| 23rd July 2007 Wendy&Dave | What A Hectic Two Weeks!! - From: Adrenaline Junkies! Hi Jed & Sam, looks like you had a great time with my two sisters! I bet Linda would prefer to forget her river dunking experience! Lots of cheap food and drink and plenty of travelling around so I hear. I am a bit jealous although I would never have done any of the things you did being a devout coward! Amanda sends her love she is a bit envious of what you are doing I think. I bet it seems strange to be just the two of you after the adventurous couple of weeks. Hope you are both well and still enjoying your trip. Lots of love Wendy & Dave XX |
| 10th July 2007 DAD | Spiders!!! - From: Adrenaline Junkies! At last, The REAL Sam has written up the blog. I was beginning to suspect that you'd been kidnapped and someone else was pretending to be you, all these entries, and hardly a mention of creepy-crawlies, Still at least I know you've survived your mini-beast encounter. What is it with you and bicycle brakes Sam? You certainly seem to be jinxed eh? Nice to see Jeds Mum & aunt had such a great time, I'm just jealous that I couldn't have been there too. Be good to each other guys. Loads of Love Dad |
| 9th July 2007 jax | - From: Adrenaline Junkies! Loving the photographs, guys! Keep 'em coming! Take care, x |
