We are home again. Loved to read the news and see the pictures, so pleased you are having a great time.
You were lucky to handle the koalas, albeit for a short time.
Hope you are clear of the floods they look horrific on TV. when we were there they had fires, it really is a continent of extremes, so big we can't imagine it.
Did you climb the bridge? Or have we missed it. Gramp has just found out there are different blogs!! We are now up to date.
We arrived back home today, in the wet, calm seas all the time, thankfully. Nice weather and wonderful fireworks in Madeira, who are trying to compete with Sydney. Diet starts tomorrow for us.
Dont eat too many prawns or you will turn pink.
You found our favourite bus in Sydney, cheapest fare in town.
Will write again soon, take care.
Love Mama and Gramp
Great to hear you arrived safe! Hi it's great to see your pics of Sydney, oh it brings back some great memories. So you survived the China Eastern Flight, even better the food was great for you guys. Have the best holiday ever, enjoy all the sights and suck it all in, you will miss the beauty of it when you arrive back home. Will keep updating myself with your blog. Loads more photos please! Have loads of fun.
Gayle (Met you at Michelle & Eddie's Wedding) just incase you've forgotten me :D
This has improved my day no end. Thank you! Pictures of animals make me happy - the climate is vile here. The Koala retirement home sounds like the nicest place that ever existed. Except perhaps the Oraung-Utan orphans home. Enjoy!
I'm waiting for the Koala bears!! hiya
I have been reading your shedule and I am now waiting for the Koala bears, bet you both had a good time at the theme parks. Phyllis spoke to me and she is following your every move now - had a bit of trouble sending you her comments and had to enlist Andrew's help - so it you got one would you mind just letting her know.
we are going back to school tomorrow -both have colds and are feeling rubbish! never mind only 7 weeks to a holiday!
will be in touch soon love to you both mum and David
xx
Happy New Year!!!! Oli, your mother just sent this to me. Everything looks wonderful! I wrote you a letter yesterday, but apparently it didn't get posted. See everything that you possibly can, and have a good time.
Love, Phyllis
Happy New Year!!!! Oli and Lisa, Your Mother just sent this to me Oli and I have really enjoyed reading all about your trip. Will continue to log in occasionally so that I can find out what you are doing. Have loads of fun and see and do everything that you possibly can.
Love from Phyllis
good account of your travels to date!! Hi Lisa and Oli
I am very impressed with your journey details so far and can really see it is Lisa who is putting in all the hard work and uploading of your travels - I am really glad things are going well for you and we look forward to your next installment
lots of love mum and David xx
Daft Poms Dont get burnt to a frazzle, delighted you are having a great time, pace yourselves !!!Have you heard of burnout, you need to last the course.
The locals here at Madeira say they are going to outdo Sydney with the fireworks but they are a very small place, compared to down under.
You will be in position now at Mrs Mc P. so have a great evening.
Love G and M
looks fantastic!!! You both look as though you have started the holiday in good spirits. officially we are now back in England and are really on our way to Karens for Catherine's birthday and to do some jobs .
your heating was ok the other night and we will pop back just before we go to Karen's to check all is ok
I can tell it is Lisa doing the writing - no spelling mistakes!!
continue to have a great time we will keep up with your news as you put it on
love to you both
