The saddest part for me is that I wont be able to say goodbye but on a positive note he was staying with his niece at the time so was amongst friends |

| 12th January 2009 Linda | Ace photos - From: Bush Babies As usual! Jish does look a bit fly-like in the sunglasses I think.

| 21st November 2008 dizzymum | dub dub dub - From: It's the Little Things I Love oooh, I cracked up at dub dub dub for www too. So funny to hear adults saying it. And jandals. A lot of the other things - like smoko, and the drink and drive slogans - are very similar to home in OZ. But Kiwis definately have their own way of doing (and saying) things. We also love that a babycino in NZ is called a fluffie (in Australia a fluffy is a polite words kids use to say 'fart'). |

We are not sprinting the Inca Trail (missing it) but lots of walking and touring. I really enjoyed your pictures and zest for trave It gave me confort that I can actually do this (it's a real no-frills eco-trip). I also loved the rest of your travels.

| 21st May 2007 Linda | Wow Wow Wow! - From: My Husband Said "Go Jump Off a Cliff" - So I Did! Hi there - I am soooo jealous! That just looks like the coolest thing in the world. I went for a walk just yesterday up to an old Iron Age hill fort hereabouts and there was someone up there doing the same thing, but the wind was pretty poor and there wasn't much of a drop really to fly about in. I kept saying "I want to do that!" Where you are here looks just so much more exciting. Does Jish have a new outfit? Also - Has Glynn been cultivating his goatee? A lot of the photos have shown the chin in shadow, but your face is looking decidedly more pointed. |
| 21st May 2007 salma | glide baby - From: My Husband Said "Go Jump Off a Cliff" - So I Did! oh my god that looks so amazing! Big big respect. xx |

| 8th May 2007 Linda | If that's not aversion therapy - I don't know what would be! - From: What do you call a dinosaur with no eyes? Doyouthinkhesawus! For a dinophobe that is. I wonder where the cheapest places are to pick up text books? I like the photo of Jish being eaten - but where is the one of him escaping and wreaking his revenge? |
| 8th May 2007 Linda | Stunning Day Out - From: Maragua: There's No Crater Place! What a packed day! |
| 7th May 2007 esther | gute besserung! - From: Salar and Sickness hey you poorly tummie-folks! hope you are finally better now - take some pills against the disease!!! kill the virus!!!salty area however looks interessting..going to a concert tonite (free for my - never would pay for it..and got time..beyonce knowles...ups. completely different to air and nine inch nails a month ago (also free for me as a friend cd not go)). bye and gute besserung you both :-) when then exactly are you planning to come back? looking forward to you and your stories! take care! |

| 5th May 2007 Linda | Spiky! - From: Me Tarzan, You Jude Those tree spikes were just mad - they look like spikes on roses. I don't suppose they would have broken off in the same way? I have some strange memories of breaking off rose thornes then sticking them to your nose making it pointy. If the bark would do the same thing, it looks like you'd have to have two to make horns! The strange thoughts of Linda... Oh yeh, keep meaning to mention - Loving the puns by the way! |
| 4th May 2007 Linda | Explorers! - From: In the Jungle, the Mighty Jungle.... I had pictured the pair of you in the same pose as the introdution page - but with massive green jungly leaves all around and possibly holding nets or something. Not that you'd want to damage the lovely butterfly. |
| 4th May 2007 Linda | Thanks! - From: Dried Llamas and Ghost Riders? It Could Only Be La Paz! Thanks for including the photo of the bus with Linda on it - Seems an odd sort of destination - or do you see it as a sort of "yoo-hoo" attention this way please sort of sign? It's cool anyway. Glynn you look fierce in that mask - it seems to be doing something unpleasant and uncomfortable to your nose though! |
| 4th May 2007 Linda | Cool Rocks! - From: Valley of the Luna-tics Love the landscape - a real setting for the imagination. |
| 4th May 2007 Linda | Toy Soldiers - From: Happy Easter from the Highest Capital in the World Yes - They do! |
| 4th May 2007 Linda | What a great day! - From: The Great Lake Titicaca Origami Lesson What an interesting place - Origami is an excelent way to conect with random people. I can only ever remember how to do simple hat/boat or flapping bird these days. |
| 3rd May 2007 Linda | Pretty Lights - From: What Do You Mean It´s Going To Get Cold? Those night time photos are very pretty - you look all glowy Jude! Do you know why the Bat symbols? Maybe they just like their Batman! |

| 2nd May 2007 esther | dino egg - From: What do you call a dinosaur with no eyes? Doyouthinkhesawus! hey you both, hey courageous sister :-) yes.....that egg really seems to be a real jurassic-dino-egg , i'm quite sure:-))) haha. you look so relaxed and happy in bolivia... the dino-park is funny, shame that you couldn't see the footprints in nearer distance. if you both come to munich, we can locate some dinos as well as there are some ferocious looking ones as well (not in a park but in a museum ;-). i had a great weekend (nearly 4 days) with wolfgang in prague, what a great medieval town with the hradschin&co. brilliant weather and last not least visited pilsen, where beer comes from originally. bit of shame that the beer prices from recent times are no longer that cheap(meaning no longer 20cent for half a litre but 6-8 times as high -well - still cheap in comparison to germany or britain ;-) take care and beware of the dinos judith ;-) love'n'miss you, esther |
| 1st May 2007 mom and dad | school - From: What do you call a dinosaur with no eyes? Doyouthinkhesawus! i think its a shame for the children to miss out on learning things but without any proper school books it must be hard when you come back we will have to try and help them some how ok it must have been very painfull to lay that egg see you soon love mom and dad x x x x for jish x x x |

| 5th April 2007 Salma | I went to school with a girl called peru - From: What Do You Mean It´s Going To Get Cold? strange name - strange girl. hey guys - sorry not to have been in touch in so long.. still loving your blogs though! Got plenty of wedding pics to show you. Lots of upheavals at work all year - so keep looking out behind you I may be on the back of the next batmobike you see, as I head off to start my life as a peruvian sheep farmer. It could happen.

| 27th February 2007 Linda | Hello - From: Pancake Day Comes Early Hey there - Cool rocks! Enjoying the silly photos as well. |
| 27th February 2007 Andrea | Greetings from Germany! - From: Time For Another Siesta Hey both of you! Greetings from Germany. I always read your blog and really enjoy it. I then feel for a couple of minutes like being away as well instead of sitting in the library writing my thesis... Have a great time with the giants at the Easter Islands, Andrea :-) |
| 23rd February 2007 mom and dad | cake - From: Santiag-sl-o i hope you bought one off the cakes yum yum i bet you snapped one up hope you afe getting some better sleep now love mom and dad |
| 22nd February 2007 Linda | Hooray! - From: My Porpoise in Life Hooray for dolfins! We saw some in America, but the captive kind you see interacting with humans who are studying/playing. How utterly cool to get close to wild ones! Shame about the lack of photos - guess that's one experience which will have to be retained in memory and words. |
| 21st February 2007 Inspirado | Insider Tips - From: Holy Giant Anthill, Batman! Thanks for the low-down on Santiago and Valpo (actually, we're there now). We're heading back to Santiago in a few days and will be sure to check your info again - it's much appreciated :-) |
| 21st February 2007 james st. james | art, food and booze - From: Holy Giant Anthill, Batman! if you're into murals and street art, just wait till you get to valparaiso. the lower part of the city isn't all that great but the hills are fabulous (especially cerro alegre and cerro concepcion, cerro=hill). in santiago, i really recommend a bar call "la liguria", (address: providencia 1373, about 30-50m from metro station manuel montt, line 1). they have great pitchers of wine with fruit (ponche, or punch, is white wine with peaches or chirimoya, a south american fruit; or else borgoña, red wine with strawberries). again, there's nothing wrong with santiago at night in the areas you will be going, especially in providencia just west of downtown. more in your neck of the woods near barrio brasil, if you go west just a half mile or so from plaza brasil you can find cumming street, which also has some interesting bars and restaurants (between the alameda and catedral streets, metro stop republica on line 1). barrio bellavista, where you were near cerro san cristoba (the big hill you climbed) has good nightlife, especially weekends. a common and tastey snack in santiago are completos (hot dogs with avocados, tomatoes, and mayonaise) and of course empanadas (turnovers). pisco sours are a tastey and intoxicating chilean mixed drink made with pisco, chile's (and peru's) national liquor, sort of like brandy. |
| 20th February 2007 james st. james | dangerous city - From: Una Cerveca Por Favor wonderful blog. you guys are living the life! just wanted to say a thing or two about santiago (don't know if you're even there still). santiago is actually THE safest capital city in the americas--only ottawa is safer with homicide rate of 1.1/100k people--and chile itself is easily the safest country along with canada. santiago has a murder rate of 1.4/100,000 people (compared with about 12/100k for most US cities, i know you're not americans but that's my reference, and lower than canada's). unless you venture into an unusually dangerous neighborhood (and as a tourist you have to really try hard to find one, you won't happen upon a bad area by accident) you will not get mugged. the main danger is pickpockets, but you're both seasoned travelers so unless you totally do something stupid you won't have any problems. no need to be paranoid, but being aware of your surroundings never hurt anyone. cheers, and enjoy your time in chile! |
| 8th February 2007 Linda | Good to see you back! - From: The Boys are Back in Town Hi there - Good to see you're back and blogging!

| 11th January 2007 David Bott (Botty) | Good things happen to good people - From: Get Off the Road! Hi ya mate, went onto friends reunited on Monday, noticed the link to this site and have spent all of my lunch breaks reading about your adventures. Its been a long, long , long (I feel soo old) time since we last saw each other but if there's one thing I'm sure of its that good things happen to good people, You were a top bloke back then and it seems you're still a top bloke. I've got to say that I'm not a big reader and haven't read anything bigger than a newspaper in approx 10 years, please tell Jude that I haven't been able to pull myself away from reading your blogs and have even received a bollocking from the boss for reading them outside of my lunch breaks (has she ever thought of writing a book about your travels because I would definitely buy it). Look forward to reading future blogs and if you get time in your hectic globe trotting lives check me out on friends reunited as I've just updated. Take care of yourself, Jude & Jish and I hope Lina's eye is better. Dave.(will get in touch when you get back). |

| 22nd October 2006 Malaysian | Deepavali - From: An Awful Lot of Nothing At All Hi Jude & Glynn, You have written such an interesting blog, that I keep waiting to read your another day's experience and "adventure". But I am sorry that I have to correct your interpretation of Deepavali. You wrote that "Deepavali, a Muslim festival celebrating the end of fasting for Ramadan". This festival is actually not related to Muslims. It is a Hindu festival which coincidently for the past few years fall on one of the days during Ramadhan month. "Hari Raya Aidilfitri" will be celebrated by Muslims in Malaysia on Tuesday after one month fasting. During this time in October shopping malls and other shopping bazaars are crowded with people because of these two major celebrations. Shopping malls are offering discounted items. Regards. |

Looks like it could last most of next week too! News from the work front - Ann is no longer our boss - we report directly to Alan now. She has been moved to look after a project for about a year - Alan is not sure if she will then come back or not, so we will have to wait and see. I guess thanks go to you on this; don't know whether it would have happened without your intervention - so, thanks! Loving the journal - you could write a book when you get back I think! Debs |

| 19th June 2006 Esther | Enjoy crazy HongKong - NO DOGS - From: Hi from Hong Kong Hi you both, you wonder why the German relatives do not send any comment;-) Finally I do! That travelblog is s.th. really fantastic - am reading your articles all the time - really interessting seems as if I'd join u live! I'd love to as here nothing really important happens - Munich is only full of football-tourists! Last week I've joined the footballgame between Saudi Arabia and Tunesia - for 20Euro (normally 50 Euro ;-))haha)! Friends of mine bought tickets over the internet for plenty of games - though there actually don't any exist! Clever guys! Wanted to sell my ticket to a rich Saudi-Arabi, however, noone was interessted-we thought to get around 2-300 Euro - they pay on the "black market" (right engl. expression-ups?). Everywhere has been police so too risky as not relly legal isn't it..Hope to improve my English as I often have to translate via phone your blogs for Papa and Franziska! They left this morning for a holiday to Switzerland (Gstaad - famous village high in the mountains). So, have fun in HongKong and rest of China - enjoy yourselves - u do as I can c in your photos!! Don't eat dogs and eggs of...different animals ;-) if u know what I mean! Keep us updated! Miss u both! Esther (p.s. received your message on the answering machine - have to leave my flat during daytimes as heavy noise of house builders and craftsmen - better to call in the evenings :-)). TAKE CARE! |
| 19th June 2006 TM | Earthquake info - From: Shake, Rattle and Roll Hi Guys, Hopefully you're still having a huge amount of fun & enjoying all the sites & sounds on your travels. Some Earthquake info for you!! There was indeed an Earthquake measuring 6.3 on the richter scale at 05:01 AM Tokyo time just near Kyushu (The southern most island I think) on the morning of the 12th. There was also another quake measuring 4.2 on the richter scale at 04:45 AM Tokyo time on the morning of the 11th. This one was just near the north-east coast of Honshu. So probably miles away. If you want more info, check out http://neic.usgs.gov/neis/qed/ but it takes an absolute age to load (the map appears quite quickly, but the earthquake data takes several minutes). Personally, I reckon you felt the 6.3 one (or probably the aftershocks), so well done, you have officially survived a 'strong' quake. Enjoy the rest of your travels. TM |
| 18th June 2006 maddie | - From: Osaka - Umeda and Temma photo album loving the photos. its well weird, seeing you so far away on the other side of the world, you both look very content so far, and the architecture looks fucking cool. I watched a thang on Shanghai last night and the architecture and the whole redesign of a city is so interesting, its all a bloody fallic power show, but impressive at the same time, ahh the contradiction of life.... i rechone u guys will end up in some budhist camp and find the meaning of life have even more fun x |

| 8th June 2006 Claire Day | Hello! - From: Follow the bear... Hi guys, Steve and I are loving the tales from your travels. They really brighten up the dullness of work!! I'm glad you found your furry faced friend again, not quite worked out what it is yet??? I've got 23 days till Brett and I fly to Japan, can't wait. We are going to be in China around 9th - 15th July... any chance of meeting up? Take care, Love Claire xx |
| 7th June 2006 Linda | Phew! - From: Monkey Magic! I am pleased to hear Jish will be returning to Inspirado. It’s all very well that he should have his own little adventures - but you just know he’ll want to tell you all about them. Seeing as how it’s quite difficult to communicate with strangers without opposable thumbs or voice box, have you thought of letting him have a little note to give to anyone who might need to help him re-unite in future? (I expect he communicates with you by the power of “He’s our bear”) |
| 6th June 2006 Esther | Beer Icecream exists! - From: Kamakura and the giant Buddha Hey Sister, believe it or not, here in Munich we got bavarian beer icecream which is delicious - takes a time till you feel drunken ;-) Next year you n Glynn have to test it in Munich! So, keep us up to date what other icecream styles there exist on earth;-)! |

| 5th June 2006 TM | Oh no, poor Jish. :-( - From: Geisha spotting in Gion Poor Jish, I hope he's found a nice friend to look after him & try to return him to you. We'll have a minutes silence tonight in his honour (Linda will ensure this happens). Good luck with the rest of your travels. |
| 5th June 2006 Linda | Nooooooooo! - From: Geisha spotting in Gion I hope Jish is just having a little adventure of his own and will join you again soon! |

| 2nd June 2006 Linda | Thank you! - From: Day 1 photos Hi there! I see Jish is looking after you well, taking you to see all the sights. The crossroads looks cool, as does everything! Well done Jude for overcomming fear and successfully taming her very first dinosaur, even if it wasn’t quite the scaly, bone crunching, small furry mammal killing, lighning fast machine of death that strikes terror into the heart of all who witness its destructive power. Hope you continue to HAVE FUN! |
| 1st June 2006 Danny n Lemm | Good to see u off to good start - From: One Step Closer... We are soo jealous of you guys, as one of the prev ppl pointed out took a lotta guts for you to do what ya did but from what I heard so far was worth all the hassles. Have a fab time and stay in touch. Lemm had Job interview today so hopefully we'll have good news to share next week. All going well we may yet join you in NZ early next yr ;-) |

| 29th May 2006 Steve Johnson | Watch out Wickers World!!!! - From: Bright lights, Big City and a knackered Caps lock key Hi Guys, Just thought I'd write you a message from old blighty!!!! Sounds like your trip has kicked of to the perfect start... and i do like the blogs. I'm so happy that you've managed to set off - it seems such a long wait, and then it happened so quickly, I didn't manage to speak to you to wish you well on your epic adventure!!!! Things this side of the globe are much the same (as i guess you'd expect)... back on the quest for a job with loads of interviews... still decorating the house... and still trying to get that little bit fitter (just joined the gym down the road) You take it easy, and i'll keep my eyes open for your next installment - it has more tnesion than a neighbours cliff hanger!!!! Lots of love to you both, Steve |
| 28th May 2006 Hermann Straub | Wie geht es Euch - From: One Step Closer... Hallo Judith, hallo Glynn, wir freuen uns dass ihr gut in Tokio gelandet seit, und es euch gut geht. Wir wuenschen Euch viel Spaß und alles Gute. Franziska, Esther und Papa |
| 28th May 2006 Robert | Go For it... - From: One Step Closer... Jude, I know you'll both have a ball with this and I hope you realise that, in addition to your packs, you're carrying all our hopes and dreams with you, coz we haven't got the bottle that you two have!! So long as your gastro-intestinal tract behaves in a manner to that of PVC pipe, you'll be fine. I make a point of always testing the local brew (wherever I go) and I guess you'll do the same. The only place this failed for me was Venice, when our hotel only stocked Tennents!! Enjoy everything, even the hardship, and keep safe. I'll even let you bore me with the PowerPoint show on your return. Love n huggs from the Swindon NC Posse!! |
| 26th May 2006 Rachel & David | Good Luck - From: One Step Closer... Wow! After a lot of planning, this seems to have happened quite quickly. We'll be keeping track of you on your blog and look forward to hearing about all your adventures. Good luck and have a lot of fun!!! |
