| 24th January 2007 Kat | - From: Still alive..... Hey guys - I never went to Koh Sumui, we stayed in Koh Phangnan which was really nice and went to the full moon party there which was one of the most random experiences of my life! Still, the rest of your Thailand trip sounds like you've had a great time - and those elephants!! Wow! You don't get to do that everyday eh?!! Cannot wait to see you next week - hope you're not too upset about leaving. Have missed you loads and cannot wait to see all the pics and videos! Love you xxx |
| 23rd January 2007 Linzi | - From: Day 65 to 67 - Elephant Sanctuary Hope Phil took a picture of you on the Elephant Shell, I can just see it now........! xx |

| 23rd January 2007 PhilAndShell | Re: Koh Samui - From: Still alive..... Quote from Shep: "Ah that will be Koh Samui we all know and love" Really?!? |
| 23rd January 2007 PhilAndShell | Re: Samui - From: Still alive..... Nah we didn't even bother with Koh Phangnan matey; we'd been told by several people (maybe correctly or incorrectly) that it was just as bad. Apparently there was a "black moon party" but after the horrors of Koh Sumui we couldn't be bothered with it to be perfectly honest. Maybe another time we'll venture there? The marine park was a much needed escape from Koh Sumui but the place is littered with washed up rubbish! Nice place; just needs a clean! |
| 23rd January 2007 PhilAndShell | It's gone too quick! - From: Still alive..... Hey spanna! Looking forward to seeing you too, but not the english weather, it looks horrible! See you very very soon - love shelley |
| 23rd January 2007 Mik | Samui - From: Still alive..... Totally agree with you and Uncle Travelling Matt aka Michael Palin aka Shep. Samui is the pits, hated it. Especially after Chiang Mai. Our beach wasn't too bad (2nd time around) on Samui but Phangnan was better. Do any raving at the Full Moon Party? I wish I'd have gone to the marine park but there was a bad storm the day me and shep were supposed to go. Enjoy peeps. |
| 23rd January 2007 anna | not long now!! - From: Still alive..... Hi guys can't believe 3 months is nearly over, you've fitted so much in, it all sounds amazing. Bet you don't want to come home now!! I'm pleased you are though! Can't wait to see you. Enjoy your last few days, loads a love Anna xx |

| 9th January 2007 PhilAndShell | Re: Sounds Ace! - From: Day 55 - New Years Eve in Sydney Hi Jez! Yeah we are great thanks; really enjoying the Thai food at the moment! Yup it was pretty good but not worth an expensive flight from the uk *just* to see the fireworks. However, there is so much to do in and around Sydney that it would make a great new years break. :o) |

| 22nd December 2006 PhilAndShell | Re: You'll be back, believe it! - From: Day 34 - Drive to Christchurch Yup; we know we'll be back! There are loads of tramping and climbing I'd (Phil) like to do on another visit. Yes,I heard you where all going back to NZ again. I hope you all have a great time - and hopefully the weather will better for you; we arrived at the end of one of the coldest/snowest winters they've had for years so where caught between a battle between winter and summer. As for the activities : your never too old :o)) |
| 22nd December 2006 PhilAndShell | Re: Yay! - From: Day 34 - Drive to Christchurch Hi Chris - thanks for the comment! Yup, we visited the Church of the Good Shepherd on day 33 - its a very picturesque place set but I wasn't quite in the right mind to appreciate it fully as I'd just received an email about my grandads death. As for the photos - struggling to find time to upload! Oh, and we couldn't afford to do the antartic center either due to our budget! |
| 21st December 2006 anonymous | You'll be back, believe it! - From: Day 34 - Drive to Christchurch Hi u2, We are back in N Zealand in Feb, this time to the north island, before meeting up with Graham and Jane in Nelson.

Did you ever get to the Church? If you're still in Christchurch - go visit the Antarctic Centre (I think it's over by the airport) - it's fun way to spend an hour or two! Great blog! C. |

| 10th December 2006 PhilAndShell | Re: And the bravery award goes to.... - From: Day 27 - Canyon Swing ....The bravery award should probably go to Shelley! I kacked my pants! Yeah pictures are a pain to sort out: finding decent computers, with card readers or dvd readers - and trying to find time is nuisance too (there are much better things to be doing then spending our time travelling on the internet!) |

| 29th November 2006 toni lister | Hi New Zealand! - From: Day 20 - Aotearoa (and rain) Hi guys! I was just ranking some photos on the Travelblog site, & several of yours popped up. I was viewing the New Zealand/South Island ones because I was feeling a bit homesick over here in London. It was awesome to see your pics of Nelson & the Abel Tasman National Park - my own backyard! I can almost see my house - haha! It looks like you had good weather then (& took some great photos). Sorry to see that the weather hasn't been so great more recently, but hope you are enjoying your trip anyway. Good luck! Toni xx |
