Hiya Hi Micky and Girlies. Sounds like you're having a brilliant time and so sad it's all coming to an end soon :-(. What will we all do without the tropical travel blog email in our inbox on a Monday morning to lift our mood? Did you make it to Raffles to have a Singapore Sling? If not, next time!! Take care Hxxx
Jesus, tho leeches and scorpians! Could you imagine what i would have been like, especially after my pathetic behaviour with the horseflies on Fraser, haha.
You are all looking gorgeous in your photos, and once again the photos are amazing.
Hilarious about being chucked out of the taxi. I especially like the omagone you guys with your bags in tow, ff-ing and blind-ing no doubt.. or maybe that would just be me?!! :-) hehe.
Love you all. Ally xxx
Look Good Hi Girls, As ever another brilliant blog in keeping with the experiences you are all having. Hopefully from Thailand to Hong Kong you will at last be able to look good in your photos as the hair straighteners should have arrived with Chris! He has made 4 consecutive flights to get them to you after Richard's initial journey from Bedford to Aspley Heath and it must have increased his luggage load considerably, as he usually travels with just 7 kg!!! Have a fantastic time in Thailand. Love you and miss you loads, xxxxxxxxxxxxx
o my gosh.. i have just looked at the photos on here.. and just clicked that it was my old maths teacher.. mrs mcnaughton!! haha how strange but so so cool!! the hot water tub looks amazing and so nice that you met the boys from home!! i miss you all :( not long now though!! everytime i read your blogs, i cant help but wish that i was there experiencing it all with you!! keep having fun... gradually one by one the girls are all coming home from uni. just need you three to complete the pack! miss hearing your voices! love you all!! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
'Wicked Vans!' Another great blogg girls! Fantastic experiences yet again. We're so jealous! One day when we're old and grey (cue for a song!) ....who knows maybe we'll follow your route, though I dare say it couldn't match the time you are having.
Massive thanks to Brenda and Sam for all their kindness,
Have a great time in Fiji. and enjoy the sun. Missing you so much but the time now seems to be flying. As always take care all of you xxxxx
What a great experience! Have loved reading all your blogs - getting some good ideas for our retirement jollies - keep it coming. Many thanks for your post card Sarah. We are off to Eagle House tomorrow for some sisterly bonding and holiday planning. I am sure your adventures will feature in the conversation and we'll drink a toast or two to the "Girlies".
Lots of love, Rich and Jude.xxxxxxxxxx
Wow Glad everyone has survived all the traumas. What an experience you are having. The weather at Milford Sound was wet and chilly when I was there...............and I was in a big beautiful boat!!!!!!!!!!! Kimberley, you will come back a changed girl,so full of confidence and knowledgeble about other communities and how to deal with problems, big time. Sorry about the bungy jump,,,,,but you do know that the rope would have broken on your jump, so that was lucky for you,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,.sorry, just joking, bad taste!
It all makes me want to visit NZ again. Lots of love
Nan
!!!!!!!!!!!
1,2,3...Bungy! Yeah girls! So happy you did the Nevis! Kim - u will have to come back over and do it with me! U girls sound like u are still having an awesome time, Mickey I hope ur melon (head) is ok! Photos from NZ are so beautiful! Cant wiat to hear of your trip from the North! Love u ladies and miss u lots! MWA xoxox
Campervan It's reassuring to see the female brain on the driver's side as it's obvious who's in control. I don't suppose the other side warrants a photo!!
Thanks Hi Girls, I just wanted to say thank you so much to all your friends and friends' mums and dads for looking after you so well during your travels in Oz. It was especially nice to be shown different areas by local people, who have obviously put themselves out for you and to put up with seeing you twice Nicky must be a star. I guess you've offered to return the hospitality when all your friends come to England, so let me know when to expect these 37 friends and I will clean the caravan specially for them!! Lots of love from an envious Mummy xxx
xxx Thanks for the blog guys, it has been a while since we'd had a blog. I am currently at work, and it is pouring with rain outside, as it has been for the last week, but your blogs have cheered me up (altho I have yet to read the NZ one, but i'll get on that when everyone goes out for their fag break)
I miss travelling around so much, you don't understand. I'm really bummed I didn't experience the 2nd leg of Aus with you, I really am. I bet the East Coast just seems like half a world away now, don'tyou think? You have done/seen so much since then. The photos look brilliant as ever, the only thing that is missing is that I am not in them :-( Ok, i am going to stop moaning now - i've got work to do!!!
Love and miss you so much. xxx
Hiya Hiya Micky and girlies. Sounds like you guys are having a brilliant time. Loving reading your travel blog [especially as it's peeing it down here!]. If you make it to the North Island, Dee and I totally recommend a trip to Whangarei [just North of Auckland]. It's a fairly basic town but they do diving trips to The Poor Knights Islands, which was one of the best experiences of our whole life! Stay at the Bunkdown Lodge as the people were really nice there!!! Take care Hxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Nevis - u betta have done it! Hey girlies... so glad u made it safe n' sound and that u got to experience the 'teapots.' Im writing now hoping u did the Nevis, it is incredible! Jst quickly a few places i went that I recommend if ur interested: Fox Glaciers (heli hike is expensive but u gotta do it, unreal banana peal!) Milford Sound - see if u can do part of the milford track if ur up for a hike! In the North bay of Islands and the Tongario crossing - u pass an active volcano, great trek!
So glad ur in NZ spewing i miss u girls there, il be over in July :( neva mind. Hope u girls are having a great time and not pulling eachothers hair out lol - stay cheeky, talk soon MWA! xoxo
Ok...as if adandoning me, travelling around th world and seeing the most beautiful places ever visited by man isn't enough for you people, now you hav to go and see the neighbours set without me?? I mean, hurt, only skims the surface on my feelings right now. I hope you told Dylan you hava great friend with the same surname, then I might forgive you. Humpgh. Lots of love from your feeling betrayed and sorry for herself sitting in pyjamas contemplating exams pint-sized friend, Steph xxxxx p.s. Really glad to see your having an amazing time and I'm missing you all greatly keep th brilliant blogs coming
To all Eagle House Gappies What a great time you're still having - so jealous! Hope all the gaps are still keeping up with your bloggs. A huge thanks to you all and of course to your parents for giving the girls such fantastic hospitality and no doubt saving them a bob or two into the bargain!
Camper van is really special. not too conspicuous ha ha! Drive safely and enjoy meeting some more special friends in New Zealand. Give them our best wishes. Lots of love 2 u all.xxx
amaaaaaazing girls, your travels sound sooo super super terrific fantastic unbelievably awesome and good...can't quite believe you are in new zealand already! i have just got home from a long, busy and grotty shift at work (5am uk time) and reading your blog has cheered me up no end. so i guess it's late afternoon where you are and i'm lying in bed wondering what you are up to. surely not the same as me - i want to shoot all the blasted singing birds outside my window and wishing it wasn't getting light already and wondering how i'm EVER going to sleep after drinking far too much red bull! aaaaanyway, keep up the brilliant blogging and i'm thinking of you lots and missing my baggins terribly. love to you all, dani xxx
N.Z. What wonderful experiences you are having, plus all the ones you dont tell us about!!!!!!!
Do go to the Agrishow in Rotorua, its very funny. also see glowworm caves, boiling mud, kiwis, and when you meet up with a flock of sheep in a narrow country road, you will have to decide whether you ram them or do a 'ewe' turn!! (sorry)
So many interesting sights to see in N.Z. I envy you all
Love Nan
Half Way Hi Girlies, I have just worked out that Wednesday is half way through your trip. I will then be able to start counting down the days until your return! Emma's funky flares and glitzy glamour party went well. We didn't recognise Jeremy in his big hair wig and moustache and Emma looked absolutely gorgeous in her purple flares outfit, but the person who stunned us most was grandad, who was dressed as Rod Stewart, in a red snakeskin flared suit with long wig and sunglasses! He was just amazing! Love and miss you, Mum xxx
The outback sounds bloody amazing. And the pictures are stunning. I really wish I could be there to experience with you. It really does look like the centre is such a contrast to the East Coast - a shame I couldn't have done both :-(
And for the 100th time, please please please can someone give me the flight deetz and flight times for Fiji, otherwise i won't be coming at this rate!!
Love you and miss you lots, xxx
what an amazing trip Thank you so much for keeping us in touch. Only one travelblog has got through but we met your parents at rugby, Sarah, and they brought us up to date. What interesting things you've seen and what a brilliant social life! We were fascinated to read about it. We would much rather be where you are than -well, you can guess what is happening tomorrow. (Training Day before the beginning of term!) We've been enjoying the sun. Also Charlotte had a week's exciting experience before Easter riding across the desert in Jordan. She was in a group of 12 who got on very well. Scenery was spectacular as in the (rather old) film Lawrence of Arabia. Anyway, enjoy your time in New Zealand.
And thanks again for keeping touch. With our love. The frickers
Keeping Up Hi Girlies, I get used to thinking of you in one place and before I know it, you've moved on to the next one. Where are those Bedford boysies? Are they blogging? You may need some tips on Thailand!! Have fun trekking in 35 degrees. It's been 24 here! Love you and miss you loads, Mum xxx
