| 3rd June 2008 Andy Davis | Congratulations & Best Wishes - From: Campervan for Sale! And erm......more babies! Congratulations to you both - what timimg!!!! It's been great reading about your travels, even if I was green with envy that you managed all you have done in the last year. Who knows, maybe by the time I'm 65 I'll have got away from my desk at work again! Anyway, don't be too eager to sell the camper - once the baby/babies start arriving it may be the only holiday you can afford! All the very best, Andy |
| 2nd June 2008 Francisca from Southern Sky Chile | Congrats on making it safely back home... - From: Campervan for Sale! And erm......more babies! Hi, you two!!! Congratulations on the great news! You sure brought back an "unusual" souvenir back from your travels....hahaha.... I really enjoyed receiving your news during your journey and hope you will keep me posted on this new adventure as well. Must say I enjoyed mine so much I repeated it twice...my boys are back from Austria again and will soon start their busy ski season in Portillo, preparing once again for the South American Cup. Keep your fingers crossed and wish us luck! Our best to you also and hope the morning sickness disappears soon... watch it Rob, the sickness can pass on to fathers as well! A big hug from the whole team and especially from me... Francisca (Southern Sky Chile & Café Homero - Pucón) |

| 4th September 2007 Rob Wends | The immigrants - From: Round 2 - "New Life" in a white van! Hey China, its taken many years to hone the skills to become jobless(no sorry only out of work for a year), homeless immigrants and the local people seem to tolerate us,well......for now that is. |
| 4th September 2007 Rob Wends | Vino - From: Round 2 - "New Life" in a white van! Howzit H's(no pun intended), we do get a bit confused with the local languages however wendy now has a picture of a bottle of wine in her pocket and it seems to produce the desired results. Alls well fit and merry. How you guys doing? |
| 4th September 2007 Rob Wends | Winnebego - From: Round 2 - "New Life" in a white van! No worries Todd, I just send the mrs in the back to make the coffee. Hows it going? Where are you nowadays? Still in South America? Have you departed ways with Nick yet? |
| 3rd September 2007 Nick | Lovin the van!! - From: Round 2 - "New Life" in a white van! Nice campervan guys... luxury model by the looks of it!! Enjoy your adventures. Am v. jealous!!! |
| 2nd September 2007 James | Looky you two - From: Round 2 - "New Life" in a white van! All looking great, that's a braw wee mini-van you have, all mod cons - woohoo. It is not uncommon in the UK for Jobless, homeless immigrants to take to traveling around in white campers, eating, sleeping where they can, bothering local people; etc. - I hope your families are proud of you? Disgraceful! Naught, all looks fantastic, some great pictures - Robert, perhaps you should look for an agent and a book deal when you get back? Keep going with the prose, you bard! Wends, you look amazingly fit, tanned, healthy and hap, hap, happy... I have been a wee bit worried about some of the dangers you seem to throw yourself into, e.g. bikes/hills - enuff said...B careful Chicken. Is that another drink? LoL Take care for now Cheers James |
| 2nd September 2007 todd | nice van... - From: Round 2 - "New Life" in a white van! just don´t do what the american guy did with his new $200,000 Winnabego... He turned on the "autopilot" (cruise control) while driving down the highway, went into the back and made himself a sandwich. After the inevietable crash he sued Winnabego for not specifing otherwise in the owners manual. That is the reason why Winnebego stopped calling it the autopilot...... |
| 2nd September 2007 Heidi & Wayne | Looking good! - From: Round 2 - "New Life" in a white van! Nice van! Confused about the oceans? What language are you speaking now? Cheers, salute, prost... Have one for us, :-) Mr & Mrs H |

The aircraft you flew in looks like a Cessna 182, the aircraft I fly are similar but you may or may not no, I'm also flying twin engined aircraft now, so a little bigger than the one you guys flew in. When next you in the UK, give Heidi & I a call and we'll take you for a flight over England. I was going to say: have fun but you are already doing that, so; keep each other safe and hope to you again soon. Love, Wayne |
