Blimey Liz! I've just recieved about 8 blogs together in a row (dunno why. Thought you'd gone a bit quiet. Thought perhaps you were so off the beaten track that you were sans-web, but obv just my computer playing up). It all looks so amazing (sorry. Keep gushing when I respond to your blogs). That mountain bike trip looked horrendous. Are you trying to kill your parents with stress? Dan's moutain biking round Mont Blanc at the moment, so you've got me feeling a bit worried!
When are you home? Must be soon. In fact, I have an idea it's this week. Hurray! Can't wait to see you on the 29th.
Love Niki x
UFO`s ? So that`s what happens when you don`t pay your rent ?......
As always lovely to see your pics ..and you don`t look at all green in the plane photo ...At least that`s not sooo dangerous !
Loads of love xxxxUs and Marms xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Oh My God!!! Just read about 7 blogs in a row as have been too caught up with work to pay them my full attention recently.......but now I have.......I'm stunned! All looks incredible and you seem to be having such a good time. Feels like a lifetime since I said goodbye to you (tears in eyes!) in that airport in Fiji! And all I've managed to do since is be at work (disregarding the few days after Fiji on my own at the Whitsundays obviously!) and look at everything you've seen in that time?!?!! It's crazy! Mind you, I have seen baby Eliza and you've that pleasure still to come when you get back! On that note, glad you are still having a cool time and am really looking forward to seeing you very soon.
Love and hugs as ever,
Orla

P.S. Still have your books etc waiting for you to come home and hand them over in person. Also am still amazed that your clothes are holding out! They were looking ropey in February!!! Good skills madam!!
Speechless .... We are stunned by the images ...bet you are glad you struggled up there ..what an experience. Hope you made lots of wishes ? Think it rather puts Glasters and The Tor in the shade for Spiritual wotsit ....

The lady in the cave must have a good dentist - amazing pics! As for the llama i imagine, although you specified eating a small amount, that it was a steak and not a whole animal! looks so brilliant lizzie whizz. keep the journals coming - i am loving them. take care kesXXX
salty southey Heya Liz...sorry not to post for ages. I have been reading, honest! Just back from Ghent. shattered. seat racing this weekend. wish me luck! Still miss seeing your smiling face round the club. Come home soon!! Pub quiz last night. Still not the same without you though I'm getting better at the puzzles! Love, Em xx

Liz once again sounds amazing. looking forward to the replay of the hey's hoy's and ay's when you return. as for the altitude sickness making you clumsy, i am suprised you actually managed to continue any further on your journey; knowing how clumsy you are sans altitude sickness! anyway more importantly was your egg runny!! love you and stay safe, kes
where there`s smoke ther`s always a volcano ... Dear Brave Lizbie
Just your ordinary ,every day occurence then ? ...althpough from that distance it does look very similar to one of your Dads mighty bonfires after he`s neatened the trees in the field! .... Try and be careful ! .Loads of love xxxxUs xxxx and Marms xxxxxxxxxx
Oh my gosh, Liz, it all looks so amazing. I've been particularly enjoying the NZ blogs, knowing we'll be there soon. We'll have to pick your brain on all the best bits when you get back. Also, I want to know your secret of always looking so chic and well turned-out when you're living out of a backpack! Carry on having a fab time. Love Niki x
What a big sparkler ! Always knew you were dyanmite ...love the suit ...and the hat ...at least it`s not lycra or rubber .Hope you`re feeling better now ..and your mates are letting you back on the bus with them !!!!Seems futile to say Take Care ,as I gaze at the pic of you with dynamite in your Hand ..but Take care ...xxxxxxxxloads of love xxxxxxxUs and Marms xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Glad to see nothing has changed Liz Biz! And I am glad to think that we did learn something in those three years at uni..even if it was just to remember to wear nice undies on match days!
Thanks to the Bazmeister.... (...ask your Dad!) I now have your blog address and can skive off work reading of your adventures. One day I will look at each photo but so far I have 'done' Japan and Oz so you are going to take some catching up! 7 years ago we were at Wentworth Falls, Three Sisters etc. (My cousins live near by.) I don't do heights very well and came off the cable car ('aerial skyway' I think they called it) shaking so much I couldn't walk. Happy days!
Anyway me, Baz, Flipper, Doc, Denzil and Wurzel are off to Auschwitz in less than 2 weeks. The idea of our own travelblog has not been discussed. Perhaps we should leave it at that! (Flipper and I went to the Oxon/Cantab Boat Race earlier this month....good job there were no photos; 3 minutes of rowing, 9 hours of beer and curry, and we missed the last train home. Mrs Wildman had to pick us up from Salisbury at midnight; it was a rather frosty trip back in her mobile 'fridge! Accordingly we plan to stay clear of the bars in Krackow ;-)
Great to see the trip is going so well. We are all very envious.
Take care. 'Wildman' Webb
Hello! Hello you!
Pictures and updates look fab! I even got the "So long and thanks for all the fish" title!
New Zealand is looking great! You seem to really be enjoying it all and why not?!
I'm just putting all the holiday photos into an Oz album which I can't wait to show you!
See you soon

excellent east coast Liz, glad you enjoyed Hawkes Bay and Gisborne, we were there last November.
Enjoy the rest of your time in NZ, it`s a great country!
Patricia.
How are the sheep? I am still a little concerned by the fate of the sheep with the shear marks on her neck! I can see you enjoying life as a rousie (the shearers on our farm always had the most divine, tanned bods!!). Looks like you are having a lot of fun - am so envious of you. I suppose time is flying by for you, but I can't believe how much you have done each time I check your blog. Take care and see you soon, Emma xx
Loved the log I can almost smell dinosaurs in that Lower Jurassic exposure, Liz.
Watch out for them - especially when you get to South America. They're rife there, you know!
Last few NZ updates............... ...............wow! That all looks amazing Liz-Bee! You look like you're having a wonderful time and why not!? With all those fabulous views and stuff to do.......very jealous here!
Glad NZ is living up to its reputation and you've made some lovely chums too!
Love,
Orla

P.S. To keep myself in the holiday mood, I've still got the stuff I brought home for you out on display so it feels like I'm not quite unpacked yet! Well......it's only been three or four weeks hasn't it?!?! What did you expect?!?!!?
inspiration Hi Liz, after seeing your great pictures, Amy and I have booked a month in New Zea Land. Don't kill to many brain cells with the local hooch.
I have been working non-stop since leaving university and last February I felt I had got to the point where I could buy a house and settle down or I could travel the world and mix-it-up globally...it was a tough decision.
While I have travelled quite a bit with my job and on holiday (Europe and the US), I felt I had never really got out there and seen stuff. Consequently, I am taking a 6-month sabbatical from work, starting in Jan 2006, and will be travelling to Australia, Fiji, New Zealand, Chile, Argentina, Bolivia, Peru and Ecuador (and fingers crossed, the Galapagos Islands).... full info
