Rik, you describe things very well! I can just picture you tormenting a poor old security guard and Vik being a lovely shade of lobster and falling asleep on a spectacular train journey! Sounds fantastic, you are both much braver than me - I love my 2 weeks holiday but could never do what you guys are doing.x
Only 3 weeks to go Hello Vik and Rik, I cannot believe it is only three weeks til we fly out to see you. This year has past so fast. Hope you have planned many things for us to do. Debra and I are looking forward to visiting the restaurant you mentioned as well as a local tavern. I have been watching the weather and it looks like we should be bringing our raincoates. I will end by saying congratulations Vikki for the award you won at work. Cheers from Robert and Debra.
Temper, Temper! What happened to the ice-cool fella I used to know, Trigger? Glad your both having a whale of time out there in spite of any dvd miss-adventures!. Love the blog guys, keep it up.
DVD I would like to add that I had a similar experience with a DVD case but I didn't need a knife, just a screwdriver. the result was the same though. It's good to read these adventures. This is the sort of stuff adventure novels are written about. Looking forward to seeing you in January.
Bowling It is really good to hear from you both again. I found your blog really entertaining, I couldn't help but laugh out loud even when I read it for the second time. Take care Love Linda
breathtaking ! The experience you're having sounds absolutely brilliant and as you say breathtaking.
Makes excellent reading Richard.
Must see piccys and video.
Take care both.

Your email address? Wow, it all sounds fantastic....You will have some right pictures. Im sooo pleased for you.
Please can i have an email address for you so that we can have a chat?
FESTIVE TIME HELLO YOU TWO. HOPE ALL IS OK. THIS WEEK SEES THE FIRST WEEK OF MY FESTIVE ENGAGEMENTS. I WILL TRY NOT TO EAT TOO MUCH. HOPE YOU GET SOME SORT OF XMAS FOOD.
One lucky fella Guess you're having the time of your life on this one of a hell adventure. I've managed to get hold of this Travel Blog site eventually, after your ma and pa had no idea. They were giving me e-mail addresses and not this website. Anyhow, Liz came to my aid and forwarded the address.
Do let's see some piccys and video.

Sharks and shit! You sound like you're really enjoying yourselves, hope you took plenty of toilet paper and travel sick tablets with you! Keep the journal going it'll make a good book!
sickness and diarrhoea Hi guys, you seem to be having a wonderful time! At least it gave us a laugh. I can symphathise because I get seasick on a boating pond , and as for the other..... I once wrote an article entitled " bogs of the world ", as this is a subject with which I am quite familar. Some of the best ones included a toilet room in a bar in Costa Rica (where you did it down a drain in the floor); cubicles in a Mexican airport (where the gap beneath the partition was big enough for a midget to walk under without bending); and of course Japanese squatting toilets (which require 6 weeks of leg-strengthening exercises prior to use). Just think: you have all this to look forward to in your round the world trip! Look forward to your next instalment. Des
those pesky waves sorry to hear that you wern't able to get into the cage but to be honest I'm surrpised they would let you in 15 foot waves that sound's too rough to be safe.
hope vik's stomach has settled and that Rik's exploding bowel's have calmed down too

And thus it begins Mind numbing? That's flying from Washington, DC to South Africa! And finding out that they lost your luggage too. Whenever one arrives at some airport, and you hear your name over the intercom - it's never a good thing.
Hey, the journey of a million miles begins with the first step, and now you two are on your way.
I'm enjoying the updates. Take care.

all grown up well Rik and Vikki have just left our house and will be boarding a plane tomorow...sniff he's all grown up and is leaveing our homeland. I just hope he doesn't scare off the great whites when he see's them with his special brown chum slick.
look after yourselves and above all have fun.

After too long in the rat race, its time to break free and live out a life long dream. This will be used as a journal to document the highs and lows of adventure on a round the world trip.... full info
