Happy New Year Hi Coral and Steph,
Just keep sending the blog and lovely images and making it seem even worse back in blighty! It is just getting colder and colder and with a nice week's supply of antibiotics and promise of no alcohol this NY, it's nice to know there is a life outside our sinking island! You escaped just in time.
Have a fabulous journey, you are an inspiration!
Love Egyptian Heather
AntarcticWhat a fantastic experience - beautiful!! Im sure Clare will add her own words when she has read What a fantastic experience - beautiful!! Had to give an initial reaction....Im sure Clare will add her own words when she has seen the blog! Somerset House and dinner overlooking the Thames tonight for the fireworks....Happy New Year wherever, as and when... Dave x
Coral An amazing and thoroughly detailed blog. When I first met Coral our class had to sing "Here we go round the Mulberry Bush" and we were 18!
PS Who here thinks Coral has been copying her blog straight out a travel guide (sorry coral, couldn't resist that one!)
Do they barbecue penguins? I joke! We just had pork here and turkey on Boxing Day! Well we could do with some of your warm weather here. It is freezing and we are promised it will get worse. My car information system jkeeps showing mea snowflake! Christmas was a bit warmer. You both seem to be enjoying the heat and the food. Happy new year wherever you are, I cannot remembr offhand. Love Janet

Seasons Greetings! Hello you both and Merry Christmas from us all here. Great to hear your news and see that you are having fun. Take care of each other and carry on having a good time. Ax
Only You! Only you could do this! You have enough guts for all of us, I think. You go girl!! Have a wonderful time, I will read blogs but will not always comment!!! Only check emails once every two weeks if I'm lucky. Hope to see you soon. Lots of love Angiexxxxx
Wow! Looks and sounds great Hi Coral. What an exciting few months you have got coming up! I am very impressed. I shall look forward to reading the blogs again, was a great way to keep up to date with what you were doing.
Hope to see you very soon.
lots of love, Barbara xxxx
Welcome Home! I have been following your Blog and it's great that you are now safely home, I am looking forward to catching up to you one of these days.
You have had an experience and a half, fantastic.

Fantastic! Coral
You are an inspiration! You certainly have had some awesome adventures and clearly touched some many lifes - here and there! I think that our trip will pale in comparision! Perhaps in time we can hook and swop some war stories!
Remember - keep that dream alive!

How time has flown!!! Hi Coral,
I've really enjoyed reading your blog. It's been so interesting and informative and I'm going to miss them! And I'm going to have to stock up on chocolate once you're back. Really looking forward to seeing you again - it's seems ages since you were here and yet, it doesn't seem a minute ago that you were leaving.
We'll all have to go to the Crab and Anchor and see if that family are still there......
See you soon,
Kate

What an amazing view! Wish I had the guts to do something like paragliding, the view from the mountain looks amazing!It seems wierd to hear about other countries all heading home for the Easter break. For some reason I always think of just the developed countries celebrating and having time off over Easter, when of course, it's actually probably far more important to the less developed countries, where it's not all commercialised by tons of chocolate and easter eggs!! Not long left now, can't believe it'll be April next week already! Hope you've got a nice thick jumper to put on when you arrive back in the uk! Take care, Luv Cherylxx
Suggested title for your forthcoming book.... How about The Long Drop as opposed to The Long Way Down!! Love your blog, the best thing I've read in ages! Keep up the good work!

To all blog readers !!! There have been a lot of readers who are obviously moved by the plight of the people of Ghana and Africa in general. There is something everyone can do that would make a real difference to individual families and that is sponsorship. My hubby and I have been sponsoring a girl in Nicaragua for eight years. It only costs £18 a month and we write to each other and also get a progress report once a year with recent photos etc. Just a thought for anyone who wanted to do a little something practical. We sponsor through 'Plan' but there are other organisations who do the same thing. Anyway, well done sis' for sticking with it, see you soon, Vicky.x.
Thank you! Your weekly blog has been a fantastic reminder to us how well off we all are here in the UK. When we're moaning about the lastest Budget increases etc, you remind us that many are struggling to make it on a daily basis and have so little compared to us. You have obviously made a great impact on the people and communities you have been involved with and you have made a big impact on us readers too. It's been a great wake up call; a reminder of what we have, rather than what we haven't got. So Thank you and keep it up. Enjoy the rest of the adventure. Love from Alison.
you r a bloody star Coral , I take my hat off to you mate. No hair straighteners, no moisturisers, no andrex and no cadburys. How do you cope ?
You are a tough one that is for sure and the Fleet triatholan looks like pimps next to your adventure.
Proud of you xxxxxxxxxxxx
Wow, what a great PE teacher! I tell you what, I wish I'd had someone like you to teach me P.E. at school, I would have enjoyed it alot more than I actually did! Makes me wish I was there joining in, what fun!! Isn't it amazing how something as simple as a balloon can brighten somone's day in such a dramatic way?! Wouldn't it be a great idea if some of the ungreatful, spoilt, tearaways that live in this country, could spend some time living as those children out there do?! I'm not surprised you're homesick, seeing what those children cope with on a daily basis, must make you desperate to see your friends and family? You're doing so well, and making such a difference, so just remember that. Not much longer left now. You take care, Luv Cherylx
