Argie, football and wine days Hi Dave Latest pics and news are amazing.The one at the football really captures the atmosphere. We did not have our wine on your day but see no harm in catching up now so cheers or whatever they say in Spanish. It was good to talk the other night and guess by now you are well on the way to Rio if not already there. Enjoy the Stones. Keep up the great news bulletins. Lots of love Mum and Dad xx
Fellow bikers with sense of humour Hi Dave Glad to know that you still have a sense of humour and that the bullet running, border crossing was not for real. It is great to hear all your news and it would be good sometimes to have something close to boring but none of it has been so far!! Talking of boring Buro Happold have offered you an interview on 17.2.06. Dad will go for you - whoops no sorry Dad will phone them and explain tomorrow 13.2.06.Hope the bum is less sore and that your travels are still going well.We have just returned from our weekend with Jen Jay and Ollie. He is not just walking - he runs everywhere and is such a character. He loved the rocket shape sorter. Happy February 14th where ever you are. Love Mum and Dad xx

Greetings form sunny Cambourne! Hi Dave!
Love reading about your adventures, it all sounds amazing! Particularly enjoyed the pic of the monkey - any chance you could bring one back for me? It's freezing here, so I'm selfishly glad you've had some cold too! you look well brown though! We're all looking forward to seeing you again. The Woolnoughs say hello and they were really chuffed to get a postcard from you. See you in about 8 weeks!

Peru Hello little brother
The last 2 diary entries have been excellent. The pictures of the animals and of Machu Picchu look really good - a question though, where's the picture of the dodgy argie trousers!?
I'm envious of all the activities you've been doing - the sand buggying, paragliding and
surfing especially!
Keep the updates coming and keep enjoying it! Not long left now and soon you'll be back here having to get a job like the rest of us. Ha Ha!

Dusted but not done Wow Dave what a newsy journal entry it sounds amazing. My title is based on my dusting being up to date but still plenty to do and expect your bags will come back with sand and dust to add to our daily living.The pictures come through well. Give us some sort of planned itinery for after the trip. Continue having a great time. Hope you are adding all these extra skills to your CV - surfing, monkey ? taming etc. Love Mum and Dad xx
no hair Messed up that one. Just to let you all know I have even less hair and its freezing cold back home but at least sunny. Sounds like a great trip Yates. see you when you get back.

Celebrity Fame Hi Dave Here's to a very happy 2006 and hope that it is so far so good. Sorry we did not get chance to vote our celebrity son out of the Jungle but I guess you managed to persuade them to ship you out so to speak and join your overland expedition. Hope by the time you pick this up that this is proving to be another fantastic experience. As always have fun. Love Mum and Dad xx
Merry Christmas Dave! Hope you have a great festive season! We'll miss having a drink with you in the Mill! We will have one in your honour! Sounds like you're having a great time and doing some great worthwhile stuff. Stay safe, see you in 2006.
Love Clair xx
Vacation vacation vacation Hi Dave so school's out and you now have a vacation. Your journal entry was almost too informative snakes and all, and with the photos as support. Enjoy what time you have with the school and the children.Happy Christmas where-ever you are and have fun. Love Mum and Dad xx
Happy Christmas! Happy christmas! I'm very jealous- I'm back home now and it's very cold. And people aren't quite as keen to see my 500 photos of Ecuador as they should be......
hola yatesy! wow dave it all sounds and looks amazing out there! tis great reading all your updates and learning about the places and life in South America.. keep having a great time and have a top Christmas in the jungle! (watch out for the leeches though!)
how beautiful wow, I cant believe a place like that exists. it looks amazing. I hope, well I know you're having a fantastic time. Sorry haven't emailed, i'll update you soon. The San Pedro kids are adorable. Have a good one xxx
Hi Hi Dave , saw your mum on Saturday and she told to us to look you up, it looks fantastic out there , look after yourself , we are all OK love Martin and Angie
Stop rubbing it in! Just spare a thought for the sad unfortunates who remain in the Manchester rain, cursing every update you send! Nice one mate, glad your having fun, it sounds like you're keeping yourself busy, and going to school looks like a more scenic experience than the number 50 - even using UK North! We're heading out travelling in January but we're not going to get to South America unfortuntely its had to be cut from the itiniery this time. Ah well, take it easy Dave, and just spare a thought next time you're thinking of updating us on your adventures
killing a bull - fun?? well Dave, sure glad to hear that you're still alive!
about this bull... i sure dont think so that watching how to kill a bull is fun. it would have been a horro to me. glad no such party takes place down here in Chile.
take care and am looking forward to the next blog
I'm off 30th Sep to Quito, will be in Ecuador just under 100 days and then will be travelling round. Finish in Rio, flying back 22nd March.... full info
