And the quality of your camera is EXCELLENT! What I want to see now is a photo of you drinking snake's blood in a dodgy corner of a market in Bangkok. But stop there. Please oh please dont talk to anyone about maps, and wind up shark fishing with a bunch of 'back to basics lets reject the modern world types and find ourselves' just because THE BEACH is nice. haha get it!!!!?>>???

You really are getting good at this and I am VERY impressed with the driving skills, although I'm pleased that I didn't get to speak to you during this trip. Not sure how I would have reacted to the top heavy van nearly tipping over. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx |

| 1st June 2006 Sam and Dan | Yoohoo! - From: Sydney - Volume 2 Hello Eric and Eleni, Sorry for taking so long to write something on this amazing website. Dan and I are in the lovely Shoeburyness - I fear no longer your favourite place in the world Eric. Sounds like you're having an amazing time - great pics too, especially liked the carrot!!! For once the sun isn't shining in Shoebury, I'm gutted as it is near enough the only reason I visit Dan. Looking forward to having you back with us for a good catch up and story-telling session. Perhaps we could light a campfire and sit around it while you entertain us with anecdotes from the rest of the universe!!!! Keep up the fun times both of you, Love Sam and Dan xxx |
| 1st June 2006 Stanley | No. 3 on the list - From: Sydney - Volume 2 Hi Guys!! My guess is Elenis holding the camera??? I'll look forward to my post card? Take care kiss kiss |
| 29th May 2006 Sarah | You learn something new every day - From: The Oz Capital Yellow, all sounds fantastic, and I didn't know that's what a merino looks like so thanks! Educational too!! You know the reason I haven't been commenting much is that, as you predicted, I am growing more and more bitter that you are in all these fabulous and exotic locations and I have to work and look at the rain. But no fear, I'm going to sunny England v soon (ever hopeful) and then even sunnier Spain so the jealousy is wearing off, slightly :-) Just think, you couly have saved all that effort going to Machu Picchu and just gone to Canberra!! Keep up the stories, lots of love xx |

| 25th May 2006 Andy | Swop Ez for a Koala - From: Me!bourne Hey Ez and El, loved your pictures of New Zealand - spectacular views. While you’re in Oz see if you can swop Ez for a Koala, when I was a kid I really wanted one as a pet and here’s my chance! Sure, we may miss Ez for a bit in the UK, but then we’ll remember we have the Koala which is just as furry and much cuter so all will be good. Andy xx |
| 23rd May 2006 Poppy | Yiasou Eric & Eleni - From: Me!bourne Hi guys, it was a pleasure meeting you both & I feel priviledged to have been given a mention in your travel diary!! I will have to print it out and take a copy to mum (Despo). The photos all look great, I can't believe you got that close to an elephant! Well, Enjoy the rest of your stay in Oz and I look forward to reading up on your adventures. P.S. Eric, we have now re-named mum's oven potatoes to "Eric's potatoes"!! |

| 4th May 2006 mum and dad | Lazy days! - From: Cruising through the islands Well - a lovely peaceful end to the tour. It looks glorious. I love the blue and green!! And to top it all - FREE LUNCH!!!!!! What more could you ask for. Congrats to both of you for entertaining us with your wonderful tour of NZ. Look forward to the next installment. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX |
| 4th May 2006 mum and dad | red hole! - From: The Best One Day Walk in New Zealand These photos are fantastic! Well done for finally making to the walk. It all looks absolutely amazing. No sarcastic comments! Just well done and what lucky people to see all of this! Eleni - your dad is getting more and more determined to see this!XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX |
| 4th May 2006 mum and dad | WOW!!!!!! - From: Eric jumps out of a plane! Well done Eric!! What a fantastic and VERY brave thing to do!! Somehow I didn't think that jumping out of an aeroplane when it wasn't firmly grounded and stationery was Eleni's favourite choice of activities! We have enough trouble trying to persuade her to go on the rides at Legoland!!!xxxxxxxxxxxx (Sorry Eleni - I know that you have inherited the valiant Skaliotis/Kleanthous genes!)xxxxxxxxxx |
| 4th May 2006 mum and dad | - From: Taupo & Rotorua I like the champagne waters. Are you bringing any back with you? Nicely cooled please!! xxxxxxxxxxxxx |
| 4th May 2006 mum and dad | - From: South to North Well done Eric!! We assume that this whole trip was a cunning plan just to give Eleni the pleasure of seeing a gigantic, pretend carrot!!! Does this mean that you wont need to buy her any more valentine presents? You seem to have about 20 years worth there!!xxxxxxxxxxxx |
| 2nd May 2006 Tash | Yeee haaa!! - From: Eric jumps out of a plane! Way to go Eric!!! Thumbs up for having ... uhmmm .... balls :-) It's a pity you couldn't get Leni to jump with you. I would have given anything to see her 'Exit' photo!!!! Keep on jumping!! Tata for now! xoxo |
| 1st May 2006 Maman | A la recherche de la montee d'adrenaline ! - From: Eric jumps out of a plane! Ou sont les photos ? Eric devant l'avion, Eric devant un parachute au sol, mais ou sont les photos d'Eric sautant de l'avion et planant comme un oiseau ? Bravo Eric, quel courage ! Le referais-tu ? J'ai quand meme hate de voir les photos. Continue a bien t'amuser ! Bisous !xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx |
| 1st May 2006 Maman | A la recherche de la carotte geante ! - From: South to North La fameuse carotte ! C'est donc de la qu'est partie l'histoire de cette carotte que vous deviez trouver a tout prix ? Bravo pour votre imagination ! Celle d'Eleni ou la tienne, Eric, ou la votre a tous les deux ? En tout cas, voila l'explication ! Merci pour les belles photos, mais aussi pour les commentaires plein d'humour ! (Pardon pour les accents qui ne veulent pas s'afficher). Bisous et bonne continuation.xxxxxxxx |
| 22nd April 2006 Uncle Colin | Wish we were there! - From: Swimming with seals! Amazing. I am embarrassed to say that this has been my first view of the journal. I am convinced this is all made up and there is an organisation that has retouched you into 'pictures of the world'. You're really somewhere in 'blighty', where by the way there are plenty of carrots. Not that I am jealous but I wish I was twenty and did not have two brats - Pauline and I would be on a 'love world trip' but probably not in a camper van. Hope the rest of the trip is exciting and wonderous and I will call again. Love from the Kleanthous's of Cambridge. |
| 21st April 2006 Tashweka | C'est fantastique - From: Swimming with seals! Wow! First gliding, them swimming with seals in shark-infested waters. Leni, I have to say that you are more adventurous than I'd previously given you credit for!! Keep having fun. Hugs ... |
| 21st April 2006 Maman | Vos aventures me fascinent ! - From: Swimming with seals! Tout d'abord, et avec un peu de retard, "Joyeux Anniversaire" Eleni ! Balades en camping-car, marcher sur un glacier, nager avec les phoques, quel programme de vacances ! Je n'imaginais pas que cela serait ainsi. Quel beau cadeau que ce voyage, toutes ces aventures et innombrables photos toujours aussi belles qu'impressionnantes ! "Cool" de se parler, hier, Eric ! Bonne continuation ! Grosses, grosses bises ! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx |
| 19th April 2006 Sarah | Germany definitely not as exotic - From: Swimming with seals! Hey!! Well, firstly wow, looks so cool and I've only had a quick look around so far, SOMEONE forgot to let me in on the email train, although i did find your email Ez just before you left with this site address, but that was it! How was i supposed to know what that meant? Thought it was some code or something to help find the Golden Carrot. Anyway, i'm so envious, have lots of reading to catch up on and find out about all your adventures. Did see that you did a tango class in Argentina, the only place for it!! I'm doing dance classes too though! Tango is great, i reckon all of us will be famous soon. Email later. Have fun, although i don't need to tell you that, and take care Lots love xxx |
| 18th April 2006 anonymous | - From: Vive la France! Hi, Happy Belated birthday! Best Wishes Kirsti |
| 17th April 2006 Tom Oakley | Happy Birthday and Happy Easter! - From: Vive la France! Just a quick note to say Happy Birthday and Happy Easter!

| 17th April 2006 Stuart | I'd rather have a bowl... - From: It's in the Guiness Book of Records! Sorry I haven't commented for so long but just finished first set of exams (I think they went well). Now gotta catch up with your adventures. I must admit I have just been looking at the pictures - looks like a lot of reading ahead for me to catch up! Did you ask what the Ausdtralian Coco Pops song was Eric? Hope everything is going well. Take care! |
| 17th April 2006 mum and dad | - From: Vive la France! happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear eleeeniiiiiiiii, happy birthday to you!! Well... I have to say that even though you were thousands of miles away from downtown Norbury - never happened before on your birthday! - where you were looks great!! What a very pretty place to relax and enjoy your special day. The pretend Antarctica looks really good and what is that multi-limbed creature clinging to the rock?!! xxxxxxxxxxxx |
| 17th April 2006 mum | - From: Milford Sound Love the photos here. So many sheep - no wonder they keep sending us their lamb. The picture of the satrfish dining is great! Thank you for the very interesting facts on starfish! Do their eating patterns resemble union nights at any uni campus? No.. don't go down that road!! xxxxxxxx |
| 17th April 2006 mum and dad | - From: Walking on thick ice What a fantastic walk!! It looks so amazing and the blue sky against the ice is unbelievable! Well done - not sure that the bits with the holes looks completely safe!! Was it not easy to fall through?!! N.Z. looks very dramatic! Keep the fun going and stay safe. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx |
| 17th April 2006 Lil Dave | Boom Boom! - From: It's in the Guiness Book of Records! I see Eric is recreating his favourite bit of the Smooth Criminal video. He loves that song! Happy Easter! I guess New Zealand must have been the first country in the world to have Easter, as it is near Easter Island. |
| 12th April 2006 Maman | Aventures, sensations, souvenirs ! - From: The day of adventures! "Paragliding " absolument impressionnant ! Et c'est Eleni qui a voulu avoir le frisson des hauteurs ? Cela t'a plu aussi, Eric, j'imagine bien. Tant de sensations et d'aventures ! les photos sont toujours aussi superbes. Elles seront d'incroyables souvenirs lorsque vous serez de retour. La vie en camping-car doit effectivement te rappeler nos vacances en caravane en France et en Europe. Bonne continuation, les petits, et surtout amusez-vous bien ! Grosses bises, xxxxxx! |
| 6th April 2006 Buntyman | olaa - From: Waving good-bye to South America ola guys, it turns out I may well be in SE Asia this Summer so let me know when you'll be about and i may well let you in on the secret of my hidden beach, where we smell of fish and go to bed at 9! |
