But the sun is finally starting to shine in Sydney - even managed a bbq yesterday - so it's not all bad being left behind in Oz. Hope the rest of your trip goes well and have a safe journey home. Love you guys! xx p.s. Hope you're enjoying the buckets over there - there's NO DANGER I'd be drinking too many of them Em, might be a repeat of our ladies night fiasco in Melbourne! x |

| 31st August 2007 Mum and Dad S | Thailand here we come!!!! - From: Topping Up Our Tans In Tao! Wow (again!) you two have surpassed yourselves- what an absolutely beautiful, heavenly place you are in at the moment.

Stunning isn't the word for the beautiful sunsets (both of you have our vote!) We are all soooo pleased that you are spending the last few weeks of your fantastic adventure relaxing in such an amazing part of the world. Loads of love to you both - See you soon Mum, Dad, Andrew, Adam, Paws and Oscar xxxxxxxxxxx |

| 29th August 2007 Aunty Sue | Tigers - From: Beautiful But Bonkers Bangkok!! What fantastic animals, (the Tigers I mean). You two are just the perfect couple what an experience you've had, bet you can't believe it's all coming to an end. I must say I've had such a wonderful time reading all you blogs, Bangkok looks fantastic. I think you could both should write a book when you get back, bet the Grand Palace was stunning. I would have loved to join you both looking for bargains just my sort of day out. Not sure about the snakes Anthony and I can't believe you watched Newcastle playing football in Bangkok. The Bridge on the River Kwai must have been a real experience believe it or not my dad was there in the war Anthony I remember him telling me all about it. Well Anthony and Emma take care of yourselves and enjoy the rest of your trip looking forward to seeing you both when you get back. Lots of love Aunty Sue |
| 29th August 2007 Mum and Dad S | Gorgeous Trees in The Grand Palace - From: Beautiful But Bonkers Bangkok!! Forgot to mention that Dad says he taught the Gardners in the Grand Palace everything they know about shaping trees!! Now where have you heard that one before???? Speak to you soon Mum xxxxxx |
| 29th August 2007 Mum and Dad S | Were those tigers for real??!!!! - From: Beautiful But Bonkers Bangkok!! Unbelievable blogg - how fantastic must your visit to the Tiger Temple have been - were those tigers real/drugged or just really tame? Pictures were brilliant but when we tried to print them off the quality wasn't as good so we'll have to wait until you come home with the disc. (Can't believe you'll be home in a couple of weeks!!!!!!!!!) Your description of Bangkok was just as we imagined Bangkok to be - very colourful, very exciting and very, very busy. We spotted the NUFC shirt straight away - obviously they chose the best team shirt to wear as there wasn't a MUFC shirt in sight - sold out - I don't think!! lol....... The Bridge over the River Kwai was one of the classic films ever - it looks a lot narrower than in the film but how brilliant to see it. I think one word will sum up this blogg WOW!!!!!!!! Keep them going. Lots of love to you both Take care and stay together. Mum, Dad, Andrew, Adam, Paws and Oscar xxxxxxxxxx |

| 4th May 2007 Steph and John | City - From: Bris-Vegas...Apparently!! So glad you liked Brisbane, it really is a beautiful city and a lot of travellers don't bother to go there, perhaps they should?

| 4th May 2007 John Burnip | keep on bloging - From: Total Paridise......wow!... Hello from Coffs harbour - really enjoyed the Fraser blog- told you it was good there! from the sounds of it your alcohol intake has increased since you left us. As you know it is not something I have ever induldged in, oops my nose has got even bigger suddenly. We have visitors from Brisbane this weekend, no prizes for guessing who so will say hello for you. Sorry about the Man U game Ant. Love John and Steph. |

Seems like ages since we had a blogg? - just kidding - I know we speak on phone and text but its lovely to get a blogg. Hope your journey to Rainbow Bay/Beach was ok and you met up with your friends. Everyone is ok at home and as you know Adam is into his fifth week at work and seems to like it..... Emma, we went to a dancing competition on Saturday night and Darren and Lilia from Strictly Dancing did a latin demonstration - which was brilliant - We are going to another dancing competition in June to see Vincent and his partner from Strictly Dancing - I know Anthony, how sad is that!!! Anyway we are going to try and obtain tickets for one of the TV live performances when it starts again and will book you and Anthony (cos he likes it really, lol). Going out for our re-arranged steak night tonight, no doubt the crazy couple will be the topic of the conversation all night. Take care of yourselves - speak to you soon.

Hi Guys, glad to see you at least enjoyed the experience at Byron even though you say it was a bit too laid back for you. We really enjoyed our stays there, but I suppose we are a couple of old hippies at heart. I am more than sure you will be very comfortable at Peter and Louises, they are very good hosts. Next stop Rainbow beach? PS. Has Ant's diving qualification arrived yet? I sent it a few days ago. Cheers John and Steph |

Brilliant photos and great to see how well you all look out there. There must be something in the water, and actually there was - Emma, a huge surprise after Hawaii, you little tinker, just think of what you were missing when you wouldn't take any notice of your parents!! Glad you had such a great time with John & Steph, they looked really well too, you were very lucky they looked after/ spoilt you so much - also mentioned by Ants Mam in Asda tonight when we saw her.

When you get home looking forward to Scuba diving with you and Emma showing us how to 'tickle' trout!! The pictures are fantastic - particularly the under water shots!! How sad is the last supper picture - we bet you are really going to miss John and Steph. By the time you receive this you will be up in Byron, theme camping with your friends. Whoever heard of camping in a double decker bus......... did Cliff Richard visit Australia on his Summer Holidays??!!!! You'll find camping at Park Foot a bit boring after this...............lol. Take care of yourselves and keep blogging..............Lots of love, Mum, Dad, Andrew, Adam, Paws and Oscar xxxxxxx |

We feel like we are living the Australian life with you - well apart from the living like students bit, the living on noodles bit and the drinking jugs of lager with hot dogs bit!!!!! Anyway, everything sounds absolutely fantastic - you seem to have visited lots of interesting places in such a short period of time (is it only 22 days, 6 hours, 18 minutes and 30 seconds since you left the UK? - NOT THAT WE ARE COUNTING.......lol. The pictures are just brilliant , Gran will love the Blue Mountain waterfall scene which we think will end up in a frame - you just know how she loves her views and the bears seem to be enjoying their tub just as much as you two do.... Mind you the Crazy Couple seem to be getting Crazier - or was that just the St. Patricks Day fever taking hold!!!! The tans are looking good though - keep using the factor 50..........Hope your journey to John and Steph's house goes well - Speak to you soon Love to you both - Mum, Dad, Andrew, Adam, Paws and Oscar |

Bet your jealous of our snow!!!!! We all know you would have loved to have made snow angels instead of lying on some white powdered beach looking up at fantastic blue skies - that's the price you pay for leaving the UK. Take lots of care of yourselves and have even more fun. Poppy xxxxx |
| 21st March 2007 Sash | I'm not jealous. Not one little bit. Honestly. - From: BIG NEWS! Emma, Ant, I've just got to tell you that this is the first chance I've had to log on to your blog (so to speak!) and I am extremely jealous (yes, so much for the title of this comment!). It's a Wednesday, I'm at work, and it's been bloody snowing in England. I hope this makes you both feel even better! Sounds (and looks!) like you're both having such a fab time! Your itinary sounds great - Paul did a lot of that route and keeps banging on about it now and it's two years later! You'll end up meeting loads more fun people doing it all via bus too! Keep having the most amazing time and putting photos up for us unlucky folk back in dull England! xxx |
