you girls worry me a little bit... try not to go to strange clubs with strange men next time! china is fascinating- sounds like you saw some incredible things. I'd really like to visit. it's going through such a cultural change right now and there are so many people trying to integrate the old with the new. Enjoy Vietnam- it's supposed to be another amazing country! Amy x
Some interesting photos girls. How could they eat chickens claws!! aagh!!! This is one country I don't think I would bother visiting.
Look after each other and be careful. Lots of love Mum Sue XXX
whoose been taking the piss Sorry girls but I couldn't stop laughing when I read about the so called sleep walker weeing all over poor Lucy's clothes. That is just soo unbelievable. Then hearing about the bus windows being smashed and a nutty girl on it... Then reading about you coming across a Dingo while going to the toiet. How did u manage to keep calm by crossing your arms and staring it out? I think I would have been crossing my legs and probably scream.. ..Then reading more problems when the tide came in and you couldn't leave the campsite and when you did you got stuck in the sand. Also Sam losing her bikini bottoms...You certainly have made me laugh reading this. You will all be able to look back at this and giggle at all these events. On a good note I bet it was great having Lucy join you and being able to pat the cute little Koala bears. Just reminds me of my little Koala teddy bear. Can't wait for your next adventure :) Lots of luv Mum xxxxx
down under Hi Girls! What a brilliant time you have been having. I would love to see all what you have seen. Glad you both enjoyed Sydneys opera house. You will have some great memories. It must have been lovely meeting up with your brother Lee and sharing some of the best experiences ever. The beaches look out of this world. Just like what dreams are made of... Its a shame about the first hostel you stayed in. The people must have thought their luck had changed when you two arrived. cleaning and shopping as well as sorting out the breakfasts for them.I am glad u managed to find a nice place to stay in when you moved on and enjoyed the food. Theres nothing worse then not enjoying your food. What an adventure canoeing surfing...looking forward to the next instalment. love Mum V xxx
Beautiful Country! Hi Sam and Sam
What a wonderful time you are having. Really good photos again girls! It just makes me want to go to all these places. I would have loved to see the koalas in the hospital, they're so cute. Bring one home please! Really glad Lee came out to see you and so good to know you're both doing fine. Look after each other.
Lots of love Mum J XXXX
Awesome!! Hi Sam and Sam
What a fantastic time you must be having - swimming with the dolphins in their natural habitat, skiing, skydiving - no wonder you both have such huge smiles in every photo!! It looks such a clean country too.
Photos are superb girls - only wish I was there!!
Look after each other. Love you lots Mum J XXXX
more walking You poor girls. It seems you are forever walking and climbing. But look on the bright side - You will both be the fittest girls ever when you arrive back in England. :) You know me I don't walk anywhere...I am soo glad you managed to find a place that was similar t a hotel and have a hot shower. I could't imagine what it must be like for you both in and out of hostels with hardly any mod cons... You really have done some travelling as well. All them bus journeys crammed with hot sweaty people I do feel for you but hey! What I would do to swop places :) looking forward to your next installment. Everyone said hi and hope you are having a great time. Love you lots Mum V xxxxxxxxxxx
sky divers Hi girls wow! what can I say - New Zealand - I can't believe how much you managed to do there. Skiing, snowboardng, swimming with the dolphins, long walks up mountains and glaziers and the amazing sky dive. They must have been incredible experiences especially jumping out an aeroplane at a fantastic speed. oh my goodness! the thought of it scares me..... I know I could never do it. so I am so so proud of you both. I love all your pictures. That must have been great going to a bar where everything is made of ice. I can see you were both wearing coats. Was it really cold ? Did you both warm up once you started to dance? I was pleased to hear that you met up with some people and was sharing your experiences with. I hope they were able to help you plan your next journey. Its good to swap tales and get helpful hints. can't wait to see your next adventure. I'm loving it! loving it! loving it!speak soon Mum V xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Monkey We admit it is hard to see some of them. If you click on the pic to enlarge it and look at the bottom left hand corner very hard you can just make it out. Good Luck spotting it! xx
Madness You are absolutely mad Sam jumping from that Skytower! Very brave. I love the penguins, i am so jealous. Bet the seeing the glow worms was good, i remeber having a glow worm toy when i was little! Great pictures! Take care of yourselves. Joanna xx
Stunning!! It looks stunning there, a really clean country. How lucky are you two! But please Sam - no more jumping from Skytowers!
Love to you both, take care. Mum J XX
Hello travellers :-) How lucky are you, that sandboarding looks and sounds amazing. I agree with the monkey pic, I have also studied it for a while and can't really make it out - very clever though. You are getting to see some fantastci things girls - South America is not on my list of places to go!!!
You sound like you are having a great time. Sam was great to speak to you last week, missing you very much.
Write some more bloggs girls mwah xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Shall I sell your car Sam? You girls just never stop do you!! You both won't need cars when you return, just a pair of boots and a long stick. Loved the photos.
Take care, love Mum J XXX
Monkey I have been looking at that Monkey picture for 5 minutes and still can't make it out! The sandboarding looks fantastic guys. Glad you are having a great time. Love Joanna xx
monkey business Felt for you both when I was reading about your farewell to Patrick, Maya and Ingrid. You seemed to having great fun altogether..but I wouldn't worry you are bound to find some more friends soon. Loved the pic's of the monkey. They are sooo mischeviouse aren't they? They get up to so many tricks. Some of your photos are brilliant,especially the crazy clouds at sunset.. it just doesn't look real does it?I am glad you finally got a meal that you really enjoyed chill con carne with spices. I had to laugh when I read about the 2 minute taxi ride...you have some great memories.. looking forward to the next one. bye for now luv mum vanessa x
dynamic girls So sorry for the late comment I am finally catching up with your emails and have decided to look at your blogg. Sorry to hear that the website lost them all and you had to re-enter them. All that hard work... anyway what can I say this trip must have been unbelievable... going down mines (must say you both look the part) love the yellow outfit and mask and then being given dynamite as well (they must have been mad letting you two hold a lighted one at that ha! ha! only joking. but what an experience...and then to go to hotsprings wow! Can't wait for the next explosive story.. lots of love mum vanessa x
Love your twirling skirts Hi girls you look like you are both having a great time in your twirling skirts. I cannot imagine what you are going through seeing our other people live... so so poor but they are happy. It sounds like you had a good time even though you struggled with the language. Wow floating islands! that must have been an experience. Its strange how the children knew their way in the dark. I bet you were both scared.. Glad you was able to get some chinese food after the other stuff you had eaten. lv mum xxx
wow you did it Hi Girls wow what an amazing adventure. It must have been a wonderful experience reaching the top knowing what you had to do and go through. I was soooo worried about the pair of you. I had heard so many bad stories. I was extremely pleased when you told me you had done it. Whats this about big willy and little willy... strange names????? Glad you paid extra to get the Porters to do all your carrying I would have done the same. you should be sooo pleased with yourselves. Great pics as usual! luv mum xxxx
Ugh......shrivelled llama foetuses!! God...what strange things the Bolivian people eat, thank goodness you found The Hard Rock Cafe! (I never would have believed you'd find one in Bolivia). I love the photo of you with monkey Sam, you look so happy and I know you're both having an amazing time.
Look after each other, love you lots

Long Live The Hippies!! Hi Girls
How fantastic the amazing Inca Trail sounds! I want to go there too!! The two of you should be so proud of yourselves in achieving this adventure so far, and the way in which you have wrote it - I feel like i'm on it with you. Keep on enjoying it and look after each other.
Love you loads
