Hell Fire Sounds like your trip was a trip from hell but I have to say I expect that you have all been told not to trust strangers or hand over money in advance to someone you don't know. I doubt that it will happen again.I am glad that you all survived the car ride and that Gina is now an expert at the crash position.Shame about the grotty hostel but I am pleased you found a nicer one so that you could enjoy the lovely beaches that you keep finding.The fire dance photo looks good maybe it is a good job that none of you got involved in that i dread to think what could have happened.Still loving the snorkelling then girls I take it Gina didn't fancy trying to fing the octopus.Your neighbour looks interesting i take it that it didn't make it into your room.I don't know how you sleep at night I would want someone on watch.I hope the next journey is better than the last.

Carry On Up The Jungle OOHH frog alert I bet you didn't have any toad in the hole for dinner.I can just imagine you three walking in the dark with growling noises in the background a case of panic attack I think.At least you found out about the leeches before it was too late that could have been fun.As for the rope bridge above the jungle it does look a little flimsy to say the least but hey after jumping out of a plane what the hec it's nothing.Got your own back then on the owner of the bar for not showing the footie by not paying for your last drink then well I'm glad nobody stopped you as you might have ended up with no heads.Knowing you three I wouldn't be surprised if you told the Jap tourists that the water ride was really dangerous and that you got tossed out of the boat into a river of crocs. but you managed to get back into the boat.I think I did see on the t.v. that rats are very much eaten in one country I think it was a footie country but I take it you didn't fancy cathching one and eating it then I must say I would have been out of the place like a shot knocking everything over in site i expect.Photo's are good .Glad Jem has got new camera.The views were great from the tall building. Croak croak for now (frog sound)Take Care and Enjoy the Time in thailand. Love to you all Den and John Casey xxx
I'm a Celebrity (Backpacker), Get Me Outta Here! Hey girls, Catching up on a few blogs I missed whilst away in sunny Spain. KL looks fab and must be dead cheap (when you're not being swindled but I wouldn't have trusted them on the hotel front as per your next blog!)
You do a lot of topping up the tans - I'm surprised you get to see any of the sights... :-)
Keep having fun and looking forward to seeing you all in 5 weeks. Love, Jo xx
Well look at you trying to be a jungle trekker too!!! bet you didn't get bitten as many times as i did!!!!!
Love the piccies of KL and towers, looks amazing, did you have CZJ moment? : )
Can't wait to see you when you back!! xx
Rags to Raffles Looking at the picture of you at the Raffles statue i wondered if you would chance your arm at the snooty world famous Raffles hotel. Today's paper had an article on Singapore and said you could get a meal at the roadside stalls for a £1 thus saving enough to get a tipple at Raffles for £6 but perhaps your backpackers attire might not have induced you to try. Very funny pic of you carrying the big cat off.
Thank God for McDonalds there you go again - we're all imagining a tropical island paradise palm trees sun and rippling waves and you mention going round the corner to MacDonalds to get over your hangover - spoilt the image. Happy birthday to the centenarian - great picture of the three of you taken at the celebration. Since you seem to be into turtles a lot lately thought you might be interested to know the oldest turtle in the world died yesterday in Oz 187 years old (not much older than Gina) and rumoured to have met Darwin during his travels.
Big plate needed Those chopsticks sure looked big just imagine the food on the large plate that would be needed. Hey girls come on haagen daz and macdonalds you are not in England you now you know but hey if it's hot a girl has to cool down.It sure sounds hot there and although great to see around the city I am sure it was lovely to get away from the main part and go off to a quieter place but with Fi and Jem shrieking with the bats it could have turned out to be the noisiest.Not very good at hoola hooping then jem never mind i am sure you kept Fiona and Gina entertained at least you got to go in with the dolphins so you can be a member of their club now.The laser and music show sounds good and we have always thought the car changing into a robot advert was good so that must have looked something.okay girls carry on sweating the haagen daz off. Au revoir for now. Take Care Love Mum and Dad Casey. xxx
Totally Jealous What a wonderful place Bali looks and sounds.It's a place I have always wanted to go after seeing the film South pacific.Maybe on our 30th wedding anniversary.Once again you have put together another great read for us.I don't think i could have had that bird on my arm Fiona it had quite a fierce looking beak.Jem your little cous cous friends look very friendly on your arm you may be smiling but what are they doing!!! i assume they are just holding on to one another.lucky escape Gina you could have had your first snake bite good on you for even trying to hold a snake it's certainly not for me.Glad to know you can all still grab a bargain all those shopping bags look good in the photo as you take your dip in the pool.We are glad you all enjoyed yourselves on Gina's birthday but I think maybe next time you just might check out how much of a massage you are going to get even though you all ended up having a good laugh.Take Care girls and continue to enjoy every moment. Lots of love to the three of you. Love Mum and Dad Casey xxx
BeautifulBali Right now I know where I would like my retirement home to be....I'll have the hotel you were in...remember Fi when I get old send me there it looks so beautiful. You are now working your way back to the UK so make the most of your last month. take care

Batwoman You girls do push your luck ... at least bats won't do too much harm....just don't go and try and play with the lions.
Once again very entertaining travelblogs....you are really packing everything into your time in each country...love to you all
xx
Glad you are having such a great time............Your mum had a fit on the sky diving photos............. good for you! see you very soon enjoy the rest of your time out there. Love Liz x

We to have been trying out the sun and pool and great food. needless to say clothes are getting tighter (for dad ).bet you are keeping up with the football as are we.You have now arrived in singapore so enjoy it and stay safe. Lots of love Den and John xxxxx
Gina embarrassed by Jem & Betsy - Nah!! I can't believe Gina was embarrassed by Jemma and Fiona! They not loud at all. Mind you I bet it was a sight watching those two with snorkels on!!! I'm suprised snorkelling didn't keep them quiet!! Only joking! Sounds like you still having a great time - you lucky cows! I'm still soldiering on with the course - zzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!
Enjoy, keep making me envious and take care, love and beer

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GINA! Hi Gina, just wanted to say happy birthday! The pictures look fantastic, we love the koala and the beautiful waterfalls. Carry on living it to the full, it really looks like a once in a lifetime trip! Love to you and be safe, Marian, Nic + Jess xxx
hello bali Good morning, You are now in Bali - I hope they know that 3 wild women have arrived. I presume there is a bit of sunbathing going to be done over the next week or so - catch up with your suntan. What were you running from Fi - obviously something frightened you. You have seen some beautiful waterfalls. Keep blogging and take care

Gorge ous Girls what can I say you all look simple georgous in the photo's there are some great shots of the three of you.(oopps I meant simply).Well done my kid for mending the loo I am glad you are now into D.I.Y. as I could do with a hand.Fair play to Fiona for getting accom. down in price good girl.As for the pig well it could have been free food if you had hit it you could have had a barbie.Glad to see you are still managing to beat the fella's at pool as for Jem loosing on the drinking games I just can't believe it maybe now you have done press-ups you might try harder next time!!I to like the swing bridges infact about l4yrs ago whilst visiting my cousin in L.A. we were on one and laughed so much she peed her pants (she was pregnant at the time). I hope this didn't happen to you three (man made water fall).You are certainly finding lots of interesting little place to go to it all looks truly amazing.Next stop Bali yet another beautiful place to enjoy. Take care girls and enjoy. Lots of Love den and John Casey xxxxxxxxxxx
Wow!! Hi girls....fab pics yet again. You all looked amazing on the sky diving pics and not a glass of alcohol to be seen!! All this walking and swimming etc, you`ll be putting in for the next olympics. Thanks for all the blogs you keep sending, hope it`s not too arduous a task but they are much appreciated. You all look very fit and healthy, love the red tshirt Jem! Keep enjoying yourselves and stay safe, looking forward to the next installment of your travels....Lots of love J xxxx
Bali bound Oz - bin there done that. You seem to have been getting prettty wet inside and out over the last few days and now cant wait for the next adventures in Indonesia. So maybe its like leaving the 'new world' and returning to 'old world' as in South America - I suspect you prefer that.
Our temperatures will be matching yours this weekend so we will take a leaf out of your book put our feet up chill out with a beer or two and watch the world cup start up.
Come on England.
Big Balls Fiona, you always told me that I had the feminine genes in the family, what you never told me was that you had the male genes, you must sis, because it certainly takes a lot of balls to jump out a plane, congrats you nutta, take care and I love pink car!!!
Dilemma !4000 feet into outerspace and you're all having to consider whether to stay in your toy plane or jump out - brings new a meaning to 'being between a rock and a hard place'.
Deciding on the latter required balls but perhaps that would be a gender contradiction.
The shot showing Gina, I think, freefalling with the Earth's curvature in the background was stunning and should ensure you all have bragging rites over your mates for a few days at least - beat that I hear you say.
Well now you all have pictures to look back on when your old and grey and say 'I did that'.
You take my breath away Firstly you will be glad I have written the title and not sung the song to you as apparently I have the worst voice going.Well girls you managed to get the sky diving in after all.Seeing as you had no luck doing it in n.zealand I wondered if it had gone by the board but no you done it and I am so glad that I did not find out till after the event.You look as if you all really enjoyed it but why does jemma always seem to be sitting down on the job or is that a different way of doing things.I can just imagine the screams Fiona from the other two when bats got too close Gina usually disapears into me somehow when a pigeon gets close.You didn't fancy the drinking game then girls with the fella's in bikini's it's a wonder you lot let the boy's keep their bottoms on!!!Well now you all know what it's like to be a barbie Doll.You use to play with them now you've been one but from memory she had a pink sports convertible not a Dinky toy but but it looked fun all the same.Once again the beaches look breathtaking as do the sky diving pics.Well done girls you have done some amazing things. Things most people only dream about doing.Take care and stay safe lots of Love mum and dad casey xxx
Well Done - is it the birds next Gina??? Well done girls, what an achievement!!! Its a pity you didn't record the bats flying at the car it would have earned you £250 on you've been framed. When are you going to hold a bird then Gina - what about an emu??? Keep on having fun, try to be good, love paula, paul & connorxxx
Flying,Sailing,walking....what's next I must admit that you are three gutsy girls.......don't think the boys would have gone near the plane. Photos are fantastic as usual....compliments to David Bailey....no comments on the driver this blog so she has obviously taken the lead off her boot - or did the little pinky not go that fast. The beaches look like paradise. Take care and love to you all.

What no chips All those fish and not a chip in site never mind girls you stick to the chicken salad it's much healthier for you (snigger snigger).I must congratulate my daughter on entering the sea to do some snorkelling as we know how much she hates fish anywhere near her.As for Fiona and Jemma well done on not getting eaten by Jaws although it might of been a new storyline in the making for a new Jaws film.The unidentified object under the sea was a bit hard then it came to me - it's that mad driver woman who tried to kill you all in the creek with the air bag still stuck to her.(sorry jem had to be done).It's probably fair to say that while Fiona was swimming to the shore gina and jemma were probably excercising their vocal chords (maybe one a bit more than the other) on getting Fiona to swim faster. Well done once again on the photo's girls you are certainly making Australia look tempting. Continue to enjoy your travels and remember to be careful. Lots of love mum and dad casey xxxxxx
Unbeknown - if you believe that ! So you found a boozing trip with a little sailing in between and fell over board a few times - just your style.
Very disappointed you didn't manage a picture of Jaws but I suppose you were hiding behind the coral reef - bloody sure I would have been.
Heard of Easter Island (somewhere in the Pacific) but not Whitsunday - so little by little my geography improves - off to check the map again.
By the way rumour has it that bath water flows down the plug hole the other way round in the southern hemisphere - have you noticed?
Myself , Gina and Jemma have decided to pack in our jobs in favour of 6 months backpacking round the world.
Starting in Rio in February we are travelling around Brazil, Argentina, Chile and taking on the Inca trail in Peru. After South America we are returning to the western world and some hot showers in NZ and Oz before and a week basking in the Bali sun. After recharging our batteries in Bali we're off again to Singapore, travelling up through Malaysia to the Thai islands, Bangkok and hopefully time permitting to Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam.... full info
