Travels with Cathy and Steve's Guestbook

Good to have you back. The Iguazu Falls really stood out for me. Looking forward to seeing your beads, Cathy. I love cable cars, looking forward to going up Table Mountain in one, Mara xx

Wow Rio sounds wonderful - one for my list I think. I can't believe you are back already - that seems to have gone so quickly. Sounds like you had an amazing time though

I really, really envy you!!
Hi Cathy It all sounds so amazing. Keep up the fun and let me know if and when you can Skype. Thinking of you. Joanne

Hi Cathy and Steve, You both look so relaxed in the photos, and good to see some fine weather and summery clothes. In the time I've cooked, cleaned, gardenned for an invasion of visitors over the long weekend you've "done Australia"! I had 10 visitors, my family and best mate Anni over as we had friends from Botswana visiting. All went very well,and I've nearly finished the washing up. So life here not quite as fascinating as yours... I loved the pecefulness of your treetop walk, in contrast to lots of high-rise bacgrounds, although I'm a city gal myself. The fishing boats and fish must be giving you mosaic ideas, Cathy, although your fish are pretty unbeatable! When I saw the temple rooftop I thought that was asking to be mosaiced and a few slides on there it was. I hope Santiago is great, I think that was one of the places you were really looking forward to. I won't make any crude jokes about fish balls as they are a Russian jewish dish too! I'm getting a few things together for the art trail, finished another little guinea fowl (what the world needs is more guinea fowl mosaics). Also got the library display next week. Debbie and Wisdom are both coming the first morning to set up and be around. I watched the main bit of the Royal Wedding with Debbie, smoked salmon and bubbly breakfast. Thought it was lovely, despite being a republican! Keep on having good times, Mara xx

spot on
your hong kong update, timed at 2.40, was timed spot on to follow lunch on sunday - for ma and the aunts to coo over, don't know ma will see any more before next sunday but we'll look in at around 3.00 so she can catch-up from h-k. R&P

Can't believe you'd be missing the wedding C - surely you were chosen to make the jewellery and lovely stole things that you make! Looking forward to the pics

So far yet so near
Hi guys, wonderful to be able to read your adventure as it is happening. Cathy, be sure to take pix of the backpack as it grows enroute. All well here, watching more royal wedding historics and runups, weather incredible AGAIN. Toms hearty and very healthy. Your favourite dog sends a lick. vb

Testing, testing
Hi Cathy and Steve, Never responded to a blog before, how exciting. Hope the flight was good, and Hong Kong has old and new treats. Finished the mosaics this morning, looking good. Mmoloki and family coming round for a long weekend which is lovely. Hong Kong makes me think of noodles? Have fun, Mara xx

bon voyage mes amis
to Cathy and Steve, We wish you a fantasticly memorable momentous trip. Shall open up your blog each day so dont forget to update whilst whoofing down the beef and climbing the bridge. Will be most interested in photos so take lots and post plenty. VB and BB (Bella la Barque)

Sounds like a great trip you've got planned. Enjoy the food and shopping and have fun!
