gorgeous! Matt looked pretty fit in that photo - he must be working out! No really the places look amazing and not a gecko in any photo! Amazing! Oh Oh news alert - Sarb rang me yesterday to let me know that she was booking the venue for wedding - it looks beautiful on website and she said it was either the frid 17th sept of sun 5th sept depending on teachers and days off - so think going for fri as would rather get day off if poss! How exciting is that!!!!!!!!!!!! xxx
wow All sounds amazing and given such a poetic feel to the blog that I think author could be your choice of career when you return nat! Barge was fab - weather quite shit but very fun - lots of drinking and eating - you both were sorely missed. Brass kept saying 'I keep thinking if matt were here he would have loved that!' etc. I won craziest barge mate due to excessive amounts of alcohol! Brass won Barge mate of the year but really did bugger all as he slept most of day and didn't even do his meal - was meant to do potatoes but said it reminded him of you 2 too much so was far to emotional to cook! Flem got the ASBO award for climbing drunkenly onto the wrong boat after a night out in oxford and pressing their horn for 5 mins until being told to piss off! All in all pretty fun - sarb was talking kids names and weddings which is very exciting and met John (ades other best man) who was very fun. BUT biggest news of all RICH PULLED! he snogged a pretty girl while out in Oxford and seemed much better about the whole gen situation - he even spoke of ade having to be best man at his next wedding! OK have bored you enough - Good luck in Thailand with the geckos - love you both xxx
your daisy roots we spotted your new crocs, while you were selling bananas! are they as comfortable as the others? cos mum had blisters from them. this blog of vietnam looks great, we are partial to the odd dog toastie too!
howdi hey mate, sorry for the late reply, internet connections in southern china and vietnam are sketchy at best.
hows the swine flu, started to grow a curly tail yet?
seriously though hope its not serious and your recovering well.
Matt and Nat
WOW Sounds amazing - it seems way too long now that you to have been gone - Matt looks really different in the pictures! I love the way you give your updates - there is a real author style romantasised feel to them.
Our trip to Peru adn Bolivia were amazing - we really have the travel bug now - bought loads of stuff and have over 200 photos! Just incredible scenery - Bsoton was beautiful - one of the best cities we have been to as we could actually imagine ourselves lviing there were it not for all the stupid americans! We went out whale watching while we were there and saw 2 incredible humpbacks that came so close to the boat we got splashed. Am home now and have loads to do beore going back to school - si is already back at work. You never seem to mention missing any of us and I am scared now you hjave seen the big wide world that you wont be coming back! Romford is no china but it is home - remember that! Cant wait for next update xxx

Loving the pic of the 2 of you in traditional attire... that has made my day! I hope you kept that hat Matt.
Glad to hear you are still having a fab time. The pics look amazing.
You'll have to have a photo competition with Si and Kel and compare Machu Picchu shots.
Looking forward to hearing more news from Tokyo... Cat x
ah... my motherland! Hey guys! Am soooooo glad u had a great time in my motherland, beautiful isnt it - even if i do say so myself. You guys are so lucky u didnt get altitude sickness! I did! And how hard is the Inca Trail! Just the memories of when i did makes me breathless! lol! Looking forwards to the next update! Besos xx
omg I am sooo jealous as this looks like the trip of a lifetime! The animals are beautiful and so close - it is just so amazing that they have no fear! The boat trip sounds and looks like the best fun. Si and I have now booked our trip to Machu Pichu and will be wanting the best tips and stuff for when we go.
As for news and gossip from blighty - not much to report - as said have booked holiday to peru for august and have booked a trip to kent with teh babies for half term - am staying in little b and b with a menage and forest and beach on the doorstep. They are gonna love it! Si and I have been working hard - school is still really shit with head just getiing worse by the minute -still haven't heard about suing thing. Had a great trip with guys camping a few weeks back - didn't do the proper camping stuff as had every meal in a pub so no cooking on stoves. Unfortunately it was the coldest weather and I froze with 4 sleeping bags - si got drunk and slept naked ontop of the sleeping bags so felt no cold! I had to go to the toilet at 3 in the morning and moaned like hell the whole way to the toilet block - Claire woke up the next morning saying it was the worst night of her life and she was never camping again! So much fun - she is really nice but missed our claire so much. The activities were brilliant as we went canoeing on sat - gorge walking on sun and quad biking on mon. Each got more fun than the previous - cat was a menace with teh gorge walking as she led for a bit and climbed through the smallest gaps! I got stuk at one point and when we when traversing through the tunnel I fell off and ended up in deep water (up to my waist!)
Have to go as si just called and wants to go cinema so have to run out - will message later as missing you loads and want to share more.

omg haven't heard from you in sooo long was getting alittle worried what with swine flu etc. Claire has been beside herself sending texts about whether we should do something! So gladf you had a good birthday. The photos look amazing as usual and cant wait to read your next blog as it is in my hotmail waiting for me now - expect another comment after I have read that one x
mmm... Wow! Sounds like your having an amazing time! I really miss empanadas! When i was in Peru i was literally next door to a bakery so had them every morning! yummy! delicioso! Miss ya Sweets! Oh... what u got planned for your bday? xx
oh my god Am so jealous looks amazing - matt looks like proffessional hiker! So and I have got our stuff sorted for our Andes trip. So let us know all the tips - plus any unwanted lizards or insects etc as can always back out xxx
wow hi nat and Matt sounds great, what happened with the belly natalie? too much of what? hey matt did you and Si go on the perspex walkway at the grand canyon. BA must be exciting plenty of nice steaks - yummy. how about horse riding there? love to you both xxx
Patriotic Matty Aside from the lack of gun and monster truck Matt, I'd say that despite spending 2.5months in Yanksville you look like you are both still shy of a few hundred lbs before you can call yourself truly American - failing that, you should at least be able to polish off a 15lb steak as a starter!
Looks like you guys are having an amazing time. I'm not in the slightest bit jealous of course, sitting here at my desk at work, staring out the window at the outside world.......sigh! Why of why did we only go away for 3months.......! Looking forward to hearing the next installment of the Advenures of Matt and Nat soon! Rich and Jen xxx
