Blog complications So, just in case you are wondering why you are getting resent some of my blog entries it´s just that travelblog have been having issues and I have lost one of my blogs for good (central america) and can only get some of the text back on a few of the others. Pretty shit hey but anyway at least I have all the photos and memories myself x
Keep Photos Coming Pls Unbelieveable...how different (and the same) peoples daily lives are. Absolutely love reading and seeing the pics...so vivid. You've likely picked up on the the local vernacular, "pura vida" or "all life"....in Costa Rica. You're living it.....enjoy and thanks for sharing your adventure with us. It's very fun to watch it unfold....

Hong Kong Spewey! Glad to finally see the HK blog entry! Walking up and down the escalators? Wasn’t it more like dangling from the handrail then coming down on ones *r*e??
Hope the head lump finally went down Em! Was lovely to see Emma and Simon and hear all about their chilled out lifestyle and travelling stories For anyone who was thinking about visiting HK, the 7s weekend is not really typical generally the Xpats are pretty well behaved it tends to be the out-of-towners that let the side down (Em & Simon excluded of course!!??) Enjoy the rest of your travels in South America and keep writing looking forward to seeing the AUS and NZ entries. Andy was a bit offended that you think he’s become a cock, I think he’ll forgive you though thanks to you he just made a killing on his Hunter Valley stock next hot tip Jose Cuervo Tequila??!! Take care and enjoy yourselves x x x x.
Hello It is always so good to hear from you, I have so much admiration for you both; the way you really embrace each country and it's culture, god i wish i could do it too! Your stories are so engaging and heartfelt - i almost feal i am experiencing it myself.
Have you met up with Jackie and Linda yet?
Take care, still miss you my darling and can't wait to see you again.

good to see you both Emma thanks for the lovely photos. What can I say you both look so well.............how can you ever settle back to work after this?!!
monkey business Hi there, sorry it has been so long but I have been following your adventures, honest! Hope you both had fantastic birthdays and looking forward to the next installment. Back in Blighty kids have been constantly ill, S has a new job and I'm waiting to hear about becoming a part time working Mum again back in the Capital. Jxx
fantastic writing Hi guys,sounds you really are having the time of your lives!the journal is so vivid, you can almost smell the food, hear noise coming from the cars and the relaxing noise of the waves breaking and the sun burning in my face!Big kiss from the girls and I+++
India goodby Thanks for the pictures Emma. Reading what you said made me feel sad your Indian experience is over. I hope serendipity continues to be with you both.
Love, Pat. xx
Greetings from Birmingham Following your journey with interest. You most certainly wouldn't want to be in Brum at the moment - we've just thawed out 4 inches of snow - and as usual everything came to a grinding halt. Dean (Marlene's son) and his family are in Australia at the moment. Looks like everyone's having fun globetrotting! Love from all your Brummie family. xxxx
Breaking a Commandment Let it be officially known that I am coveting my neighbor :) Emma, the photos and descriptions are wonderful. I especially loved the description of the train ride...hmm...sorry I couldn't make that one. You're keeping it real :) Having a wonderful time following your adventure. Keep those photos coming. My friend is returning from India on Friday, can't wait to compare notes.

My pink t-shit!!!! After a comment from Mish about the said item - you will see in future photos that I am making a conscious effort to wear something different although we all know that once you find something comfortable that doesn't show the dirt too easilyy and wears well that it is a definite key item for the duration. The pink t-shirtt is however more of a 'townie' outfit and is not reall;y making an appearance at the beach so watch out for the new 'item' and get ready to cast your votes xx
I think I probably did Rajasthan a bit of an injustice really although Simon did then get ripped off on his credit card which blatantly saw the guy doing and questioned him at the time - the cheek!
So, now we are in a place called Dui - a small island - although connected to the mainland of Guyurat.
Udaipur was amazing as you had said - had an almost serene, meditteranean feel. Mumbai was great for just getting back to a bit of reality after Rajasthan although bloody expensive and now we are just chilling, living very basically by the beach, eating freah fish every night for less than a quid.
So, life is good and yes, lots of experiences coming our way as we meet more people and understand more about the different cultures and the simplicities of living away from the western influences that have begun to dominate and shape our exsitence xx
pink t-shirt Hello Emm and Simon... lovely to see a new entry on blog.. and another appearance from the pink t-shirt!!
Looks like you are having a lovely time.. hope the henna has gone by the time you get to HK!
Keep on writing...
Love Mish and Andy

i am not sure from where you got the idea that average monthly wages are Rs 250 , though the cost of putting up hena was bit high but i am very sorry to hear theese remarks from a traveler who is in india for such long period , hopefully you will understand india much better in coming time.
Awesome Hi Emma and Simon - loving this blog thing!! Hope you don't spend too much time writing it up and why are you thinking about work???? All going smoothly(ish) with the SVC but I do miss you. I still can't believe you got everything in that rucksack Em....... I'll have to get some tips from you. Well it's pretty much the same here I have to say and I'm just about getting into count down mode myself - 4 and a 1/2 weeks to go.
YIPPEEEEEEEEEEE I'll be in touch soon, have the time of your lives xxx
