Brilliant Sounds like you are all having a great time, love the stories. Hope your house guest is not getting you to exercise daily as well as healthy eating!
Hi Guys,
I think this has to be the funniest blog yet. What great adventures you've had over the festive season. Don't knock the heat even on the English Riviera we have had temperatures of -10 at night and barely reaching 0 during the day. Lots of snow/ice - business is booming! Love the photos (keep snapping) all three of you are looking great. Love to all, W x
Happy new year Hi Matt and Kate, just finished reading your blog, this was the first opportunity I had. Once again very entertaining and nice to see Kate getting a chance. Not sure why but they blocked us having access a couple of weeks ago but now it seems to have been lifted. Hope you both had a wonderful christmas and have a fantastic new year. Take care when in the sea - you even got me worried so godness knows what it did to your Mum's!! Happy New Year, love Debs x
Merry Crimbo! Hi Both
Looks like you're still having a great time! Matt nice work on the handstands, maybe next week you can try cartwheels and hopscotch!
Things are good over here, Job is pretty interesting and have ordered the replacement for the Lacetti already!
Hopefully you can find wifi on Christmas day and we can have a proper chat.
Speak to you soon
Gareth and Lizzie
Turkey and all the trimmings what a week for travel for you both, most people in the UK managed to get stuck in 25mm of snow, Harold deserves a rest after beaches and vineyards, and the city! Have a great christmas day, and we hope to speak with you. Going to collect Gramps at 10am, he said you spoke with him this morning? I will try and make Margy avoid reading about your paddling out of your depth! Happy Christmas to all the blog readers from John, Margy, Charlotte, Andrew, Harvey and Bruno.
SNOW!! Hi Guys,
Just been reading your blog, all wrapped up as we had about 6inches of snow last night! was great fun getting to work this morning. Sounds like you are having an amazing time, send us some of the lovely warm sunshine! We are missing you, so its great to have such detailed blogs!
Take care, Ryan and Miranda xx
FTAO harold Thanks for this episode, we were in holland yesterday and could not wait to get home to read this. Fantastic photos of all your visits, harold seems a good team member to assist in the trips! I bet you are missing the blizzards and 0° C.

We stayed in Main Beach too!!!! Woohoo! Glad to hear you guys are having a good time! You make me miss it soo much looking at all your pictures!

You guys look like you are having the most amazing time ever - I am so happy for you! Kate, you look hot as rocks...you're topping up the base tan acquired in Vietnam nicely! Matt, you're lovely too!! I hope Christmas and the New Year are fabulous for you both, am sure there'll be a twinge for home every now and again but I think you have beaten a regular old Christmas hands down! Take care of yourselves, wish I was there...seriously! dee x (and paddy says hi too!)
Thanks guys, I appreciate the recognition. Loving your blog. Giving myslef and my husband ideas for when we start our travels in Feb 2010.
Keep up the good work!!!

Loving the pics Hi guys, Your pics are amazing... Kate you look stunning, are you still counting points?
Harry seems to be the man, very nice van.

G'Day Campers Hi guys, loving the blog - it gives us some great train time reading and makes the journey fly by (because it takes about 2 hours to read each one......) Looks like you are having agreat time - we wish we were there too!
Matt we're glad to see you have managed to make it through a boat trip and actually been able to get into the water rather than keeping the boat company.....
Sarah here... am totally with you taking your own snorkles! Good thinking and much more important than the sunny G's if you were to chose between the two! Whit Sunday's looks amazing! I think you've found our honeymoon destination!
Not much different here. We're trying to get finished at work so we can enjoy Orlando on Friday which we are really looking forward to. I bought my wedding dress a couple of weeks ago, regretted my decision so changed my order last weekend - needed you here Kate to help me chose! Am lost without you!
Have to say - loving Matt's snorkel pose with the leg up more than the chinese look! Keep it up matt!
Good to see Camel Joli is still going strong too!
Love to Harold, Can't wait for the next installment.
Lots of love Sarah and Age xx
Hi Guys,
What an amazing week! So glad you and Harold are getting along ok. he looks adorable. Fantastic beaches - snorkelling is allowing you to see some amazing creatures that live below the surface of the ocean. It seems very strange to see Father Christmas in all his finery and you in your beach wear but what the heck when in Rome and all that!
Keep up the blog and keep taking all your wonderful photos.
Take Care, Love Wendy x
Corrugated roads You might want to talk to the locals about driving on these roads. Rumour has it that higher speeds are better. Because you only go over the top of the bumps. They do play hell on vehicles, so take care.
Enjoy your adventure.
Slip slap slop!! Hi Both
Loving your blogs! We are all keeping up to date at work. Loving your pictures too.
Kate- we still have your photo on our wall...sniff!!
Got the Slip Slap Slop talk when I went to Oz..was unfortunately quite sunburned and got the 'look' when speech was being delivered...oops. Woolies is great...cos it's not like Woolies!!! Have you found the firearms section.............?! Mental.
Take care of yourselves and hope you find Harold soon.
Hugs

Hello..... Hello Matt and Kate,
Once again I have read your blog with much envy!!! So far the trip looks absolutely fantastic and I have no doubt it wil continue to be brilliant.
You missed a sales meeting this week Matt !! you lucky thing. Much fun was had by all.
The weather over here this weekend is awful, nothing like what you will be enduring in sunny Australia.
Hopefully you will get this as I have tried previously to post something but I don't think it went through.
Take care and keep up the blogs
Debs xx
beeeeeaches Love following you guys. We're in Cambodia now and though it's beautiful and culturally enriching, I am so jealous of you two always on the beach! Take care and maybe we'll see you in Oz!
Christmas is coming Hey Guys, sounds like your having an amazing time, We love your blog, This one was far too short!!! I love the detail! Nothing much exciting here, we bought a sofa today and have just got back from choir rehersal where we only have 3 more rehearsals until the Xmas concert!! we are being v rock and roll and doing 2 nights! Ryan has a reading and I have 2 solos, one of which I have to sing with no music! Scary!!
Enjoy Oz, keep living the dream.
Ryan and Miranda xx
Howdie Hello Travellers!
Great blogging and piccies. Loving the usage of the Gorilla Grip! Good to see its coming in handy.
Also loving the facial hair matthew - a bit like Bruce Almighty! Question is, where is Kate growing her hair...???!
We've both sent you a couple of messages back on F'book if you get a chance to log in.
Missing you loads, wish we were there!

Wow, you’re really doing it! Looks amazing, hope you’re both having a great time. What happened to 'the hog'? Good to see you have started growing facial hair (Matt)! Don’t forget the travelling song Mock, YEAH, Ing, YEAH, Bird, YEAH Keep up the blog, it provides a constant reminder of how grim things are in the UK! Have fun in Austria (?).
Short and Sweet! G'day
That was a very brief update, I went off to get a cuppa and took my phone off the hook expecting another chapter of war and peace but just 195 words.... can tell you're both on holiday!
Great pics!
Speak to you soon

Hello Folks,
We have decided to write a travel blog whilst we are away to keep all you lot (friends and family) up to date with our 12 month RTW adventure:
I (Matt) have been given the task (by Kate) of keeping this travel blog up to date whilst we are away. I will say that this website has not got spell check and therefore most words will be spelt incorrectly, however i'm sure Kate will not be short of words and will want to add/check it over/check my spelling mistakes before every blog entry.
So far I have handed my notice in at work and Kate has had a career break agreed, we've ... full info
