And sorry, by the way, for not warning you about Pluma - Julie and I kept saying that you would have despised that bus (and imagine, we did Pluma from the falls to Rio!!) Happy New Year from Nina (who's back in cold, rainy Denmark... Oh nooo!) |

Last defrosted in the mid nineties, even scientists are now requesting grants from the Australian government to do research on the climate changes and family eating habits of the 90's. in fact my shit is boring, your photo's kick-ass. keep it up and enjoy your time with your gay lover Josh. good to see you expressing yourself so openly on the internet :-) |

Later, Pete |
| 7th December 2006 anonymous | - From: Whales and penguins and elephant seals.....OH MY! Gday mate Man these blogs are unreal its almost like im there. The cricket was awesome well so it looked on the highlights package in the news as i foolishly organised a net session and missed what has been described by many as one of the greatest ever test matches, what they seemed to have quickly forgotten was the 4 day bat-a-thon before that magical 5th day. Anyway dude enjoy your trip, hope u have a top chrissy! |
| 6th December 2006 Boonie | So Cute! - From: Whales and penguins and elephant seals.....OH MY! How cute are the penguins!! You sound like your having an absolute ball. Cricket was awesome yesterday.

| 22nd November 2006 ANDREW GRAHAM | gday mate - From: Adventure and wine - Mendoza in a nut-shell mate sounds like yopu are having the time of your life. Love the pics and wish i was there to explore with you. Got back from taiwan yesterday, we finished 5th, bad result, we played well but lost 3 games in extra innings. It sucked, oh well, when i played i played well. I ended up hiting 500, so i was happy. Anyway mate, hope you ass feels better, remember the average bloke has some built in padding not just a tail bone covered by a thin sheath, later |
| 22nd November 2006 jules | - From: Adventure and wine - Mendoza in a nut-shell Wow craig that sounds awesome!! Good to hear you didnt fall out. Hey who was taking the photos of you rafting?? |
| 21st November 2006 Ben | Hey Mate. - From: Adventure and wine - Mendoza in a nut-shell Craig, looks awesome. Sad to hear about the gooch pummuling. Push bikes are second only to the motorbike gooch molestation i encountered in cambodia, do you rmenmber that? Stil black and blue. Hope the weather is fine, london turned on a ripper today, 9 degrees, but at least the sun came out. Pity im working in a basement and so have little opportunity to actually see daylight (dark in morn, dark in afternoon) Earning the almightly pound however and at least get the chance to annoy sara/jo during the day in the office. Take care mate, try some paote if offered, u are supposed to spew after 45 mins then its the trip of a lifetime. Ben. |

| 18th November 2006 Tam | Buena Suerte! - From: Chi Chi Chi, Le Le Le, Viva Chile! Hey Craig! Sorry I didn't make it out to your farewell, looks like you thoroughly enjoyed yourselves! Good to see your making the most of your trip, I'm thoroughly jealous....get my travel dose in a couple weeks in the states, maybe i'll hang out in LA and use my spanish skills there. Keep the stories coming and if you find yourself at another gay bar you might find that this phrase comes in handy.... ŋPerdone, podría quitarse su mano usted mi asno? |
| 16th November 2006 guaton loyola | hey dude - From: Sleepless in Santiago good luck on your adventure. the 'waterfall' you're standing in front is called "la fuente alemana" (ther german fountain) and was a gift from the chilean german community to the city of santiago in the early 1900s. the peach drink is called 'mote con huesillo' (good description, by the way). if you haven't already, you should go eat something at one of the restaurants in the central market (try the 'paila marina', at's a nice seafood stew piled with all sorts of sea food). the pastel de choclo is one of the best dishes (like shepherd's pie but with sweet cornmeal instead of potatoe). |
| 15th November 2006 Ant Bray | Hey there - From: Sleepless in Santiago Hey mate, Good to see you arrived ok, nose bleeds and all. iM so bloody jealous of you over there, reading your email made me want to throw my computer out teh freakin window and get on a plane.
