Cool photos! WoW! Fantastic photos. Love the rainforest scenery and the animal photos are great - particularly like the Toad! Look forward to seeing where you are off to next! Rob
re last blog Great pictures again. You seem to have good eye for the pictures. Hope Caroline doesn't suffer. What happened to the CREAM! Great to see you both having a great time. Hope your next move is as successful. Not much news from home to tell you. We are all looking forward to the summer now. Loads of love Dad F
Super Snaps! Thanks again kids for the fantastic photographs. You must have had a brill time- and very brave to hold those big creepy crawlies!! Sounds like you are packing lots in, what a life!! Loads of love MumFxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Photos Your photos are great again. The picture with the koala is sweet- sorry they rushed you so much money for it. Great that you are going to get a didgeridoo - you will have to teach me how to play it when you get back. Lovely to speak for so long again - be careful of those black spiders and especially on the look out for those crocodiles tomorrow. Have a great time - tons of love - Mum
Karunda Glad you made it to Karunda, What a fantastic place it is We had koala photo taken with the same backcloth as yours it was probably the same bear, did it have a buttrefly tatoo on it's behind? How about the return trip, did you come back on the sky train over the rain forest? Look forward to hearing your next adventure. Latest rumours are L,Pool will sign either Henri, or Owen, my guess it is likely to be Owen. God Bless Good Luck,G,Dad G/Mumxxx
i can't think of a title hello!! lovely speaking to you yesterday!!! looks like you are having such a wonderful time. it was so strange yesterday when caroline called - as i had literally just looked at your diving pictures - and then you said you had been doing it earlier on that very day! crazy. you both look so well - caroline i love your hair that colour!! chris - i think that you should always wear make up - it really brings out your eyes.....! i arrived back for my final stint at uni yesterday (horaaaah) just got back from the gym and not starting some long awaited revision.. they have decided to start building the foundations of a new building outside my bedroom - so i was woken up at 7 this morning by a rather loud banging noise. they could have picked a better time to do it really couldn't they? about the one time of year that it actually matters whether or not people get any sleep (exams!!) ridiculous! i am contemplating a complaint! hohoho. anyway!! hopefully speak to u both very soon - look after each other. tons of love, katie xxxxxxxxx
Wow! - the Barrier reef Wow!!!! Chris and Caroline what a fantastic set of photographs, an amazing experience and one I'm sure you are never going to forget. I thought the photos would be good but never dreamed they would be as good as they are. I really feel so envious of the times you have had. I don't suppose you'll ever want to come home!!! The colours are truly amazing and the photographs are a wonderful record, well worth hiring the underwater camera. Chris you look very fetching in your power ranger suit. I'm pleased you managed to have another go at the scuba diving after your try in Rhodes, looks like you got the hang of it. Keep the photos coming. Thinking of you always and missing you so much. Love always Mumxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
PS where to next?xxx
The Reef. Glad you made it to the 'Reef' it's very spectacular,but difficult to describe to anyone just how beautiful it really is, but your excellent photographs will give everyone a clear appreciation of life on the Reef. Well done to you both. I always wanted other members of the family to see as much of the wild world as possible, perhaps others will follow you. Best wishes for your onward trip. Keep Sharp Keep Safe. Love G/Dad G/Mum xxx
Great Barrier Reef What really stunning pictures. You lucky things. I cannot believe the colours of those fish. You must be really pleased with that new camera. Keep sending the pics - makes me very jealous. Tons of love - Mum xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Cairns Glad you have arrived in that beautiful little town. I am sure you will have a brilliant time snorkelling. Gran was really pleased to hear from you Caro and thanks for ringing. Tons of love - Mum
Globe Trotters Extrordonair GDay Blue(s)Great to hear all is going well, and you are off to Cairns. We stopped at Palm Cove when we were there (less scallies) and went up to Karunda then on to the barrier reef. What about the 'Pool? I had 20quid on them to win at 25-1so I,m hoping that we can see them off. What are your plans after Gold coast ? give me a rough idea of your plans. We have been making the most of the good weather staying in the outback----of wales! still it was great with little Matty, and Katie. making sandcastles on Llandudno beach. After the latest performances of Chelsea, maybe you might bump into Motor Mouth Mourinhio looking to manage an Aborigine team next season. Must away now your dad has a belting video to watch, its called Kill Bill Three, I think its an action movie. Bye for now Stay sharp Stay safe love G/Dadxxx
Next stop Cairns hello Chris and Caroline lovely to hear from you in beautiful Cairns you certainly are packing it in to the maximum. You must go on the Karunda Railway and then on the Cable car over the Forest canopy, a fantastic trip we did when we visited Cairns. Enjoy every moment. I am very proud of the way you have planned everything and how well things have gone for you. We have just finished a lovely roast dinner your mum cooked for us, we know you would have loved it. just about coping with all this technology, you leave me and Granddad standing. keep safe will speak again soon. enjoy the barrier reef a great experience. love always Grandmum.xxx

Query regarding the Grotto Chris, the pictures are as interesting and entertaining as ever but, please tell me, what is the name of that big arch behind the grotto?
VIC What great pictures - the coastline looks really spectacular. I can imagein all the kangaroos bouncing around. Really glad you are getting out and about a bit and seeing the scenery and countryside. Lovely to hear from you and speak soon. Tons and tons of love to both of you - glad you got a new camera!! Mum xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Contact!!! Hello again, at last, something new to look at on your blog!!! And it was worth the wait. The photos are fantastic, I am so envious of all the lovely places and sights you've seen. If you ever want to come back to England it will be a miracle. You both look so well and seem to be having such a wonderful time, experiencing so much, can't help feeling jealous stuck in boring old work! The pics are really good quality, it was worth getting a decent camera, so many of these places are once in a lifetime experience so its good to have a decent record to look back on. Thanks for keeping in touch. Love the little koala! Loads of love to you both. Mumxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Onward bound. Hello again. It was good to speak to you over the weekend and nice to know that you are both still enjoying yourself and keeping well. I'm glad your trip was a success and now you have booked your flight to Cairns you will be busy getting ready for the next part of your adventure. Maybe you will have a bit more success finding work there. I am looking forward to seeing your photographs. Don't forget to send anything you want to get rid of before you set off so you are not laid down with big bags (I hear you brought some clothes Caroline!!!) Make sure you pay your fine before you leave Chris!!! Keep in touch. Loads of love Mumxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Back to school Hi there you two - well have sent a package, letter, card, email and now blog and text message - I'm on the winning side. Katie's party is now going to be at the end of June and in Fincham - she is staying with her friends in Richard's barn for that weekend. Hope you are still having great time - pls put photos on when you can - lots and lots of love to both of you
Catching up! Hello to you both. I thought I would put an entry on your blog as I haven't done for a while even though we have been in touch via emails. I was looking on in the hope you would have put some photos on from your trip up the Gold coast last week. Come on no excuses you've got a new camera now! Good to hear from you and I can't wait to see your photos, your trip sounded fantastic. I would especially like to see the penguins. I bet that was a lovely sight. No doubt you will be getting ready for moving on shortly, have you decided where to yet? Now that you've booked your flights out of Oz you will have a better idea of your time scales. Hope you are both keeping well. Looking forward to your next instalment. Keep in touch. Hope you manage to get on the webcam soon.
Missing you loads
Love always Mum xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Hope Chris was able to see those two Liverpool victories. The only downside to what must be a certain return to the England team is that Crouch will save McClaren from the sack. What a pity that would be!
Speaking of chocolate eggs, Somerfield (the supermarket chain) made a PR cock-up about Easter Eggs. They expressed their concern that very few young people seems to be aware of what the eggs symbolise - that they are commemorative of the BIRTH of Christ! A spokesman referred to the faux-pas as "a typo"!
Can't wait for their explanation as to the purpose of Hot Cross Buns!
Did you go to see Dame Edna? The new tv series is running over here and dieing a death.
Have a great Easter and don't eat too many Red Lindtt Eggs!
Welcome to our travelblog site. Over the next 12 months keep up to date with all our adventures as we try to make it around the world. Starting off by flying to Delhi on the 14th September 2006, we are hoping to make it through as many places as our money will take us.
It's been a while coming, but with after graduating from Uni and decided enough was enough at work, we headed to the travel agents to buy these tickets. An easy decision really and realising that we might just have the money to do this, or at least get us half way, we finally paid up and there was no turning back.
