| 20th July 2008 John and Chris | Welcome home - From: Homeward Bound Welcome home: only 11 months? It seems like a lifetime... Text soon... XX |
| 12th July 2008 phyllis | broken arm - From: A break in Cambodia Wow.... what amazed me is your true dedication to writing the travel log despite having a broken arm! That deserves a blue peter badge alone. I'm in London now as you must be soon - in town between 15th and 18th July if you're about call me = 07834520041 |
| 11th July 2008 Barrie | Hope you can dance as well as at John's party - From: A break in Cambodia Well Neil. I still have the video where you did a great rendition to Madonna!!! So hopefully this cast hasn't put a stop to your moves!!! Sounds like you guys are having loads of fun and memories to last you a life time. So when do you get back? x |
| 3rd July 2008 John Newman | Blue Peter - From: South to Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City) Neil looks like you got a Blue Peter Badge for crawling through those tunnels! Looks an interesting place. Can't wait to catch up when you are back and hear all about this leg of your travels. |
| 23rd June 2008 phyllis | Vietnam - From: Vietnam - Stepping up the Pace Really pleased you made it to Vietnam which is still my favourite country in SE Asia. Amazing that you still found Vietnam cheap given it is suffering 25% inflation. Get in contact when you arrive in London..... which won't be long. |
| 8th June 2008 John & Chris | Hi - From: Thailand Revisited Just a brief note from scorching Manchester - too hot to type so don't know how you manage in all these exotic tropical locations. All looks fab and look forward to long post holiday de-briefs (ooh err missus) in Tory London whenever that may be! Love and hugs, J & C x Ps Hope you set your recorder before leaving, otherwise you're missing some cracking episodes of Time Team. |
| 2nd June 2008 David | Konichiwa boys - From: Turning Japanese Loved the two dispatches from Japan, photos looked amazing. Enjoy your next stop. We miss you! Dx |
| 2nd June 2008 John Newman | Big in Japan - From: Turning Japanese Title relates to nothing but the song by Alphaville, before you start wondering.... is Japan really that serene? Your photos make it all look so beautifully calm and clean. Definately makes me want to put Japan o the list. |
| 31st May 2008 John & Chris | All Japaned out - From: Not Lost in Translation Fabulous tales and pictures (but thank goodness for the Advertisement Regulations here in the UK) - couldn't pick u two out though in the boxing ring. Pleased you're still having wonderful time. Lots of love, J & C x (Ps Mr Newman, it's so NOT sad to be making college models at strange times of the night - I know, Mary de Kersal-Moor x) |
| 18th May 2008 Sarah | Hi! - From: Hong Kong phooey! Loving the updates - but in need of more photos sitting on cannons - every good trip needs good cannon photos !!! xxxx |
| 18th May 2008 John Newman | Just Thinking.... - From: Hong Kong phooey! about you two earlier tonight and up pops a blog! And I'm such a saddo being next to my pc at 12.45am Sunday morning (making a model for college). Interesting thoughts on HK, and great photo of the Mid levels escalator. |
| 16th May 2008 JohnandChris | - From: On the rice trail We've just caught up with a vast chunk of your amazing experiences -- from the Punjab to the rice terraces. The photographs and the writing really bring it to life fabulously. We can't wait to tease more out of you when you're back and we're all chatting -- whenever that might be. And (perhaps) tasting Neil's new culinary skills (what a life-changer, eh?). The earthquake casts a grim shadow over the last part of your journey so far and we're hoping you were only affected emotionally/at a distance. Where were you heading next? Saving making Sydney Bridge model for a summer-time treat. Notice there are no photos of your own ongoing multi-model building projects -- winter palace made of water lily leaves; hot-bamboo-torture-cup Great Wall,' chopstick Forbidden City, etc -- but we expect you're too modest. Lots of love. PS More streetscape scenes and street furniture photos, please, for use in MA project work - bins in Candy-Ha would have been particularly useful. |
| 11th April 2008 JP | Shimla Pink? - From: Punjab and our journey to the Himalayas Another fascinating insight...certainly a good start to a Friday morning. |
| 1st April 2008 Jo | - From: The 3 J's of Rajastan Hey guys, your trip looks fantastic and very interesting! Jay, I think you should forget about teaching on your return you should write a travel guide! Love your updates! x |
| 31st March 2008 JP | The best yet! - From: The 3 J's of Rajastan Hi you two. This latest bunch of photos are fab. Really interested to see these places through your lens of course. Now I'm going to have to google earth to see in more detail where you are. Take Care. |
| 31st March 2008 David | - From: The 3 J's of Rajastan Looks amazing. Just what we need to see on a grim Monday morning at work... |
| 21st March 2008 Gary | Stunning! - From: Crazy India Your photos are amazing, and the blog for india is the best so far! Very pleased you haven't become jaded yet! Have a great Easter. |
| 21st March 2008 John | India One - From: Crazy India Hi Boys Looks an interesting place to be, and it must be such a shock after Sydney. I am still adjusting to being back here. Today I've opened the curtains to brilliant sunshine and flurries of snow. It's Good Friday so chance to catch up a bit and not work (I'm really struggling at the moment, and thinking that a month off work was just not long enough! :) ) Did you get to see the film 'The Darjeeling Limited' by any chance on the plane to India, just wondered if your train journey was anything like that? Anyway take care. JP |
| 14th March 2008 phyllis | - From: The road to Sydney Great that you made it to Mardi Gras - I was there for 2003 and it was spectacular. What an amazing trip you both are having. Next stop India? |
| 21st February 2008 Amy and Rich | WOW! - From: Adelaide and the Great Ocean Drive wow, it looks like you're having an excellent time - we're so jealous, we've not had a holiday since June last year, but thanks for rubbing it in!!!! Glad you're enjoying yourselves, keep up the contact. Lots of love Amy and Rich x |
| 11th February 2008 John and Chris | Where were your frocks and feathers? - From: Jason and Neil's Aussie Outback Adventure Beautiful landscapes but where was the accompanying sound track? So much space - seems a bit of a waste really. Where are all the bungalows and swimming pools of Ramsey Street? Glad you're still doing such amazing things to keep us entertained - not even the Great Fire of Camden Market can compete with the temperatures you are describing (we're all excited at having reached 10 degrees in the light). We were in London last weekend and were thinking of you and reminiscing about the weekend get together before you headed off on your explorations/exploits. Ta ta 4 now, love, John and Chris x |
| 7th February 2008 Sarah | school of the air - From: Jason and Neil's Aussie Outback Adventure Hi babes - if you are still in Alice - maybe try and visit "school of the air" fascinating place. Teaching lessons on Brazil at the moment and keep thinking of you both when I show my powerpoint presentations!! xx |
| 7th February 2008 John | Bush tucker trial - From: Jason and Neil's Aussie Outback Adventure Hey you two it's great to geta preview of what I'll be seeing next week...... thanks for being so considerate and filling me in on the details.....:) See you in Melbourne in just over a week. JP |
| 7th February 2008 David | - From: Jason and Neil's Aussie Outback Adventure I've got the exact same picture by the same roadsign, but then I guess everyone whoi visits Uluru does. Soooo looking forward to seeing you in Melbourne next week - give us a shout when you get to Steve's and we can arrange where to meet... Love to Steve & Mandy too. |
| 1st February 2008 Sarah | G'Day - From: Queensland cruising WOW! BEAUTIFUL! ( The scenery is not bad either!) and thank-you for bringing back lovely memories of a trip I took a few years ago too! Perfect example of a wave cut platform JT!! Take care! Big Hugs S xxxxxxx |
| 19th January 2008 John&Chris | - From: South Island We're following your every move. Just because we haven't got anything exciting to say doesn't mean we aren't excited by your stories and pix; buying 5lbs of potatoes and some cut-price swimwear in the drizzle and in the Arndale Centre this afternoon has just taken it out of us though. Continue to have fun for us, and doing all that dangerous exercise, & we look forward to the next instalment. XXX |
| 31st December 2007 john | Happy New Year - From: Christmas in the sun Actually I guess it's new year for you two already, or close enough anyway. It's only jsut over a month now until my trip begins and I'll see you around the 18/19th Feb. Can't wait. Pictures are fab btw. Beats Christmas rain here. JPx |
| 25th December 2007 Joe & Richard | Happy Christmas - From: Only in Rio ........ Wishing you both a wonderful Christmas! Off to the pub now for a liquid lunch, followed by cheese and crackers this afternoon, then off to a neighbours later for more nibbles and alcohol. Perfect! Enjoy the festivities, whatever you're up to. Take care, love Joe xxxxxx |
| 23rd December 2007 John and Chris | Exhausted (Oh! And a Ho Ho Mary Christmas) - From: North Island New Zealand Looks like you're having a fabulous and exhausting time - but not nearly as exhausting as our 3/4 hour catch up with all your blogs since November. Here's wishing you both a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year. Lots of love, safe travels, John & Chris xxxxx. Ps: We assume your alternative, carniverous diet will mean you having barbied possum, koala or Skippy for your Christmas dins? |
| 4th December 2007 Barrie | Speedos - From: Only in Rio ........ I think the photo of Neil was just so they could get the men in speedos in the background!! I want to go. Glad you're having a great time. x |
| 30th November 2007 David | - From: Only in Rio ........ I beg to differ - I'm often to be seen wandering up Kentish Town High Road in the wee small hours clad only in Speedos. |
| 29th November 2007 John | Meant to say that I - From: Only in Rio ........ Love the Neyermeyer, even if I cannot spell it. Neil Price says hello btw. Looking forward to seeing you in Feb! Will email shortly. JPx |

| 23rd November 2007 David | - From: Aqua adventures Welcome back to our world - it's been raining its arse off all week here too! Looks amazing boys. |
| 23rd November 2007 sheila rankin | you're looking good - From: Aqua adventures I am assuming you ate some of the caterpillars but what about the monkeys? Glad to see you looking so well, and sorry about the weather. It is fabulous here, crisp and sunny. My big Show next weekend and I am up to my eyes getting ready for it so no more now. Lots of Love, Sheila |
| 23rd November 2007 John | La Isla Bonita?????????? - From: Aqua adventures I was only thinking this morning that it was time for a travel blog from you two and great another Friday afternoon when I really do not want to be here, we get to share your news! JP |
| 23rd November 2007 John Newman | Memories - From: Aqua adventures Hi Both What memories you are invoking for me being at Iguazu. Interesting to see the boat from the brazilian side. So which side did you think the falls were most spectacular from? I reckoned the Brazilian... but the Argentinians did insist that their side was the most spectacular. Whatever side they are absolutely amazing anyway, and I thought they'd never be able to top Niagara! JPx |
| 13th November 2007 Graham | "What can I say" - From: Bolivia Well chaps... that’s an absolutely fantastic amount of effort you've put in to making south sea beach look like your somewhere nice... good job, never fooled me for a second... lol. Seriously, it definitely looks like you’re both having a fab time. I just wish we had one of those market stalls around here. Hope you are both well (picked up any unfortunate, unwanted stomach bugs yet... lol). Hi to the rest of the family, apologies for not to send for birthday cards etc. You’re not forgotten, honest. Well Jason, Neil... hope you continue to have a great time on your trek across the universe. All our love Graham & Sharon xxx |
| 13th November 2007 Hannah | Mine God - From: Bolivia What the hell is that God in the background? It looks like someone has half buried a kangaroo in the mine?? I know you've been eating some strange meats but really....missing you! Han x |
| 29th October 2007 brian | - From: The Inca Trial/Trail almost looks as good as Camden! You boys are certainly having an amazing experience. keep up the blogs- they cheer up a dull monday. x |
| 29th October 2007 Joanne | - From: The Inca Trial/Trail Looks absolutely top banana! Not sure how I'd feel about all those steps though!!!! I can imagine how the old hamstrings feel! You guys look so happy though and I'll keep checking up on you!!!! Lots of love xxxx |
| 26th October 2007 chris teear | - From: The Inca Trial/Trail awesome, a truly spiritual place. so,so jealous |
| 26th October 2007 John Newman | Brighten up a dreary Friday afternoon - From: The Inca Trial/Trail Wow looks amazing,. Has certainly brightened up this tedious work business here in Birmingham. Very much reminds me of the trek I did to Nepal, with porters etc. Did they mow the grass for you especially or is there a team of Alpacas hidden behind the walls somewhere? Always look forward to receiving your travel blogs. Will email soon. JPx |
| 26th October 2007 gary | Stunning! - From: The Inca Trial/Trail I can see why you'd feel a sense of accomplishment! Looks astounding! Well done! |
| 22nd October 2007 Mum & Dad | - From: Colca Canyon All I can say is that after consumming so many of those little furry things, you both deserve to be reincarnated as Puruvian Guineapigs!!! You are obvioously having a great time. Can't wait to hear about your climb on the Inka trail. |
| 21st October 2007 sheila | Strange eating habits - From: Colca Canyon It's lovely to receive your up-to-date news but I'm getting very concerned about your eating habits. Guinea pigs, alpacas, what next? I'll be sure to lock the dogs away when you come to visit next. I'm looking forward to your next adventures, the blog is almost as good as being with you. Lots of Love, Sheila |
| 15th October 2007 Gary | Nazca Lines! - From: Southbound through Peru I'm so jealous you saw those! I remember well the whole Chariots of the Gods thing from the 70's - read the book and watched the various documentaries. Great photo! |
| 15th October 2007 David | - From: Southbound through Peru Do all the nuns wear Lifesaver T-shirts? |
| 11th October 2007 TA | twilson@htec.co.uk - From: Thrills, Spills and the Jungle Finally we have your blog link! Hope that you are having fun, reading through it sounds like you are. I upset Stu's neice because of you guys, she has (had) a guiniea pig and didn't take kindly to me coating it in batter and deep frying it - Feet and Head still attached of course - Well I wanted to share in your experience! (your right it doesn't taste like chicken!!!). Joking apart, we really are envious and to see whales up close like that must have been an experience of a life time - We wonder how you will quantify it all when you finally return. Looking forward to reading more about your travels. Lots of love TA & Stu x x (And Jake of course!) |
| 29th September 2007 John & Chris, Manchester (53 30 N ) | Not jealous either - absolutely not. - From: Walking the line in Quito We're really pleased all is going well. Wish we could say we'd seen all those sights - but the only one we have vaguely in common is the 10 tonnes of flesh (-bears in Legends last weekend). Chris wants to know if they do the guinea pig in quorn or not. And how's the Spanish (and the Quechua and so on) going? Keep the urban townscape photos coming as John has started his Urban Design course and needs material for a project (he'll be sending you a questionnaire on 'Urban Form and the Quality of the Public Realm' to pass out to locals). So when's the next blog due to brighten up our hum drum lives? Carry on enjoying yourselves and soon you really will be 25 (or so). Take care, lots of love, John & Chris xxxxx |
