Eric, what can i say?!?! VEry brave you crazy fool! You'll never forget that as long as you live!!Now go relax in Fiji style!! andrixx
Merci pour les belles photos ! Que de belles photos pour votre album ! Cela fait penser aux vacances ! Quels paysages merveilleux ! Cela donne envie d'y etre ! Merci de nous faire rever ! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Sensations et paysages Photos ravissantes et commentaires plein d'humour, recherche de sensations fortes et paysages de reve, oui, tout cela nous fait rever aussi ! Merci de les partager avec nous. Vous finissez votre tour de Nouvelle -Zelande en beaute (accent sur le e).
Bonne continuation ! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Lazy days! Well - a lovely peaceful end to the tour. It looks glorious. I love the blue and green!! And to top it all - FREE LUNCH!!!!!! What more could you ask for. Congrats to both of you for entertaining us with your wonderful tour of NZ. Look forward to the next installment. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
red hole! These photos are fantastic! Well done for finally making to the walk. It all looks absolutely amazing. No sarcastic comments! Just well done and what lucky people to see all of this! Eleni - your dad is getting more and more determined to see this!XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
WOW!!!!!! Well done Eric!! What a fantastic and VERY brave thing to do!! Somehow I didn't think that jumping out of an aeroplane when it wasn't firmly grounded and stationery was Eleni's favourite choice of activities! We have enough trouble trying to persuade her to go on the rides at Legoland!!!xxxxxxxxxxxx (Sorry Eleni - I know that you have inherited the valiant Skaliotis/Kleanthous genes!)xxxxxxxxxx
Well done Eric!! We assume that this whole trip was a cunning plan just to give Eleni the pleasure of seeing a gigantic, pretend carrot!!! Does this mean that you wont need to buy her any more valentine presents? You seem to have about 20 years worth there!!xxxxxxxxxxxx
Yeee haaa!! Way to go Eric!!! Thumbs up for having ... uhmmm .... balls :-) It's a pity you couldn't get Leni to jump with you. I would have given anything to see her 'Exit' photo!!!! Keep on jumping!! Tata for now! xoxo
A la recherche de la montee d'adrenaline ! Ou sont les photos ? Eric devant l'avion, Eric devant un parachute au sol, mais ou sont les photos d'Eric sautant de l'avion et planant comme un oiseau ?
Bravo Eric, quel courage ! Le referais-tu ? J'ai quand meme hate de voir les photos. Continue a bien t'amuser ! Bisous !xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
A la recherche de la carotte geante ! La fameuse carotte ! C'est donc de la qu'est partie l'histoire de cette carotte que vous deviez trouver a tout prix ? Bravo pour votre imagination ! Celle d'Eleni ou la tienne, Eric, ou la votre a tous les deux ? En tout cas, voila l'explication ! Merci pour les belles photos, mais aussi pour les commentaires plein d'humour ! (Pardon pour les accents qui ne veulent pas s'afficher). Bisous et bonne continuation.xxxxxxxx
Wish we were there! Amazing. I am embarrassed to say that this has been my first view of the journal. I am convinced this is all made up and there is an organisation that has retouched you into 'pictures of the world'. You're really somewhere in 'blighty', where by the way there are plenty of carrots.
Not that I am jealous but I wish I was twenty and did not have two brats - Pauline and I would be on a 'love world trip' but probably not in a camper van.
Hope the rest of the trip is exciting and wonderous and I will call again.
Love from the Kleanthous's of Cambridge.
C'est fantastique Wow! First gliding, them swimming with seals in shark-infested waters. Leni, I have to say that you are more adventurous than I'd previously given you credit for!! Keep having fun. Hugs ...
Vos aventures me fascinent ! Tout d'abord, et avec un peu de retard, "Joyeux Anniversaire" Eleni !
Balades en camping-car, marcher sur un glacier, nager avec les phoques, quel programme de vacances ! Je n'imaginais pas que cela serait ainsi. Quel beau cadeau que ce voyage, toutes ces aventures et innombrables photos toujours aussi belles qu'impressionnantes !
"Cool" de se parler, hier, Eric !
Bonne continuation ! Grosses, grosses bises ! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Germany definitely not as exotic Hey!! Well, firstly wow, looks so cool and I've only had a quick look around so far, SOMEONE forgot to let me in on the email train, although i did find your email Ez just before you left with this site address, but that was it! How was i supposed to know what that meant? Thought it was some code or something to help find the Golden Carrot. Anyway, i'm so envious, have lots of reading to catch up on and find out about all your adventures. Did see that you did a tango class in Argentina, the only place for it!! I'm doing dance classes too though! Tango is great, i reckon all of us will be famous soon. Email later. Have fun, although i don't need to tell you that, and take care Lots love xxx
Happy Birthday and Happy Easter! Just a quick note to say Happy Birthday and Happy Easter! I look forward to reading more of the journal.. it sounds like a lot of fun.
Needless to say, I'm very jealous.
Take care, have fun and happy trails!

I'd rather have a bowl... Sorry I haven't commented for so long but just finished first set of exams (I think they went well). Now gotta catch up with your adventures. I must admit I have just been looking at the pictures - looks like a lot of reading ahead for me to catch up! Did you ask what the Ausdtralian Coco Pops song was Eric? Hope everything is going well. Take care!
happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear eleeeniiiiiiiii, happy birthday to you!! Well... I have to say that even though you were thousands of miles away from downtown Norbury - never happened before on your birthday! - where you were looks great!! What a very pretty place to relax and enjoy your special day. The pretend Antarctica looks really good and what is that multi-limbed creature clinging to the rock?!! xxxxxxxxxxxx
Love the photos here. So many sheep - no wonder they keep sending us their lamb. The picture of the satrfish dining is great! Thank you for the very interesting facts on starfish! Do their eating patterns resemble union nights at any uni campus? No.. don't go down that road!! xxxxxxxx
What a fantastic walk!! It looks so amazing and the blue sky against the ice is unbelievable! Well done - not sure that the bits with the holes looks completely safe!! Was it not easy to fall through?!! N.Z. looks very dramatic! Keep the fun going and stay safe. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Boom Boom! I see Eric is recreating his favourite bit of the Smooth Criminal video. He loves that song! Happy Easter! I guess New Zealand must have been the first country in the world to have Easter, as it is near Easter Island.
Aventures, sensations, souvenirs ! "Paragliding " absolument impressionnant ! Et c'est Eleni qui a voulu avoir le frisson des hauteurs ? Cela t'a plu aussi, Eric, j'imagine bien. Tant de sensations et d'aventures ! les photos sont toujours aussi superbes. Elles seront d'incroyables souvenirs lorsque vous serez de retour. La vie en camping-car doit effectivement te rappeler nos vacances en caravane en France et en Europe. Bonne continuation, les petits, et surtout amusez-vous bien ! Grosses bises, xxxxxx!
olaa ola guys, it turns out I may well be in SE Asia this Summer so let me know when you'll be about and i may well let you in on the secret of my hidden beach, where we smell of fish and go to bed at 9!
Let's face it, travel diaries are boooring! No-one cares that you spent 59 hours balanced on top of a train holding onto the goat you hired, or that you had to wake up at 2am in order to trek up the local hill with your 15-year-old tour guide Chang. Sad but it's true.
Well my friends, this diary is different. You see Eleni found a treasure map in her attic. It talks of a mysterious magical Golden Carrot, the ultimate vegetable-based prize! Legend has it that the owner of this Carrot becomes inundated with offers of full-time employment, and so we are giving up the traditional method of job ... full info
