| 17th December 2006 Nikki | Torres de fantastique! - From: Ice Magic! Hi Maz and Fi! Seeing your photos reminded me of my trip to Patagonia which was amazing. I went a different time of year so it was really really cold but I found it breathtaking and forgot about the temperature. No other people really around in the park either which was fab! Anyway, wishing you both a fantastic Christmas and New Year. I think Fi is heading to South Africa. Take care - Nikki |

| 14th November 2006 Nikki Cardle | I'm not jealous at all ?! - From: "I've Been To Paradise....... Well, I really can't see why you call it paradise?!! Never a good liar was I! It looks awesome and I am so jealous. You seem to be having so much fun from the photos and I wish I could be there with you too. What an experience!! Hope you had good Birthdays too and very belated greetings. As Jacqs says look after yourselves and we will do the same when we get to Cambodia next week. Check out Cutler's blog for details! Take care, Niksxxx |
| 13th November 2006 cath rossner | Paradise indeed lucky ladies! - From: "I've Been To Paradise....... Wish I'd had the mind to travel and join you (not working at the mo) for some dune fun.. looks spectacular and so relaxed. Winter here is looking far more dull and grey after seeing these turquoise waters... but where are your pictures of hunky Brazilian bods? Enjoy Salvador which looks beautiful. |
| 9th November 2006 Cutler | WOW, WOW!! - From: "I've Been To Paradise....... It looks amazing - am wondering who did all the driving?? (and at least you survived!), did Fi start talking to herself underwater, then fall about laughing when she realised she couldn't talk?!? Now, girls, please take care at your next destination. Miss you heaps, Love Jacxxx |
| 5th November 2006 Marie | Spider picture gave me the hebe jebees - From: In The Jungle, The Mighty Jungle... Been given your travel blog by Sian and have just spent the last few days!! reading through it. It all sounds absolutely amazing and the pictures are stunning. I never realised how beautiful the scenery in Ecuador is although I had some clue as to the poverty endured. I'm sure all those children will remember your time and encouragement despite the lack of resources. Puts us to shame in this country!! Looking forward to hearing about your next adventure. Best wishes - keep safe - Marie xx |

| 26th October 2006 joe and nos | hi guys - From: In The Jungle, The Mighty Jungle... hi both , the journey sounded great although looked longer than planned. Those tales of creepy crawlies are putting nos off the jungle a bit. Hope it smelt good. Have fun on the beaches. joe and nos |

| 10th October 2006 Sian | Nothing Ventured Nothing Gained - From: Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained Always lovely to hear what you're up to Marielle. I'm trying to think of some ways we can introduce some mountains into the London landscape and the odd hummingbird or two ready for your return!! |
| 26th September 2006 Derek | Cotopaxi is not like Yorkshire? - From: Practically A Local Already Consumed with jealousy reading your screed and seeing the photos. Cotopaxi looks a challenge! Steve will tell you how we got into limbo descending the Old Man of Coniston the vertical way! We'd be in big big trouble on C...xi |
| 24th September 2006 Sian | Another way of looking at it!!! - From: Education, Education, Education Does sound shitty for them but maybe in a weird way they're lucky to be so easily pleased. Remember you might not be there long enough to effect any change but don't forget you'll be touching those little ones lives anyway. It's great hearing what you're up to Marielle. What am I up to? - trying to effect some change on systems funnily enough!!!Take care Marielle! |
| 24th September 2006 Jacquie | Very proud of you... - From: Education, Education, Education Glad you now belief us about your snoring!?! Although I have to admit I have never heard you - no one can be as bad of Fi so when she arrives you will have competition! Dont give up you, you are doing a great job!! Your photos are superb too! |

| 5th September 2006 sam | culture shock - From: Reality Bites... another great report M, makes you realise what the kids have here and apparently it's still not enough! Must be very rewarding to see the pleasure that just some play dough brings them. They'll miss you! Sam x |
| 23rd August 2006 Duncan | Eat the guinea pigs... - From: Markets, heights and dictators Disappointed M at not immersing yourself and going for the full guinea pig feast. To get over the cuddly issues, just think of how annoying Roland Rats' chums were and you'll be gnawing on a rodent in no time. Keep up the lingo learning and don't take the teacher so personally - that was you 2 months ago. Looking forward to hearing more about Andy in the next installment. D x |
| 22nd August 2006 cousin cath | - From: Markets, heights and dictators lovely blog looks like you have really immersed yourself in the local culture/smelly springs. more pictures of yourself doing hilarious things please. besitos.xx |

| 15th August 2006 Alistair | Nice bedspread - From: Practically A Local Already Excellent blogging, Marielle...look forward to reading lots more entries over the coming months! Great photos - your room looks cool, and I'm loving the hot springs. Looks like a sewage treatment works. I'm also deeply intrigued by the crest on the Ecuadorian flag. Feel free to dedicate a future blog to explaining it... :-) |
| 15th August 2006 Karen (Batesy) | WOW Marielle......... - From: Practically A Local Already ....those photo's look fantastic! I mean, not quite as good as the view from my desk..... of the photocopier but y'know, alright! It sounds great. Go girl.......... xx |
