| 29th October 2007 Amy Brown | - From: Last days in San Pedro I'm a bit confused...the date on your blog entry says August 12th. That was ages ago! Are you back in Blighty and backdating your posts or are you still updating from lands far away? Hope you are both well XX |

| 17th October 2007 Martyn | Gritty realism... - From: Antiplano Antics Oh, that sand can't be good in all the nooks and crannies. And believe me, the crannies are the worst... |
| 1st October 2007 Jenny | Near the end - From: There be gold in them there hills!! Well you two you're nearing the end of your amazing trip. Take care of all those weird animals in the Galapagos Islands won't you. Granny's really worried as she saw a documentary about the islands on TV recently!! She said that's one place she wouldn't like to go for sure! Have a great finale anyway and look forward to seeing you when you're back in England. |

| 22nd September 2007 Nigel | Kho Tao - From: The shark infested waters of Kho Tao I went to Kho Tao in 1999 and it was the most wonderful week of my life. The Scuba diving was amazing with Big Blue, we dived the Japanese gardens which was really cool. To be in a place so cutoff in this crazy fast paced world was absolutely amazing. The tranquility was to die for. i ahve returned to Thailnd many ties since then but never quite made it back to Kho Tao, but I will! |
| 23rd August 2007 beryl | photos - From: Te Nikau Nostalgia Amazing photos with great angle uve shot from. Brilliant. |
| 12th August 2007 Martyn | Blog - From: Conservation comment I see that the blog is finally coming back together. The 404 error I got last week was a shock, I knew it would spell disaster! Fortunately the caches everywhere are coughing up content, slowly but surely. |
| 12th August 2007 Martyn | Magnetic termites - From: Luscious Litchfield Hey, has anyone bothered to check whether the termite mounds point magnetic north-south or true north-south? Or is it so approximate you can't tell? You are right with the Darwinian natural selection explanation about their behaviour, though. For instance, if your dad was dumb enough to get himself killed before he passed on his genes to the next generation, then it's likely you will too. Oh, hang on... |
| 12th August 2007 Martyn | Email - From: Aotearoa Land of the Long White Cloud Hey, you guys, your Yahoo email isn't working. Doh! |
| 30th July 2007 Granny | Fantastic! - From: Slick Sydney What amazing adventures you have had in Oz. Seeing pictures of places whose names have been familiar for years is wonderful. What an education you are having & so nice for you to meet up with so many friendly people, who have shown you hospitality. I envy you your visit to N.Z. & look forward to hearing all about that wonderful country. Lots of Love, Granny xxx |
| 28th July 2007 Jenny | Beautiful Birds - From: Mad Mac What amazing birds - your Dad would have a field day their Lexa! A bit brighter than the garden birds around here. Looking forward to our hol with your mum & dad - coming soon hooray!! Love Jenny & Paul xx |
| 7th July 2007 Jenny | Can't imagine the heat! - From: Into the red - Karijini National Park What incredible scenery & you can almost see the heat in the photos. Loved the look of that circular pool, must have been so refreshing. Shame about the flies though! Wish it would warm up here a bit. Off to France on Monday with 48 year 5 children, and Paul! Should be fun!! |
| 28th June 2007 chichi | Bonjour ! - From: Boulders and blue water are u sure you are in Australia ?!, it looks like very much Ireland. Pictures are like painting. Great experience. thanks so much to share all this with us ! Love to both of you xxx from France, Christine, Elliot & the boys. |
| 25th June 2007 Granny | Australian Saga - From: Can ya tell wad we hit yet? (in a Rolf Harris style) Pics are fantastic. Rock formation amazing. (Granny would pay to go & see it!)

| 24th June 2007 Mum | - From: Can ya tell wad we hit yet? (in a Rolf Harris style) Love the junk art. |
| 10th June 2007 Martyn | Lucky cat - From: Great Walls of China! The last picture looks quite like the lucky cat in the window of the Chinese chippy on Winter Road! |
| 31st May 2007 Jenny | claustraphobia - From: Beijing Basement That room in Bejing sounds really claustraphobic (don't think I've spelt that right)! How would you get out in an emergency? Doesn't bear thinking about really! You've certainly experienced some different types of accommodation on your travels. Bet it's nice & warm wherever you are though - blooming freezing here at the moment!! Off to London for the weekend to see The Sound of Music so will be singing the Hills are Alive all next week!! Take care both of you. xx |
| 30th May 2007 Martyn | Enduring the Durian... - From: No Umpa’s in Kuala Lumpur Did you manage to locate any durian fruit in Malaysia? A wonderful cocktail of creamy flesh with an underlying tang of rotten cocktail onion and a whiff of gas leak. Unforgettable! |
| 16th May 2007 Dad | Paradise - From: In search of beautiful Thai islands .... Call a place paradise and kiss it goodbye!!! Come to Ladram Bay East Devon - has the stacks and a lot less expensive on the travel! No I'm only jealous. Don't believe Jenny - Vicki is just an email acquantance and is a bit thick and needed a bit of help with organising our taxi to get us to and from our boat on holiday. I didn't think I should rub her nose in it so used my charm instead. Far less stressful. Jenny was worried that they would be left at the airport because Vicki had only booked a taxi for two. Anyone could have made that mistake!!!! |
| 14th May 2007 Jenny | Not such a paradise! - From: In search of beautiful Thai islands .... Sad that Phuket doesn't seem to be quite the paradise we would expect! Tourism always ruins everything doesn't it! Not sure I would like to get as close to nature as you have been either. Great photos though. Guess your actually in Oz now - bet that's fantastic. Spoke to your Dad yesterday Lexa on the webcam - he seems to be getting quite friendly with Vicki - the lady whose organising our holiday!! Lots of love - Auntie Jenny xx |
| 14th May 2007 Christine CHIRAC | news from France ! - From: In search of beautiful Thai islands .... Geoff, Lexa, your adventure is great to read especially with the little hit and humour you add.

Lots of love from France and keep on the discoveries xxx Christine, Elliot, Yohan & Mateo. |
| 23rd April 2007 Martyn | Lake Palace Hotel, Udaipur - From: Pancakes, palaces and lakes The closest I've got to this place is reading about it in 'Madhur Jaffrey's Indian Cookery' as I made my 'Aubergines in the Pickling Style'. Apparently the recipe originated with the chef here. Yummy! |
| 17th April 2007 Frank Skinner | - From: Go Go Hindustan!! I'm really enjoying your photos and look forward to each new episode. From a very envious Frank, back in Cirencester. PS Lexa - it must be 15 years since I last met you ! |
| 15th April 2007 Jenny | Great pottery - From: Go Go Hindustan!! I thought your clay pots were very good - obviously hidden artistic talents there! Your trip is so amazing - it makes our forthcoming holiday to the Lot Valley with your Mum & Dad Lexa, seem rather tame!! We enjoyed seeing them on Easter Sat evening when they came up for a meal. Carry on having fun both of you. Love Aunite Jenny & Uncle Paul xxx |
| 23rd March 2007 Martyn | Real Engineering - From: Playground panic!!! How long has it been since you did any real engineering?? First class job! I'd like to see you get it past our Safety 'Engineers' , though! |

| 8th February 2007 Dad and Mum Wokersien | Lexa's Birthday - From: Chaos and convenience It is only two days to go - for us anyway- to your birthday. It seems strange that we cannot send you presents and a card. But instead you will be in Thailand provided the One World Alliance held up all right at Mombia. We both hope you have a great day Lexa and relish the uniqueness of the occassion in a foreign land. We are thinking about you a lot and will do especially on the 10th. Happy Birthday Love Mum and Dad XXX |

Looking forward to seeing the next section on your Asian travels. Hope you are enjoying the 'Culture' but remembering your own. Can't help noticing that the comments have dissapeared.
