| 1st November 2006 Tan | Happy Halloween - From: Flying Fox, Abseiling, Gorge Swing and cheating death Hi Jordan :) All 3 of the death defying activities you did look so amazing - I want a turn!!! I would love to see a picture of your moms face while you were flying the air - I'll bet that would have been hysterical. Miss you guys lots. Tan xo |
| 1st November 2006 Steph | HOLY CRAP! - From: Flying Fox, Abseiling, Gorge Swing and cheating death Jordan...you're CRAZY! It's really fabulous to hear about your adventures from you. Calvin is going nuts without you....he wants to hear about them in PERSON!!! Heide, so sorry I missed your call...AGAIN! Will take pictures of our new place and send them to you ASAP. HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!! Cal wanted to dress up as a girl, but somehow his wig mysteriously disappeared this morning...LOL. He's dressing up as the muscle man from Fantastic 4. Emma is going out as both a Hula Dancer AND a super hero (don't ask...I'll send pics) and Jakey man is being the Scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz. We REALLY miss you and Jordan right now. I'm dreaming of your old house and your pumpkin carving parties with the kids. It's a sweet memory though, because of what came out of the past....look where you are today! Love you guys, Steph |
| 30th October 2006 Heide and Jordan | Hello - From: Flying Fox, Abseiling, Gorge Swing and cheating death October 10th 2006 Hi Hiede and Jordan Great to hear from you. We love all the pictures. We are all doing well too busy though. I can\'t wait to go to Mexico and relax. take Care Donna, Kerry, Cameron, and Carly. |
| 29th October 2006 Heide and Jordan | Whoohoooo - From: Flying Fox, Abseiling, Gorge Swing and cheating death October 29th 2006 Hi guys, I started a message and you might have got it but I'm not sure since I've got Chelsea in my lap and she loves to use the mouse. Anydaho, I'm at a loss for words, almost. Heidi, your writing is entertaining and so bloody accurate. You bring back tonnes of great memories for me. Going to Africa was one of the highlights of my life. I went for the animals but came away completely touched by the people. It seems trite to even say it now but I bet you know what I'm talking about. I have never wanted for anything material since returning home and am continually grateful for life's small graces. Can't wait to read your next entry. Wayne stayed at the watering hole in Etosha until five in the morning watching the various animals come and go. It was like watching the best play ever - one act, after another. Time flys over us and leaves it's shadow behind and yours is getting longer every day. Take care and best wishes. Love from Shannon p.s. - my Grandmother was really tickled to received your postcard! p.s.s. - Jordon, I like your haircut and your last entry. So much fun in the gorge! Did you enjoy sandboarding? I had a heart-attack when I did it and still cringe to this day thinking about it. Give me a pair of skis any day. Speaking of which - no snow here yet, little bit of rain, looking forward to Hallowe'en and some trick or treating. Wayne and I spent the Hallowe'en of '96 near Etosha and Wayne dressed up as 'spoon man' and I was 'lady in dress' - go figure. Lame, I know. I think we paniced the locals cuz they didn't know about Hallowe'en at all. Needless to say, it was slim pickings for chocolate. Jayden says 'hello' and is looking forward to reading more entries from you. That, and now he wants to travel the world. Don't we all???? Take care, S. |
| 27th October 2006 Damian | Too cool!! - From: Flying Fox, Abseiling, Gorge Swing and cheating death That looks awesome!!! Where is the Heide "flying fox" or was it the Heide "sitting safely on land fox?" LOL |
| 23rd October 2006 Stephanie & Calvin | miss you guys! - From: Quad biking on the moon So glad you guys are having some down time! It was fabulous to hear your voice the other day...and so surreal to think you were so far away in the middle of AFRICA! You sounded so close! Hey Jordan....LOVE your hair!!! |
| 22nd October 2006 Natalie | I miss you - From: Quad biking on the moon I miss you so much, wish I was with you. I went skating at Moody Park areana last night. They had a Hallow'en theme going on. I brought home a huge pumpkin which I carved a scary face on. Today I am going to watch my sister, Stephanie play soccer. It is beautiful and sunny, just the way I like it. I learned how to do a Ollie when I was skate-boarding. Whew...it was hard but I did it. lol I am also playing volley-ball on my school team and we have our first game next Wednesday after school. I get up at 7:00 in the morning, meet my friend and we go to practice at the school on Mondays and Thursdays. Really miss you lots. Love, hugs, kisses Natalie |
| 22nd October 2006 Annika | long time - From: Quad biking on the moon I have missed you guys! I was so happy to hear from you. I figured you were out on a long safari.

| 4th October 2006 Silvi and John | Getting the travel bug again! - From: Sossusvlei - The real land before time Hi guys. Your journal is inspiring, makes us want to take off for distant lands again. Heide , your writing is so descriptive. When I am reading your narrative, it feels as if I am sitting beside you in the bus, sliding down the dunes with you and Jordan or having a drink with my new best friends (it happens when you are travelling). Are you eating any exotic foods - besides bad salad dressing ? Love Silvi & John |
| 4th October 2006 Deanna and Nat | Glad to hear your okay - From: Food poisoning and other good stuff We had not heard from you for a few days and wondered if something had happened. Yep, it did the food poisoning. Your journey is amazing and we love to read your blogs when they arrive. Keep safe, Deanna and Natalie |
| 3rd October 2006 Ken Fynn | So impressed - From: Sossusvlei - The real land before time Hi Heide and Jordon, Incredible is all I can say. I am mesmerized by the blog.I identify with the need to cast off the city. Your style of writing brings me right to what you are seeing, I can almost feel it......like a good book, I crave the next chapter. Stay safe and soak it all up. |
| 3rd October 2006 Heide and Jordan | Green with envy - From: Sossusvlei - The real land before time Hey there guys! I finally figured out how to read your blogs. What a wonderful adventure and journey of a lifetime. Wow!! Ilga kept me up to date. Keep safe and have fun while I enjoy my new shade of green. Shauna |
| 30th September 2006 iggy | Congratulations! - From: South Africa: How could you be so blind as to see everything in black and white? Congratulations Heide! The power of our written word is enormous. There is a small spark of writing in most of us just waiting to be ignited by our creative wind. And you Heide have certainly ignited your creative wind with your eloquent blog re Zwelihle township. There is a narrowness to all our lives, lived as we are in privilege and in full consciousness that millions of less fortunate, but equally deserving souls go without. Unique experience for you Heide adding value and quality to your life. I'm sure very fulfilling. Very moving stories and pictures. |
| 25th September 2006 Tanya | It is true - From: South Africa: How could you be so blind as to see everything in black and white? A picture really is worth a 1000 words!! Nice job capturing the true essence of the town and the people. Keep it up! Ciao for now brown cows Tan P.S. - DAY 13 TODAY - WOOHOO!! |
| 25th September 2006 Sabrina | This was an eye opener! - From: South Africa: How could you be so blind as to see everything in black and white? Hey guys, great pics and an even better read. I was so touched and moved by what you saw and the people you met. There is a great deal of misconceptions when it comes to some of those places in S.Africa. |
| 25th September 2006 Damian | Great pics - From: South Africa: How could you be so blind as to see everything in black and white? Great pics. The black and white is an extra great touch!! |

Jordan is very brave. I could never do it. I remember when we were kids and you and Chet and Sylvia would always swim under the swim raft. I could never do it. That tiny chimney looked really scary to me. I think you're cabin is cute!!!~ LOL. Happy, Safe travelling. MeAGAN |
| 16th September 2006 Silvi & John | No Caves for me - From: Claustrophobia, mooning and ostrich riding Your pictures of the caves are incredible but I am glad you two are in them and not me - wonder if anyone has ever had to be hauled out because of fear or being stuck?

| 27th August 2006 iggy! | Phew! What a first day! - From: Getting to the Alps???? Enjoyed reading your first day adventure. Looking forward to many more. The cow worried me! No room at the house for her. Wellllllllllllll maybe? Nosebleed! Could be because of the high altitude? What a day, yuk , incredible! Thinking of you both. Good luck and may God hold you both in the palm of his hand on your road to your dream. |
| 26th August 2006 Tania | Partner - From: Getting to the Alps???? I felt that I was right there with you and Jordan - and all the others you met on the way. I, too felt the fear of shooting hail. |
| 26th August 2006 Tania | Gutsy - From: Leaving I enjoyed your very descriptive letter - what fun, and what a great feeling to not know exactly where your instincts will lead you next. That is the true spirit of adventure - Good luck to you both - I look forward to the next installment. |
| 26th August 2006 Annika | In the beginning - From: Taking the long way....... August 24th 2006 ...was exhaustion, excitement and maybe a little bit of culture shock. Thinking about you two and look forward to hearing your adventures. Annika, Zach and Aniela Re: Taking the long way....... SENT spam | delete | send on |
| 26th August 2006 tania batten | Your fascinating travels - From: Taking the long way....... Hi Heide, I may have met you once many years ago, I'm Holly's aunt on her father's side, and I'm utterly captured by fine sense of adventure - it's something that I would have done, had I thought of it when I was oh-so-much younger. Even now, I would love to fly over and meet you in one of your exotic destinations for a short stay (if you would allow me) - Unfortunately, my husband is currently in home-care, and I don't know if I could leave him - it's too early to tell. My nephew (from my other brother) has just moved from Bankok to Shanghai - bummer, that would have been a great opportunity. I'm especially entranced with the early part of your itenerary. What a wonderful education and experience your providing for Jordan - he's a very fortunate boy to have a mom with your spirit. Good luck, Hugs and happy wishes to you and Jordan, Tania Batten (nee Hurmuses) Re: Taking the long way....... |
