Hi Sams, I love the outfit and Sam D looks like she is going to take off in hers! It looks like a beautiful island and so remote. Sounds like you have been seeing a lot of sun sets and walking lots. Glad your both enjoying yourselfs. Take care. Love Joanna xx
Oh My God!! Another brilliant write-up Girls!! I'm so glad I found out about you holding the dynamite after you'd done it Sam!
Trust you two to get lost down a mine - really had a good laugh at this.
I think you two should write a book about your adventures and mishaps!
Take care Girls - Love you lots. Mum J XXXX
Miners Well who would of thought you two going into a mine! The man next to sam when she has dynamite looks a bit scared! Glad you got a good reward of using the hotsprings afterwards. Nice to see you are visisting lots of different places and you have other friends you are travelling with.
Take care of yourselves and have fun. Lots of love Joanna xxx
Hello travellers :-) Just catching up with the blog as been abit busy at work but girls you sound like your having a great time. Will be the best experience of your life I am sure!! The climb sounded like hard work but I bet you loved the sliding down, I know I would of :-) Loving the pics too, especially that sunset, must have been amazing to see! You seem to ahve a little gang going which is always good too. If only I could win the lottery and come and join you!! Well girls have lots of fun and stay in contact and look after each other Nic xxxxxxxxx
brill photos Whoose idea to do your pictures like that? They are absolutely great Girls. They look soooo real. How did u manage to jump like that or is it fake????
Can't wait to show your grandparents. I am sure they will find them funny like me. So sorry to hear about all your mishaps. Being locked out, then being locked in must have been quite truamatic for you both, but at least you managed to laugh about it. and get to your destination in time. You have had quite a few experiences... I can't imagine what it would be like to go through a sand storm and a snow storm in the same day, all good memories though isn't it? All I can say is wow! Speak to you soon luv Mum V. Dad sends his love too xxxxxx
yummy chocolate Well girls what can I say, you both must have been in your element.... lots and lots of chocolate shops yummy! Glad you were able to rest and have some free time. I think I can talk for everyone when I say that we are all loving your blog so you can do as many entries as you like. I don't think we will ever get bored. Bring on the next one yes!
Hi to you both Wow, despite having "problems" getting in and, it seems, getting out of your rooms, it sounds as though you are having an absolute ball! Really enjoy reading all about your experiences and seeing the super photos. Your days must be an absolute whirl. One minute you are in bikinis enjoying the sunshine and the next you're wrapped up snug and cosy trying to keep warm! Georgraphy was never one of my strong points but I am certainly learning heaps now! Take care and love to both. Marianx
Hi Sam and Sam Hi Girls. The photos are fantastic! Good to talk to you last night Sam and to hear about your latest adventures. It must have been really nice experience to stay with a host family, to try their traditional dress, eat their food etc. You have made some good friends while on your travels which must have made it even better! Look after each other and we love you lots. Mum J XXXXX
Hiya Sams,
Your pictures look great how did you get the jumping effect so good?! Glad to see your having a great time and you have managed to go cinema and live a bit of normality too! The salt planes are they made out of salt that we eat? Well keep enjoying yourself, speak to you soon.
mmmmmmm chocolate! Hey girls! glad to see you're enjoying yourselves! Everything looks awesome and I hope you're having as incredible time as you seem to be. Sorry it's taken me so long to say hi- Lee's rubbish. ;) (ok he's not really, he took me to Venice for my birthday and most rubbish people won't do that).
Sam J, we just got your postcard! The one from Argentina. Had too much wine to read it, but can't wait to read it when i've sobered up :) Take care and enjoy yourselves- i'm super jealous! Lots of love, Amy xxx
lucky girls Hi girls 33 hours on a bus oh my goodness! I bet it was worth it though...I'm glad you are making friends and enjoying yourselves. I bet you couldn't believe your eyes when u went in the pub and see all them men. I can understand you wanting to get out quick though. I bet they were all staring....Proper Snow! How lucky can you get... we never get it over here and if we do its not very deep. Hope you made the most of it and had great snow ball fights with your new friends you made. Wheres the pic of the snowman? One question - was there a reason why the bar was called invisible bar.....strange name....was it hard to see?...Ha ha ..Hope your ankle is better now Sam. You need to rest cos you have lots more walking to do before this journey is over. Loving every moment of your holiday.. Can't wait to read the next episode love u lots. Mum Vanessa xxxxxx
Pukon - amazing You girls are unbelievable It must have taken you hours to input all this footage on your blogg. Again great photos, the sunset above the clouds is awesome. It must have been a wonderful experience climbing the volcano, seeing hot lava as well as being in the cold snow. Love the photo of you sliding down on your bum. Great seeing you and Sam with friends really enjoying yourselves. Even though it was a little scarey. Everyone says hi. loving your blogg. They are hoping to write soon. Carry on enjoying yourselves. Luv Mum V xxx
smelly cows poo! I couldn't stop laughing when I read about your boat trip. No wonder you was sick. Can't imagine the pong you was getting from being right next to them cows. Dad said at least you had fresh milk on your trip. Glad you was moved though. Otherwise poor Sam J and all your friends would have been ill too. Again absolutely amazing pictures!
brrrr wow! What can I say.....The pictures are amazing. blue ice wow! can't imagine what it must be like, but it is really making me want to join you. You both look swedish in your little bobble hats and scarfs. I know it must have been very cold, but you certainly look like you had great fun. I was a bit worried when I read about the dogs scarey...I'm glad you escaped with out any bites :) Love the photos of you both with the glacier in the background. A definite centre piece for a bedroom wall. I am enjoying every bit of your journey. Luv mum V xxx
longest day? that was one hell of a climb/ hike/ mission! Must have been such a long day, but i bet you slept well. I'm still not too sure how a volcano can be covered in ice - it thought they were meant to be like 1000 degrees?! Either way, it was an incredible thing to do - well done both of you!
Love, Lee x
Cool! Looks like you are having a fantastic time and doing some amazing things, I think you are both very brave! Having to share a boat with a load of cows from the prevoius blog must of been different too! I am glad you have met up with some people, must make the travelling interesting and fun! Take care of yourselves. Joanna xx
Snow Whites Hello Snow Whites!!
Fantastic photos again girls. Such a contrast from Brazil! It must be lovely to have so much snow that you could dive in it - wheres the snowman?
It was so good to see you on the webcam Sam, its a shame every hostel doesn't have them, still good to hear your voice though on the headset.
Look after yourselves
Love you loads
Mum J XXXX
Hello Hi Sam d, I too have been really enjoying reading your blogs and admiring the lovely pictures. I've been printing them out and taking them to Nannie Val and Grandad Arthur each time as well. They have also enjoyed reading them. It all sounds amazing, especially all the wildlife you are seeing. I don't envy the long bus journeys though, that must be hard going at times. Belated birthday wishes to you Sam. I hope you had a lovely day. You both seem to be doing really well, keep it up and take care. Love from your Aunt Sandra xx

Great Reading Girls!!!! Hi Sam and Sam I have been sooo amazed at reading what you both have been up to. I couldn't imagine myself in your position, but oh how I would love to join you right now. I have given your details to everyone they are all following your great journey. Your blog is brilliant. How you find the time in between all them long 18 hour bus journeys I will never know. but at least you are both getting to rest on them.....Maybe sore bums....We went to sarahs football do on Sunday, she played brilliantly and also scored a goal. When you get back I will have to take you to watch her. Everyone says hi. (A special big hello from your Dad, Paul, Emma and Brad) They all love what you are doing. Always asking how you both are. We have a bank holiday Monday off next week yippee! If only I could have a year off like you..... Never mind thats life ....You seem to be coping well with all the different places, people and food. You have some great footage. I love the pics of the waterfalls. wow! what an experience being able to go under them. Can you imagine me with all them butterflies flying aroung me. I think you would hear me scream all the way back to England. I know your next stop is at the end of the world ....spooky....Can't wait to hear your comments. Don't forget to take plenty of photos. Its been great being able to contact you on a regular basis. I really enjoyed talking to you on the internet. We must try with the camera link next time. We can all have a laugh at what we look like or me (jealous) because you are both tanned and I am still white. I better end now. You know what I am like when I get started. I will write non stop for England....Don't worry about anything just enjoy yourselves. Remember keep together at all times and keep in touch on a regular basis. Love you lots mum Vanessa xxxx
