P.S. (Moderate this bit out) - Jess, you left some toileries behind on the window sill - do you want any of it (eg, foundation?) posted to you? You\'ve probably replaced it all by now, but if so, give me an address and dates. I'm off to France and Portugal for 5 weeks on 8 June, so I'll need to send them before then)
P.P.S - Here's the blog to our 6-month overland trek across South America with the kids in 2009 (see the links in the right-hand nav, which explains all about it): http://takeadream.wordpress.com/
Fantastic photos I am wondering how you are ever going to settle at home after all this ... and just think..... NZ and Oz to come, not to mention SE Asia. Loved the photos on Facebook, stunning scenes. Do hope the weather is good for you at Machu Pichu.
wonderful times hello darlings. It gets more exciting by the minuite! Keep the blogs coming , enjoy and take care or yourselves too, we love you lots xxxxgrannie and David
Sounds wonderful The experience with the visa at the Brazilian border makes your trip unique, something you will never forget - suppose you have lots of similar adventures. The Falls sound amazing, a heavenly experience, can't wait to see your photos. Have you filled up the memory cards yet ?!!
Its great that you are meeting Uni friends in Rio - sure you'll have a great time and wonderful experience - watch out for pickpockets and touts !
We want to see a pic of you both at the Corcovado and Sugar loaf and on the Copacabana beach ( keep an eye on your things if you go for a swim). So glad you are having an amazing time - all the hours at Cafe Culture/Sainsburys/Hacketts/Waitrose were worth it !!
Love you
Planes, trains and..... Hi you two, read your latest last night and it sounds like your having a fantastic time and I'm extremely jealous - I had a trip to Birmingham yesterday - not quite the same. Anyway, the web (& papers) are full of a train crash that happened at Buenos Aires train station yesterday so you might want to just do a quick update to reassure people back home that you are alright. Meanwhile carry on having a great time,
Dad x
Latest blog Hi Darlings,
Was just beginning to think it was a while since we heard, I know not really but you set the bar high with the first really prompt one.
It all sounds so amazing, even your first "adventure" ended well, even though the hotel was not in the budget!
Writing this all down is going to make a great diary for you both to read back in years to come.
Have fun with your friends and look after each other, we love you lots.

wonderful reading Hello darlings, just turned on the computer prior to a quick turn on the floor for some pilates. What an experience to have had in BA and on you go now, it sounds as if you need quite a bit of stamina! Enjoy and look forward to hearing more. kiss kiss from us to you both granniexxxx
Carnival looks great - wait til you arrive in Rio Can't wait to see your pics of the Falls - I have always wanted to see them myself. Apparently they are amazing. great start to the trip in Bs As. Marcos sent me a lovely email to say how much they enjoyed your stay and what great kids you both are .... he congratulated to both sets of parents !!
How to see you Thurs ( Skype )
Carnival The insect looks very scary in the photo, what is it? Their energy must be huge if they
Party like that every weekend!
Bet you are sad about leaving Marcos et al, what a start, and having arranged your next step makes a lot of sense so you won't have to worry about where you are going to sleep- that would be my biggest worry!
I got this just as I was getting my iPad to listen to a story, so good timing. All well here, Josh you will be glad to know that I have got an Extreme Quilting workshop tomorrow night to learn how to make a Log Cabin! Haha!
Love and miss you darlings

OH WOW IT LOOKS FAB! You guys look to be having a wonderful time, Argentina sounds fascinating. We are wondering whether you would like to spend a couple of days in Rotorua and Lake Taupo with us over Easter? Let us know and we will get the hotel booked! LOL Penny Noel Oliver and Archie xx
Hello hi guys!! great to hear from you...here is the link to the kiwi experience we have already bought-
http://www.kiwiexperience.com/sheep-dog-backpacker-pass.aspx
we are more than happy to do those plans with you too, we dont mind going twice - we could just spend less time there second time round. We haven't booked anything yet but have heard great things about bay of islands too which we have allowed enough time to head up there from yours. email me any further plans and dates you had in mind- very excited to see you! lots of love xx
hello darlings Your mum says I'm stoopid! trying to prove otherwise! we loved the first blog and are thrilled you are taking in so much. Only wanted you to touch base with Josie whose no. I gave you. My first cousin so your? something something! have fun xxxx from a very cold and icy Suffolk.xxxxx
Don't forget Please can you ring Josie, because granny says they are a relative of ours on granny's side, just to say hi as they are in BA and are really hing you will get in contact. She gave you all the contact details! Rodney lives on a farm outside BA.
Don't leave without, or you will be in granny's bad books! She is incompetent and can't do this herself!
Hi from Wintery Witney! I wasn't expecting such a thorough and detailed first entry! It made such great reading, I really felt I was getting a good feel of what you are seeing. Good camera Josh!
You've really started your travels well, Marcos and family sound so kind and welcoming, please send my thanks for looking after you both so well.
The heat must have taken some getting used to? We feel really envious as it is bitter here, last night we had another fall of snow, beautiful to look at but everything slows to a halt and we planned to go up to Barnsley to do some finishing off at house. There has been one viewing so far but they have a max budget of 100K so not enough. Anyway, early days. But let's hope we are lucky and get shot ASAP .
Dont get too comfy there as you might not want to move on!
Love you both tons!
Ma xxxxxxx
Fro... What fro?!?
Everything looks and sounds amazing, I'm very very jealous!
Just heading out to Roar this eve with Duckie, Nat and Wall! Wish you were here! xxxxxxxxxx
