold, be bold, be extremely bold, but keep away from them damn snake like creatures in Inca territory and watch out for the head shrinkers! They sure as hell know how to creep up on you! Canabalism is still pretty rife out there, don't you know! Keep an eye out for Indiana Jones. Adios for now, Dad |
| 26th January 2009 Mum Walton | Salt Lakes - From: Salt anyone? Wow, they are gigantic salt plains, absolutely amazing. You two are really getting into the photography!! Dan, you are starting to look like a Spaniard, must be in your blood!! |
| 25th January 2009 Dad Walton | Cactus Dan & Navaho Nic - From: Get down off your horse, and drink your milk!! 'bout time you both did something interesting, must be at least three days since your last jolly! Nic, Budger can shoot, and shoot damn well, reckon that when he gets back, he'll be far better than me. But don't tell him that! We don't wan't any competition 'tween father & son, do we! Beaters' day on friday Budge, I'll take a few birds down for you. What do you fancy, Pheasant, Partridge or maybe a Woodcock or two! The guys at the shooting club are looking forward to seeing you again. You both sit a saddle well, scenery looks absolutely magnificent, bet you had the time of your lives. I'm very envious, I haven't been riding for many years. Hope they equiped you with a .45 to shoot them pesky rattlers! Have a terrific time, but listen up people; "Let's be careful out there" Lots of love from the Old Man. |
| 19th January 2009 Dad Walton | Butch & Sundance - From: Cultural heart of Chile Bolivia - Sounds tres romantique, don't you know! That's where Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid met their maker. So, don't go robbing any banks, them local yokels don't take too kindly to that sort of thing! Keep the pics coming people, lovely to see what mischief your getting up to. "A picture is a poem without words" That's Horace, just by the way! (He was a well known poet, quite some time ago, so I believe)! Much love from the Old Man of Offley. |
| 13th January 2009 Dad Walton | Goodbye New Zealand, Hello South America - From: Windy Wellie!! Hello Nic & Budger, Reckon you folks are in the Americas, by the time you read this. Damn sure the flight went well and you're now sipping your Pina Coladas! Bad news for you, but can't wait to see you both at the end of next month. Enjoy and savour every momment. Whilst there, a few words of Walton wisdom "Do to the other man, as the other man would do to you, only do it first"! Be good, people, have fun. Adios, love from the Old Man. |

| 8th January 2009 Dad Walton | Happy New Year, Globetrotters - From: Whales and wonderful skies! Time do fly, people. South America beckons, then before you know it, back to old Blightly. But, hey, look on the brightside, the glass ain't threequarters empty, but one, full quarter, full. Your'e going to have a terrific time over the next couple of months, just stay well clear of them pesky drug runners and revolting revolutionaries! Don't go getting yourselves kidnapped! There just ain't no place like home, hell, you can do it all again in a year or two! Budger, I'm offering you a compliment, you're starting to look like a young Kurt Russell, (remember, Escape from New York and his character, Snake Pliskin), long hair suits you, pretty damn fine. Stay safe and have a whole lotta fun, love from the old Man. |

Happy New Year! and Happy Birthday to you Dan for the 4th, what devlish adventure have you decided for that day ?? My Dan is very jealous about your plane jump he keeps trying to encourage me to do it, but I don't have the same bottle as you, Nic you have nerves of steel and I think a bit of an adrenaline junkie.

I'll take you there when you get back from Down Under. Be a real treat for ya! Budger, buy yourself some decent hiking boots for Gawd's sake, don't wear bloody flip flops in the Bush, course the snakes are going to slither about a bit under foot, that's what they bloody do, and they bite people!

Australia's huge, gotta be something there that rattles your cage, presses the buttons! As long as you don't go swimming with any more of them damn shark like creatures! Go and play with a few crocs, for a change! You could have done a bit of sheep shearing out and around Ayres Rock, picked a few grapes down in sunny Perth, watch the grass grow in the dessert , bugger it, you're better off in New Zealand! Get out of there! NZ will be just fine and dandy, I'm sure, hope you'll have a whale of a time out there. Have fun people, LOL from Old Man Walton |

| 3rd December 2008 Dad Walton | I told you to swim with bloody dolphins, not bloomin' sharks! - From: More shark tales!!! Listen up people, since when did the word dolphin sound like shark! Sharks eat folks, don't you know? Holy cow, look at the size of them molars! You know why there arn't many tourists around, ruddy sharks ate them. Watch out for the Salties as well. Love from the Old Man. |

A nice big piece of rib of beef, with some lovely home-made yorkshire puds and lots of veggies!!! Lots of love Mum xxx |
| 26th November 2008 sam pugh | - From: Chilling in the Treehouse hi guys, have you seen a cassowary yet? I did when i was there and i can confirm it had claws big enough to kill a man. Then it opened its mouth and roared like a lion, it was a total shock, a bird making that noise. The fence between me and the bird was quite small so i legged it! Keep an eye out for one!!! |

| 21st November 2008 Stew | Tigers - From: Sing-a-Phwwwaa it's expensive here!! Bad news about the Zoo guys, although it could have been worse, just think how the poor caretaker felt! There's a programme on Sky1 at the minute called 'Lion Man' and its about this bloke who tames and bonds with all the 'big cats'. He's got Lions, Tigers, White Tigers, Cheetahs and everything there. It's called Zion Wildlife Gardens and it's in Whangarei, Northland, New Zealand - maybe worth having a look if you end up out that way. Take it easy. |
| 20th November 2008 Dad Walton | Eye of the tiger - From: Sing-a-Phwwwaa it's expensive here!! Bad luck folks, so sorry. Hope Oz will have quite a few nice surprises for you. Have a great trip, look forward to hearing from you again very soon. Watch out for them crocodiles, especially the Salties. Most importantly, keep an eye of the tiger out for them big bad Great Whites when diving! They sure can creep up on you, you hear! Don't worry too much about the bugs, but them snakes are real buggars! Love from the old man. |
| 19th November 2008 john dad | zoo - From: Sing-a-Phwwwaa it's expensive here!! Hi hope you are well and got to OZ OK. BECAREFULL WITH ALL THOSE DEADLY CREATURES THERE.
