| 1st April 2007 Alan W | Happy birthday! - From: Beauty and the Beast : Two Sides of Rio Hi C & P, Just a quick one to say happy birthday to Catherine, sorry it's a bit delayed. Hope you two are doing well, when are you due home (if ever!)? Take care, Alan |
| 3rd March 2007 bruce | two sides ... - From: Beauty and the Beast : Two Sides of Rio Dear Sir, On February 17-21, I and four friends stayed at the Marina Place Hotel in the Leblon area in Rio De Janiero. On my last day there I had US$500 (1000 Real) stolen from my "safe" deposit box in my hotel room. On my last morning in the hotel (February 21), I went to the beach and informed the receptionist that i would be no longer than one hour and could she keep my key and glasses at the front desk. When I returned, half of the money in my safe was gone although they spared me my camera, credit cards and passport. When I told the manager about this situation, he informed me that the only people that know the security code are managers. We exchanged glances and I suggested that perhaps that says it all. I am told they have video cameras on each floor and that these pictures are being "reviewed". I feel that it is important for travellers to know that these so called "safe" deposit boxes in the rooms are not so safe and I would caution any one from placing too much trust in the integrity of the Marina Place Hotel management. |
| 28th January 2007 Betguin | Penguin's rock - From: Chasing the Liberator - Patagonia The penguins are just fantastic, especially "Hold Me"!!! I like the Cat & Dog picture too. Oh yeah and the amazing scenery is pretty alright ;-) |
| 27th January 2007 james st. james | wonderful adventure - From: Chasing the Liberator - Patagonia wow, you guys have had one hell of a trip! i just wanted to add something about bernardo o'higgins. despite what wikipedia may say, he did not found the city of punta arenas. punta arenas (the oldest chilean city in patagonia) was founded in 1843, but o'higgins died in 1842, exiled in peru. both argentina and chile disputed the southern region of south america and the area was only divided between the two countries around 1880, while chile was fighting bolivia and peru in the war of the pacific. bolivia and peru were hoping to draw argentina into the confilct against chile. argentina would have attacked in the south and taken all of what is now southern chile. chile knew it could not defeat all three countries, so in a treaty with argentina, chile renouced all claims to what is now the argentine patagonia (it had previously claimed al this land to the atlantic) and the boundaries between the two countries were set, similar to what they are today. o'higgins wanted chile to expand southward but the chilean patagonia was only secured around 1880, but he was long dead when this actually took place and didn't actually do any of it himself. cheers, and enjoy the rest of your time in south america! |
| 8th January 2007 MattS | you buggers... - From: Rappy Nui Year! ...easter island for new year, insanely jealous. just catching up on your travels as the wind and rain lashes down outside, all looks amazing, your south indian adventures followed an uncannily similar route to mine and pip's a good 10 years ago. enjoy south america, look out for my mate alan! |
| 4th January 2007 Bob T | Happy New Year - From: Rappy Nui Year! Thanks for all the great blogs and photo's throughout the last year, really fantastic stuff.

Have a good one, Bob. |

| 20th December 2006 Mustafa | HAPPY XMAS GUYS! - From: A short little blog about nothing Oooh those Hundertwasser loos take me back to our Vienna antics! Have a fantastic Xmas wherever you find yourselves (mainly because I'm looking forward to the Xmas Omnibus edition of your blog... but also cos we miss you and are thinking of you I suppose... a bit) PS Celeb note: as you are now vagabond dirtbags you might not be aware that you will need to return with some exotic adopted baby with a suitably miserable past in order to make it back into the A list echelons. Oh and Katie & Pete wanted me to ask you if they could name their new kid after you? They're thinking of combining your initials and call it PC Junior the Second (can't confuse Junior #1) PPS Any sign of Mustafa? Been getting heavy breathing calls and anonymous hate mail stamped in Chile, keep your eyes open! |
| 20th December 2006 Liz | Happy Christmas bloggers! - From: A short little blog about nothing Only 5 more sleeps till Christmas Day!! Hope Easter Island is as amazing as Rathangan, and already looking forward to next year when we'll have the most amazing Christmas ever!! |

Cathy you used to be my roving idol but I am too jealous of the tea plantation - not to mention the t-shirt - so you are shunned. |

| 22nd October 2006 Lars | - From: Bombay Dreams Hi Catherine & Patrick, I just want to say that I think it's a very good blog. It's comfortable reading and gives you a good impression of your route and the countries you visit. And the pictures are great! It's a privilege to follow the two same set of eyes and minds travelling around the world, describing and comparing what they see. The www.travelblog.org is a great site, and thank you for recommending it to me. Good luck with your future endeavours! |

| 5th October 2006 Neil&Anna | Laos is brill - From: To find your cow, don't dream about rope We loved Laos. Our top SE Asian country. Now its just a photo on our wall now. Bugger. We were more scared of the troops on the mountain road to Luang Prabang than the risk of bandits, young kids with rocket launchers! |
| 21st September 2006 Anna&Neil | Back2Work - From: Nam Sandwich Ahhh Lake Baikal seems years away. Keep on travelling! Dont come back. We are working again and its rubbish. Dont let anyone tell you a career is a good idea. We liked Vietnam, especially the North, sorry you had a bad time. We had some hassle but no worse than the rest of Asia. |

| 23rd August 2006 JP | Are smashed frogs just very drunk? - From: A Riel Adventure The roads in Cambodia sound like the roads in Brighton except for the floods, lack to tarmac and big holes. After many months it looks like you almost have a tan! Pat must be boyed up by the Baggies good start to the season. |
| 21st August 2006 Betty | Frogs 'n' Floods - From: A Riel Adventure What an amazing adventure! There I was, navigating a puddle on Jervis St and worrying about not getting a seat on the Luas - how shallow is my world compared to washed away roads, Killing Fields and crazy chicken-filled trains.. Really great blog & great pictures. The curry looks divine, PLEASE make one for me when you get back! |
| 11th August 2006 Yvonne | OOOooooooooooooooooh - From: Fast Train To Transcentral This all sounds so so amazing!! For some reason I don't get emails any more telling me there is an update and I had really started to miss your fabulous updates so I just checked in anyway.. and found a Japan and Thailand update waiting for me... lucky me!! Not quite as great as being there I admit, but you paint the pictures so well, keep it up! ENJOY the relaxation in Thailand... no doubt you need it by now! Am off to Dublin tomorrow and will be sure to say a big hello to all the knackers and will tell Dublin Bus/iarnrod Eireann you miss them so. Would you like me to send you pictures of the DART? |
