| 16th August 2009 Mum & Dad | - From: Cambodge Water buffalo hide jam and now tarantula - some people have all the fun... In fact, cleaning out for you at home, we have discovered plenty of spiders - should we save them for a supper one evening? Temples look atmospheric and transport seems less frenetic. |
| 16th August 2009 Parry | Cambodibodi - From: Cambodge I'm proper done up that you've enjoyed Cambodibodi as much as everyone always seems to! That sunrise photo literally took my breath away...hope you're having Bali fun! x |
| 12th August 2009 Mum & Dad | - From: Southern Vietnam Thought our Ryanair flight back from Rodez was fairly basic - but all things are relative... After all that rain, at least you are probably drying out by now in Lombok! Enjoy! |
| 5th August 2009 Hoochman Parry | Vietnamazing - From: Northern Vietnam What an experience. Gutted that you had to miss Halong Bay but as its the only thing you've had to give up on the whole trip you've done pretty well, plus seen one bay, seen em' all! Can't wait to see you guys! Parry x P.S. Is it wrong that I really like that Socialist poster? Maybe having a boyfriend from the former Soviet Bloc is taking its toll... |
| 29th July 2009 Mum & Dad | Turned out nice again - From: Laos So at last your weather has started to compete with ours... Rich and varied experiences yet again, from massages to monks to water buffalo hide jam - brilliant! |
| 26th July 2009 sue | beer - From: Laos strange that every where you have been seems to sell beer of some sort---------------don't forget to bring the recipe for the chilli and rotted waterbuffoloe hide jam sounds yummy lots of love sue |
| 17th July 2009 Mum & Dad | - From: Chang Mai and Down the Mekong Food, beers & markets - could be at home... Temples look stunning (but what's a tuk-tuk?) Enjoy! |
| 16th July 2009 sue | - From: Chang Mai and Down the Mekong i'll be sorry when you come home as i am enjoying the trip so much [the slow boat reminded me of a trip on the Llangollen canal] I am keeping my eye on the dukes family they are all behaving and not getting too stresssed. You won't believe how much Poppy has grown/changed. Enjoy the rest of the trip I think that Bali is one of the loveliest places I have been to very romantic love you lots |
| 7th July 2009 Mum & Dad | - From: Singapore Another blog already! complete with more details of food experiences... Sounds as if you're having a great time still. No beaches to make us jealous this time, though. |
| 6th July 2009 Jon & Mel | Yuk to leeches! - From: KL and Our Date with an Ape! Please make sure you don't bring any leeches home with you! They sound awful! We can't wait to see how brilliant Phil will be at drawing monkeys now! |
| 6th July 2009 Mel and Jon | Heroes in a half shell... - From: Turtles, Elephants and a Nice Cup of Tea! Turtle Power! xxx |
| 5th July 2009 Mum & Dad | - From: Turtles, Elephants and a Nice Cup of Tea! Turtles and fish look fantastic - what an experience, swimming along with them - and away from the tourist trail too (but you've also had a taste of that, it seems). That beach looks idyllic - can't imagine you wanting to leave that for Sheffield - what do you reckon, Hevs? |
| 2nd July 2009 Mum & Dad | - From: KL and Our Date with an Ape! Glad Sepilok was such a success; after the digeridoo, we're now awaiting the DHL package containing a baby orangutan... |
| 30th June 2009 Hevtington | Monkeymonkeymonkeymonkey - From: KL and Our Date with an Ape! Having had to watch that damn orangutan screensaver for nigh on two years, I know how much you two must have been spazzing out about this! Looks pretty amazing even for someone who isn't particularly a friend of the apes, and the turtle thing sounds wicked! Phenomenal photo of the towers too Phillis....Missing you both! x |
| 28th June 2009 JohnMarcelo | LoL - From: Bohol and Malapascua Nice trip! That pronounciation thing was ridiculous; my parents who grew up in the Philippines mix up P and F. Anyways did you try banana ketchup?? Cow dung and dog dung is famous everywhere lol.... and did u notice about the died frogs on the road after the rain... Thanks for sharing!! |
| 24th June 2009 jon mel and poppy. | nice one! - From: Bohol and Malapascua 50p G&T mum must be proud of you! Also, the underwater shot shows you have really been working on your leg extension, much improvement over the New Zeland cartwheel. 8/10. All looks plipping pantastic! |
| 22nd June 2009 Hevs | Shits and giggles - From: Bohol and Malapascua I was literally laughing out loud and reading parts of this to my flatmates and their Aussie mates...the Carpenters?! Seriously? Please let Phil know that my boss's boyfriend's penchant for Phil Collins was quite the point of hilarity at work this week. It should soothe him to know that he's not alone in suffering from that terrible affliction. I do like his maroon redneck shirt though, it's very Canadian. Awesome photos, as ever! Hevs - Looking down on creation... |
| 20th June 2009 Nick | Nice - From: The Pleasures and Pains of Palawan Just gone through loads of these blogs - all looks and sounds good. Glad you're having a great time. Nick |
| 17th June 2009 Hilary & David | Paradise - From: The Pleasures and Pains of Palawan Hi- We've both got a sever case of envy of your experiences. Good to see you in what definitely looks like paradise. The lagoons look so inviting - swimming in Wrexham doesn't have the same feel somehow. Enjoy it all. Love Hilary & David |
| 16th June 2009 Mum & Dad | - From: The Pleasures and Pains of Palawan Can't have the Paradise without the Purgatory, I suppose... but doesn't it look worth it!! |
| 15th June 2009 Jon & Mel | Travel nightmares - From: The Pleasures and Pains of Palawan And we thought public transport in the green horse was bad! Despite the transport chaos the rest of your trip sounds brilliant and these photos look amazing. Love to you both x |
| 14th June 2009 Hevs | Wahhh - From: The Pleasures and Pains of Palawan Ah, the perils of travel! I remember waiting 4 hours for a 12 hr bus in Thailand, and three of us being taken seperately on the back of mopeds to the last of three different 'bus stations' - but then again they're all funny stories after the grinding resentment against the transport system has subsided! This made me smile a lot - it seems like you're having idyllic moments that you'll always remember, and the photos are stunning. Miss you guys loads, and from the weight of the bags I assume you're doing your usual overbuying! Can't wait for the next one :D x Love you!! |
| 5th June 2009 Claire | - From: Manic Manila and Beautiful Banaue first of all - el that is an extremely dodgy looking hat you're wearing in one of those photos.. the breakfast sounds like a classic - takeaway and pastries, what more could you want?! The Phillipines look so green and must be a totally different feel to the Western world - i'm loving the tribal guys! so jealous you're both ambling around and i'm doing exams (though i'd like to say it's been pretty damn hot here - bet you're jealous?!) will email soon and tell you all my news, i finish on the 10th whoop! lots of love to you both xxx ps phil's photos are amazing - everyone should take a photographer with them travelling! |
| 3rd June 2009 Mum & Dad | - From: Manic Manila and Beautiful Banaue What a contrast to everything else you've done so far. Interesting transportation... was he really called Steve?! Rice terraces look amazing. |
| 21st May 2009 Mum & Dad | - From: Great Barrier Reef and Around Queensland Suspect Phil has wriiten this entry?? with its emphasis on food... Snorkelling looks wonderful, but Mum liked the joey photo best, of course Amazing stuff! |
| 20th May 2009 Hevs | Several points... - From: Great Barrier Reef and Around Queensland 1) Muchos free stuff: well done! If you find a Home Bargains there I will love you forever 2) Coffee, scone, jam, cream.....very jealous 3) Butterfly Sanctuary: the very idea freaks me out 4) Wallaby / joey picture: amazing, and looks sort of creepy, like a furry cute version of the famous scene in Alien You look like you're having the time of your lives, and finding stuff that other people might not do. Keep it up!!! x |
| 12th May 2009 Mum & Dad | - From: Tropical Queensland: Deadly Aussies - From Crocs to Cassowaries Fantastic blog entry yet again. These forest huts seem amazing. Glad to know you've decided against swimming with crocodiles... |
| 1st May 2009 Hevs | - From: To the Wild Wild West! Food Alley!!! It sounds like heaven for guzzlers like us! Thanks so much for the postcard! It made me giggle, and Louise particularly appreciates having possums in the house (though she reckons they're not as good as Aussie possums...) |
| 1st May 2009 sue | looks a bit cold - From: To the Wild Wild West! the glaciers look soooo beautiful viewed from england in the sun!!glad you are having such a great time lots of love. p.s. give my regards to the daintree and watch out for cassowaries |

| 27th April 2009 Mum & Dad | - From: Kayaking + Camping in the Abel Tasman Sounds a tremendous adventure (though Mum could have done without the tent and Dad without the waves...) Sunrises look wonderful. |
| 26th April 2009 Hevs | - From: Kayaking + Camping in the Abel Tasman Amazing photos guys, and glad to hear you didn't have to do any eskimo rolls, or "inuit / first nation rolls" as they're probably called now! |
| 19th April 2009 gilberts | sleepy seals - From: A Whale of a Time! No different from home then - plenty of sleepy seals here, even snoring ones... These blogs get better and better - what fantastic experiences! |
| 19th April 2009 J,M,P | Wow! - From: A Whale of a Time! What fantastic pics, can't believe how close you were to seals, looks amazing. Poppy was trying to roll over today, she's not quite made it, but watch this space! |

Lovenhugs xxxxxxxxx |
| 15th April 2009 Claire | Blog Technology - From: Steaming Hot Springs + Snowcapped Volcanoes: Central North Island Me and tes have been discussing how this blog thing works - we finally figured it out so have just caught up on your travels so far! first of all i'd just like to say that the 2nd of April was great, you've missed out on a once in a lifetime day. can't believe you were an hour out for at least a week... though in fairness i have done something similar, time zones are confusing!all the beaches look awesome (mountians = walking and you know my thoughts on that)- i'm particualrly impressed with the cartwheel photo, that has to be the best cartwheel you've ever done!! i'm also loving the gloves. keep us updated! xxx ps your neice's literacy skills are amazing |
| 15th April 2009 Poppy Rose | Telling the time - From: Steaming Hot Springs + Snowcapped Volcanoes: Central North Island Hi Aunty Elly and Uncle Phil, I can't believe you have been all the way to NZ and got bad weather. I've been to Anglesey and it was hot, hot, hot -I even got my first sun tan! Sea was a bit cold though! Your pictures look fantastic - we all love the blog, it sounds amazing! p.s I haven't learn't to tell the time yet either! |
| 13th April 2009 sue | wish i was there - From: Steaming Hot Springs + Snowcapped Volcanoes: Central North Island it sounds just amazing enjoy |
| 13th April 2009 Mum & Dad | - From: Steaming Hot Springs + Snowcapped Volcanoes: Central North Island Still looking forward to your essay entitled 'A Day in the Life of a Prawn'... Shame about Tongariro and snow, but Rotoiti seems to have lived up to expectations. Keep the blog going - it's fantastic, We get up each morning and on goes the computer just in case there's a new entry. In the meantime: enjoy! |
| 12th April 2009 Hevs | Whoah whoah whoah.... - From: Steaming Hot Springs + Snowcapped Volcanoes: Central North Island There was a "day in the life of a prawn" AND a "slick 45 minute sheep show" which you DIDN'T go to!? Surely both would have been even better, if you can believe it, than the sea zoo!! Nice to see you're dressing warmly, keep it up!! |
| 8th April 2009 Jon, Mel & Pop | Cartwheel - From: Hahei and Around Photo's look stunning, sounds like you're having a great time, but please make sure you extend straight through to your toes when cartwheeling! |
| 8th April 2009 Gilberts | - From: Hahei and Around Doesn't seem too bad then... We're all madly jealous. Keep on enjoying yourselves. Love from everybody. |
