To the adventurer
Wow Machu Pichu looks awesome (proper usage of the word intended), like you say I'm sure the photos only capture a small part of what it feels like to be there. Seems like your having a hell of a time and you look very fit in all the photos, I think you were a colonialist in a previous lifetime! I bet your planning your next voyage already. All good here, had Rachel and the two kids to stay, lots of fun riding steam-trains, dressing up and playing silly songs on the guitar and generally acting like an idiot to entertain the children. Steam train brought back many happy memories, you can't beat that smell. Looking forward to your return and to seeing a selection of your photos! Good luck with the mammoth bus trip and take great care. Love George.xx

Poem for the blog
A QUESTION FROM THE MISSUS ... You've been to the jungle And slept near the stars, You've been to the cities Jam packed full of cars. You've seen chickens in sacks And spoken of gold, Of the treasures long lost And the battles of old. There's something that's missing I want to know where, In all of these travels Is Paddington Bear? xxx

Hello
Hi John Just read up on your trip so far, sounds amazing and love the photo's. Look forward to seeing more. Has it gone quick as I see you are back soon? All is well with me, had a lovely birthday - thank you for the card and book tokens. Lots of Love Alex

Hey Dad!
Wow!! sounds like your having a hell of a time, good job you left mother at home, think it might kill her off! That is a mighty tree you're standing under, haven't seen any like that around here. Do they eat the alligators? apparently they make a very good burger. By tame comparison I saw a seal in the dart today, followed me from longmarsh to the riverside cafe, a very heavy breather indeed. Do hope you're getting on with the fellow trekkers...it all sounds rather intimate. All well here, gig in brum was a triumph, many of the 'fans' excited about seeing us in holland, seems that this festival is a mecca for the lovers of metal. Writing lots of new songs of my own, which is always a pleasure. Saw India, sweet as usual, but of course the center of attention! Thinking of you lots, take good care of yourself and don't over do it! all my love...George.xxxx

Following your travels with interest - hope the jungle comes up to expectation! Wet and windy Sunday afternoon here! x

Good Luck
This is the boring part hanging around at airports but you will soon be on your way and hopefully having a great time! x

Good Luck
Hi John - Good Luck! Hope you have a great time and can't wait to see all your photos and read your blog. I wonder how much it has all changed since I went (in 1992)! We'll have to compare notes when you get back. All the best, Emma x
