Hi! Hi Ro and Richard,
Thats great you get to go back to east coast, hope we can catch up when you are settled in Auckland and you can tell us all about your adventures overseas :-)

Typical, Matt watched the video with me and tried to see if he could see Rohanis half naked reflection in Richards sunglasses ..... and then made me pause the video on the lady at the end of the shot!!
More coming! Yum, Cin Cin! Took Mum there for Mother's Day lunch last year.
Photos coming, just heading back to London today, so we'll have a big session on Lisa's computer soon!
Hi Hi trendy travellers
Home sick today with the flu so tucked up in my dressing gown and catching up on the news. Went to Cin Cin's on Sunday for Lewis's birthday lunch. Yum! Rob couldn't come cos he had the flu', hence where mine has come from!
Work sucks, weather sucks, but life is good. Roast pork on the menu for Sunday but I guess that doesn't appeal when tapas and tortillas are on the menu.
Molly is being a good girl and I'm actively looking for her a sister for her. Must be mad!
Rick get those photos on the blog, and another video or two please. It was great listening to Rohani's radio voice!
Miss you heaps
Love and hugs
Mum
Hey just followed the link to your blog from the Busabout forums. I'm almost caught up! I so agree with your comment about football though. I'm from North America and it's not that big here, but I have really tried to get into it. But the only impression I get is of lots of running around and falling while clutching yourself with little action other than that!
Also about your post a few days ago with the woman in the car accident. :( I read about that on someone else travelogue, how horrible. I hope she is okay.
How are you finding Busabout? I've noticed a couple of negative comments with regards to the guides and bus drivers so far.
Anyways, happy travels! Glad you're enjoying yourselves!

At Last... Hi Guys, well guess what, I finally got Deanna to find your Blog site for me and have sat and read your whole site - what a wonderful book this would make - you really have had the most wonderful time I know it is hard to describe things to people who have not been to these places but I have to say you're doing a pretty good job - keep up the good work oh and happy birthday Richard for the 20th June! Will be able to check in regularly now and enjoy all the giggles! Don't worry about the bad language nana's not averse to a few choice words herself!
Thanks! Hi guys, thanks so much for that - perfect timing as I fly to Prague tomorow - cannot believe I am here!!!
Went and hung out in hyde park yesterday and listened to some crows singing (please don't get angry with me Richard). I recorded some bits and pieces on my phone, so maybe I will figure out how to download them some time and send them to you.
Right, time to pack!!!

Dubai Showers... ... were brilliant when we were there! Twas a spa like place near the 5 star hotel in the airport that you could hire by the hour, nice n private like, but during our 4 hr layover having flown from NZ via every city possible, we decided to take advantage! Loving the comments, 2 man show is great guns - and when are you back in London town so I can come see you????? xxxx
Buggered.... S**t, just done my first workout at home with my fitness instructor on the internet - live! Didn't realise I was so unfit. Am going to try pilates on my next session. Terence has one more week left before he returns to work. He is still limping without crutches, getting quite restless and sick of daytime TV shows. He has watched every Wimbledon tennis match - live on TV and it is the mens finals today. Having a big bar-bq this weekend with friends then we hope to go camping the weekend after if the weather is good. How is your hand? Never been to Monaco but I hear it is quite an extravagant city with fancy big yachts and fast cars. I guess you might spot a couple of Ferrari's there. Well, back to the usual boring chores now - cook dinner, wash up, iron my pants, a cup of English tea then bed!
yeah I would be spewing well that sucks for you. Really does. lots of friends have told me that it's pretty impressive inside. but I guess you don't want to hear that right?
Well put it this way...least you're not stuck inside a production control room in the shittiest of buildings where the only ladies toilets are 3 floors up and are vile. Sri Lanka are currently 235-4,40.1 overs. first ball was 4pm and it's now 6.50pm. kill. me. now.
well hope the rest of the trip does not hold any more disappointment. let me know when you hit Madrid and I can hook you up with my old flatmate Pablo.
You poor bastards.... You poor bastards.... All that bloody heat, whilst we have about 10degrees, pissin down with rain, have to go to work every day, fight asian drivers, mow lawns in the rain.. then the day after you wash the car it rains again...( When did you say you guys were comming home.) Stay dry love yas...Dad.xx
Hey bro with the bung hand! (and ur lady) Sorry it has taken me ages to subscribe! Been busy with final exams and then the belated wonderful honeymoon in Australia with Sara. Love your pics! the Italian food got me drooling bro! Whats up with the bung hand? Ready to copy the queen's waving? Glad to see you guys are not lost in Europe yet (apart from Venice eh?). The hot weather over there looks brilliant. Lucky, it is freezing here in Wellington!! Make the most of your wicked times aboard and be merry. Enjoy! Love Dax (and Sara) :D
Welcome to the the 'real' world AT least the wine and food was OK. Rome does not figure highly on my horizons - spent too much time in Catholic churches in my youth as it were. Could handle the Vitcan I suppose, but they'd better be open!
such a shame.... about the hand and also that I've just found out today that Daniella will be in Venice in about two weeks. So you'll miss seeing each other. Although I hear she's due to head somewhere in France afterwards and then a spell back in the UK too. Might find out her dates and see if they clash at all, otherwise you'll see her back here in the Pore. Bonfires sound lovely, wiping with left hand was more than I needed to know :)
The venetian glass... Oh, I so luuurrrvvveee Venice even though it is quite touristy. Get the public boat to Murano - the glass island where I got the green necklace for Mum. I can't remember the name of this small glass jewellery shop and who knows if it's still there. This store was small, quirky and had a wooden theme (wooden walls). Some of these necklaces were already displayed in cute brown recycled boxes. Hell, there are glass stores everywhere on this island so no point in me trying to explain where I got it exactly. I've sent you an email with a picture of Mum wearing it so, check it out and see if you can get a similiar one. If you don't have time to visit Murano, then I'm sure there are a few glass shops in Venice. Lurrvv big Sis. x
Cheating Hey Ro Rick
It was so good to talk to you yesterday. I know it's sort of cheating but I was having withdrawals! I hope the rest of your day, (birthday), was a memorable one.
Molly says Hi as does Robbo. When in Venice can you find me a small piece of yellow venetian glass? Was going to hint but thought I should just ask outright!!! Cheeky eh.
Lisa got me a green piece, when she was there, to wear round my neck, so thought I could have an unmatching pair.
Birthday money going into your Visa on Wednesday. How much you ask? Surprise!
Rick, hope your hand is feeling better. Forget not drinking beer, drink as much as possible it kills the pain in your hand and moves to your head. At least your not thinking about your hand then!
Gotta go have gardening to do. Can't wait to see more photos!!!!!
Love and hugs Mum
xxxxxxxx
Harpy Birthsday! I know I've already sent you a text this morning but here we go again: *sings* Harrppyy Biirrrthsdddaaayyyyy toooo yooouuuuu!! Have fun in Austria and take care of your hand. Love big Sis x
Born Day Many Happies Richard. Although it doesn't sound like you're having a happy time with the cast on your arm. All the best for your 'Born Day' anyway.
Bed Bugs Must have been a far better class of traveller when I went around
Europe, not a bed bug in sight (or maybe I was drinking too much to notice them!!)
Please wish the one arm bandit Happy Birthday, all the best people have their birthdays at this time of the year, I can think of at least 8 other people with birthdays 20, 21, 22 June including moi tomorrow.
Well what will you be drinking?? Hello Double R's
Beautiful, 11 pm and I will be off to bed humming that jolly old Sound of Music tune all night... perhaps by the time you get to do your next post some other tune will have popped into your heads... We have recieved the CK postcard, thanks very much, the Prince has commented that he has never seen Czech Republic stamps before. How did the schnitzels compare with the Drury Butchers?
Something else about travelling ie CK vs Prague, it will be all the smaller places that will stand out but you have to go to the big ones too just to prove it to yourself, but dont miss out on Paris, looking forward to hearing about food in French railway stations.
Highlight of the week was finding Harrys bedroom window wide open the other day (middle of winter, strange thing) as it turns out he was piddling out of it, must have given builders in the paddock next door a good laugh watching an 8 year old stand on his bed to piddle out of the window.
Keep on trucking...MM
Richard and Rohani are finally doing the OE thing after years of saving and putting it off! Follow us through Singapore, London and Continental Europe in the Northern Hemisphere Summer! Things we do, places we go, people we meet and most importantly what we eat!... full info
