Hi Sparkies Hi Guys, First day back at work since 24th April. Happy Birthday Debsie. It looks like you had a great day. You're looking pretty fantastic in all the photos! Thanks for the text for Dave's b'day. Did you get our reply? Your weather looks better than ours has been. Alsie - snow on Thredbo!! Take care and see you guys all too soon. Enjoy your last weeks.

BELATED BIRTHDAY WISHES Hi Everyone, happy birthday Deb, sounds like you had a perfect day. I love reading all your blogs as it looks and sounds all to unreal. Only what you would see on the movies but you guys get to experience this in real life. Half the places you visit I wouldnt no even existed. Got a bit of a fright the other night walking along the beach and lights were on in the Sparks household, thought you guys were tricking and came home early, but Julie told me you had people staying, thank god for that, I thought they were squatters. Anyway, better get back to work, catch up with more blogs later. Love Megan Lawrence Aden and Brie xoxo

Sailing home?? No......you're not sailing home yet, because you just started the best part of your trip, am I right. It must be really amazing overthere? Hope the weather is also a little bit better. I've looked at the weather report and it's going to better after this weekend. Enjoy and make the best of your trip.

Wish you guys all the best!!!!
safe journey Hi All, hope you have a safe journey and keep in touch as much as possible. Al, hope you have a fantastic birthday on Tuesday. Have a drink for me, I will surely be having one. Take care, safe travelling.
Nina and Crew Good to hear from you Al and I still can't understand why you you head to the cold weather as miss out on all the fun we had in the last couple of races. We led by one point going into the penultimate race and trailed by one point going into the last. Credit has to go to the helmsman...helmsperson....helmswoman... damn.....the sheila that was on the helm for the last race...."TANYA" who also won the best helm thingy on the night. Hurry up and buy that Hanse as I am now out of a job!!!!
Al the travel writer maybe you can do a lonely planet guide - really enjoying reading about your travels! I hope layni is better - Sasha had a bug too ( hope you havent exported any aussie bugs :-) but she is back into the swing of things now. luv jacquie
Hey guys,
Loving the blog - reminds me of the trip we had with dad there (7 years ago - scary!). Am jealous you have snow! I suddenly have a craving for goulash and dumplings!
Happy Anniversary Hi, it is nice to follow up your travel footprint which is so colourful from Prague to Nuremberg and now in Dubrovnik. And also wish you a good time in the rest of your miles :-) Cheers. XiangDong
Life back in Aus. Hi guys,
Sounds like you are having an absolute ball. Enjoying the photos. Looks a tad chilly in some!!
We had a lovely Easter, just stayed at home, but, the weather was superb. Surfed everyday and really had a relaxing time.
Last weekend 29-31 March had a huge w'end down at Gloucester Tops on a friends property with about 80 other old Sydney friends. The occasion was to celebrate several of those people turning 50! Needless to say it was big, but so good to catch up with everyone. Thank goodness Dave and I were a little more sensible than usual and stopped drinking early enough that we felt pretty good for the car trip home. I woke with a bit of a sore throat though - could it have had anything to do with singing do you think Alsie?
Take care guys, and keep the blogs coming.
Lots of love Liz xx
