Fun... You guys sound like you're having fun, despite the freezing and windy conditions in places! I'm very much wanting to know more about this guard sheep (from a blog or two ago)...it sounds much like a guard bird I have (refering to the lulling then pouncing). I am wondering if you guys think they'd make a good couple and if you think they would is there a chance of going back, getting the sheep and smuggling it home?? If no smuggling, just post it lol
Seriously you guys sound like you're having a blast! Can't wait til you're home so you can tell us about it and we can catch you up on all the goings on here!
Take care guys!!
Much love Naomi, Myk (and Rod :p)
Shower and Steak? Hey I know you two! It seems everyone I met at Casa Cecilia has a travelblog. Steak and Burger....What about the killer stew you guys concocted from local ingredients?! Im the guy with the stolen wallter... I saw you two as well on the plane back to Santiago, did you sightsee there or continue to some other place? Hope all is well, cheers!
Deformed skulls To deform the skulls they used to use wood and tie it to babies heads so as they grew they would grow into the correct shape.
Glad TOM is still going ahead, say Hi to all of them for me! I have to admit I do think about it.
Amazing guys. Quite envious. Getting the travel bug again. Gabrielle is off to Italy for all of 2009 as part of her International Studies degree, so has started learning Italian. Next year June and I will too as we certainly hope to visit her.
Keep having great times. Stay safe. Look forward to seeing you both. Paul
Alpaca Lunch ?? Makes our diet sound very straight and boring, having just had biscuits and cheese.
How do they distort the heads?
These and many other questions are presenting themselves. I read your adventures with fascination and and envy.
School hols are a blessing as always. Am booked in for a training day for TOM in May
What with your travels in S America and my daughters in NW China I feel as if I am travelling with you all. Well I can delude myself anyway.Safe Travel

awesome photos Thanks for posting all of the photos on the blog - they are awesome! You seem to be having a great time and experiencing some amazing things. Love the cricket game in the salt flats! I hope that you are both well and look forward to seeing you in about a months time.
Love Kelly
little green monster Words can't express how jealous I am! The highlight of my day has been doing the laundry. Also, thanks for your post card from Cinque Terre. I saw the photo and squeeled and jumped up and down in reminiscent excitement. As we went there on our '05 trip, it brought back great memories. I wonder if cute pizza chef and waiters that showed us a good time still work at our favourite restaurant there? :)
Taxi driver... Hi guys, I apologise for Chris being your taxi driver...had I realised he was driving taxis in foreign countries I would have warned you lol
You guys seem to be having such an awesome time and it is so great to see pics!!
Myk and I went back to dancing 2 weeks ago with the chicky from idol. Definitly one of my better decisions! This week is week three of lessons with her and we have learned more in the last couple of weeks that we did in years with Kasey!!
Oh yeah, I started seeing a guy about 2 weeks ago, Rodney. Long story short, he spoiled me on valentines day, he spoiled me last weekend and looks like this weekend will be much of the same! I'll catch you guys up on all of it another time though!
Had a few cooler days here but now it's all warm again! Aunty Myra is jetting off to Tassie next week for about 7 days...she's not even excited!!
I have to go take some tops up for her so I'll do that now!
Take care and much love
Naomi and Myk xxoo
Hello, from a fellow travelblogger! I'm going to be traveling to Italy in a month or two and was wondering if you could give me some advice on getting around. I want to see...well, everything...and thought that a train pass would be easiest. The only one I've seen offers just three days within two months - I'll be in Italy for a week and want to travel more than that! I'm also a student. Any advice? Email: travel_goddess@hotmail.co.uk
Hey Guys You guys seem like you are having the time of your lives. And I'm am so happy for you both after the crap that you have been through last year.
You are making us both want to be there and we are now counting down to our honeymoon quicker than ever. . . . . . . Keep posting pictures, it's fantastic!!!! Talk soon, take care xoxoxo
Jealous...again Well guys...what can I say? I'm jealous...more jealous than before!! You guys seemt o be having such a great time. And coffee made 'properly'...I'll have one or two of those thanks! Ben, you better be learning how to make it properly cause I am expecting a 'properly made' coffee when you guys get home!!!
School went back for Myk 2 days ago...she is in year 2 and got homework on the first day (Isn't that illegal or something?!) She is in a class that has 2 teachers...Mrs Rae is a great teacher but I've heard Mrs Freeburn is a bit nasty. Not to mention the long red plait in her hair haha.
Well...it's 7.45am and I have to finish getting stuff ready for Myk to go to school!
More pics!!!
Love Naomi (and Mykaela) xxoo
Finally You Guys Are Together Hi guys!
So glad you are both together now!! Hope you guys had a good Australia Day, not that either of you were in Australia lol.
Dan, you sound like you're having a great time and really learning a lot. It sounds so exciting. I'm sure it's more exciting now with Ben there with you!
Ben, find the barrista...give him the old what for lol. No man hits on another mans missus and lives to tell the tale lol.
I just spent a couple of nights in Sydney...well Blacktown...while Myk was with her dad. I met a wonderful guy. Will fill you in later lol
Sick of pizza...is that even possible?? And nutella...well Dan, you'll be loving that...I remember you having those little tubs of nutella almost daily at school :p.
Well, I'm going to bed so you guys enjoy and keep us update...dying to see the pics!!
Love Naomi (and Myk too).
P.S. School goes back on Tuesday for Myk...big 2nd grade WOOHOO!!
Postcard Hi Dan
Just wanted to let you know we got your postcard yesterday. Thank you soooo much!! Keep them coming :D
Stay safe, Naomi and Mykaela xxoo
It sounds pretty... Hey Dan!
I'm not a church person, as you know, but after seeing travel shows the churchs over seas are gorgeous and are so worth going to. I'm jealous you're getting free guided tours lol
The weather here has been bloody hot! Yesterday was 37 and they're expecting it to get over 40 over the weekend!! I'm sure Ben has filled you in though lol.
Glad to hear you're having such a great time!!
Naomi (and Mykela) xxoo
Keep up the smiling!!! Hi Dan, I'm sorry it has taken me so long to post a message. Rod and I arrived back from Tassi on the weekend so I'll have access to a computer all the time now. It sounds like you are having such a wonderful adventure. I am now up to date with all of the info on your blog and I look forward to reading alot more. Of course you are irresistable to Italian men!!!! They're no match for Ben though. I had to laugh when you said you missed out on the chocolate store. We also missed out on chocolate.......the Cadbury factory in Tassi was all booked out and they don't even let you in to the shop to buy anything unless you are on a tour. Bummer!!! My hips and thighs are thankful though. I'm really glad you have made some nice friends over there. I can't wait to hear more about Italian school....take care...missing you very much,
Love Erin
unbelieveable!! WOW Dan it's unbelieveable that you are finally over there. From the blogs you have written so far it sounds like you are having an awesome time and it's just great that you are finally doing something for yourself!!! And all those hotties after you................i think you should send some my way and stop being greedy ur already married!!!!lol! Hope school is going well and that you are being a punctual and studious.........student lol! learning heaps and meeting new friends..............so jealous! Make the most of it you totally deserve it!
ciao for now
Mishelle......
Home misses you too! Hi! I'm still so jealous!!!! Rome, the chapel and a love interest, ohhh to be not big bellied!!! We're going to find out the sex of the baby next week, so i will email you!!!!! School sounds great! Your own apartment....You're so chic, now!!!! What are the ashes? just kidding, but really is it over? Keep having fun, don't forget i live through you now...
Sunburn... Watch out for the Nonna's and babies, they're all mafia lol Just kidding!
I was starting to worry that something had happened to you as it had been a few days since you'd blogged. Thank god you're ok!
I can't say I ever imgined you as a wild boar hunter but I'm very proud of you, even if you didn't catch a boar lol.
Cherish the cool weather, how does 2 days in a row of 40c sound?? Too hot? Yes, wayyyyy to hot!! We went kayaking with Linda (Lisa's mum)at Shoal Bay...well Myk went kayaking and I sat on the beach. It was hot but the breeze from the water was so cooling. Needless to say, even smothered with sunscreen, I ended up burnt...not just burnt...BURNT! I have been in pj's for 3 days cause anything else is too painful to wear! With your fair skin you'd be burnt severely!!
I'm jealous of your pizza eatings! I have been told a thousand times 'No one does pizza like the Italians'!
Well, time to head off, sweating like you wouldn't believe!!
Look after yourself and keep in touch...stay safe!
Naomi (and Mykaela) xxoo
Ben is an Evironmental Consultant and Danielle is a high school Drama/ English teacher. This blog will follow our long awaited adventure around the world. We have a dog at home that we must leave behind for this adventure (Rosie-she's so cute). We are outdoors, camping and hiking types but not adrenaline junkies. This trip is a challenge that we are both looking forward to.... full info
