...hopefully be seeing you soon! My my... has it really been six or so months since you set off! How times flies. Been a lot of fun reading up on the latest adventures and noting the latest haircut! ...But not quite as much fun as I'm sure yous have had. Anyway, enjoy what remains of the escapade, and hopefully we'll catch up fairly soon. Laters, Matthew.

Hello & help Hi there.
I am going to a conference in Cape Town and I have 5 free days to explore. I'd love to get an African more cultural experience. What would you recommend outside CT? Is Namibia doable in 5 days? How do you make arrangements?
Great photos! Enjoy your trip.

Beautiful Photos Hello Nate and Anna,
All the photos look amazing! You guys look like you are having a wonderful time with the locals (people and animals). I especially love Victoria Falls. Enjoy! much love to you, Rita.
OMG its Owen!! Hi Kiddleys, wow what great shots I am truly envious. Thanks god Nathan cut his hair he was looking more and more like Owen Hargreaves!!! Thankfully you are well and safe and thats the main concern. We are experiencing 35C temps so you can imagine the underground at peak time...not for the squemish!! Oh well, it wont last!
Have a great time in Africa very different I am sure.
Love you both Pa and Val xxx
lovely to hear your news Hello Anna and Nathan,i have really missed your adventures and pics.
Glad that your still having a fantastic time.
Let me know if you need any advise in Africa?
I couldnt believe that i got sent to germany this week and England got knocked out!!!Then I spent 24hrs in stuttgart the day before Germany played Portugal.My timing is crap.And this is coming from the person that went to Berlin the day AFTER the wall came down!!!oh ive just asked you if you needed any advise whilst in Africa,Id ignore that if I was you.
Anyway it was a great atmosphere.
Keep the news and photos coming.
Briefly saw your sis Anna,as she had her hair cut by James just after me.Good cut but obviously not a patch on you !!
lots of love nicola xx
The 5* Kids Chicken fish is the future! We've seen it!.
Can't you see a resembelance between the reclining Buddha and Damian.
Told you that it would only get hotter, hope that you have got used to the heat. Should come to Bangaldesh it is pouring down.
How are Anas teeth. Ed has broken his wrist playing squash. Anything to get out of driving in the UK!. He is however fine now and after the sympathy I will kill him for being a goon!.
Trip looks to be going well and definetly going to go to the Perhension islands ourselves next year. KL was great. See you at Christmas.
Now the kids want a monkey!!!!! How fantastic was it seeing you guys on webcam last night!!!!! It was so surreal!! Brilliant that technology allows us to see each other from where ever we may be in the world - mum couldn't quite get her head round it but was soooo excited for the rest of the night! The kids starting asking if you were coming over later in the evening....... had to explain to them that you were still miles away but they thought you were near as they had just seen you on the 'tele!!!!!'..... The photos are brilliant! Fabio and Elisa now would like a monkey as well as a Koala...... over to you guys for this one!.... Nate, I think you can be our next David Bailey (minus the hair though....) - all credits to the photo you took of Anna and the fountain! The picture of the white sandy beach looks paradise and the monkeys are adorable! Can't wait for your next update - you're living your dreams - enjoy your every moment! Missing you loads and loads and loads and loads!!!!! Lots of love always, Lor, Joe, Elisa and Fabio xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Sold on Byron The pics look stunning and you clearly having a ball! Enjoy it all.. I was sold on the Byron Bay picture.. absolutely sensational!! Did you go surfing? Do you need a bag carrier? ;) JD
G'day Hi guys,
Bet it was lovely seeing family over there- I've got an aunty in Sydney too (!) and it has really made me think I should go over there (can't face it yet though - I would rather spend 24 hours in a chinese torture chamber rather than 24 hours in a plane with a toddler!) . You both looked very tanned and happy - I love the koala bear;I would LOVE to cuddle one of those!!! We have had our FIRST warm weekend over here and we are all so grateful for it you'd think it was a complete freak of nature to actually be able to sit out in the garden in a t-shirt! Went out on Sunday with Lori, Joe, Fabio and Elisa to have lunch at Pizza Metro which was lovely. I am very lucky to have such a lovely friend living so close by.
Speak soon,
Jane
I want a Koala!!!!! Ahhhh, they look soooooo cute!!!!!! I love these photos and mum too was so pleased to see you both and the ones of Aunty Rose and Co. Everybody looks really well! The BBQ's sounded awesome - one day we too will have the delights of Uncle Ken and Aunty Rose's BBQ's..... Elisa and Fabio are now wanting you to send them a Koala pet..... Fabio loved the finger puppets and has come up with some really crazy story lines about Zia Anna and Zio Nathan so you have that to look forward to when you come back..... something was mentioned about your extra facial hair Nathan...... Missing you guys so much - enjoy the next three months - it may go by too soon for you but not soon enough for us..... Love you and speak to you soon, Lo, Joe, Elisa and Fabio xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I've found the new John Travolta! Nathan, all that was missing was your 30th Birthday outfit!! You almost convinced me it was John Travolta especially with the wacky hair do! I love it really - never seen you with your hair so long! It's great news about the new baby on the way! Congratulations to your sister and her hubby! Anna, you look so relaxed in that self built jacuzzi!! - I would do anything to be able to join you and so wish I was there with you especially now at Aunty Rose's..... Enjoy the bbq's! The japanese guys are exactly what I imagined - can just hear them now singing the YMCA and forever repeating 'It's hotttttt!!' all night long! All is well this end. Kids and Joe are well. Think of us along with 15,000 other on Saturday night as it's the Moonwalk night..... Will send you photo of us in our bright sun flower bra's! Mum is well and is missing you - she often wonders what you're up to and where you are and I think is secretly counting the days till your return..... Can't wait to get the next Travel blog with all your news from Australia. Take care and speak over w/end. Love you and miss you... Lo, Joe, Elisa and Fabio xxxxxxxx
wow pictures are LOVELY...I particularly like the one with Anna in the traditional dress with the older lady - and the one of the gorgeous kiddies. Bet you wanted to sneak a couple in your rucksack! (thats probably how they travel anyway!!) How are you going to tear yourself away from all of these amazing experiences? I can't wait to see your new zealand pics because it is meant to be so scenic (more-so than Australia) and is a place I would love to go to. Have fun (as if you're not going to!!) Jane x
Check out the Balineese skirt! Elo Love! Wow! My Mum just sent me the link to your journey site, I am soooo impressed and not to mention JEALOUS! I am really pleased that you are both having such a wonderful time. The photos are 'o' so professional! You know that! I'll keep 'a' checking the site and it will be really nice to see you babe when you come back to Blighty! :0) Love Lots xx

Hoorray!! You survived the Amazon!.... We thought it would be much worse than you described!!..... bet you were relieved there weren't too many creepy crawlies lurking about!... The photos look fabulous and the one of you Anna and all those children is so capturing.... I'm sure you'll remember all those little innocent faces for a very long time. The one of you and grandma is brilliant - costume looked fab on you! And Nate, you look like you were really enjoying your snack - you were thinking of mum's Lasagne really weren't you...... That beard and tash keeps growing...... not sure where Brad Pitt comes in though - haven't seen him in a while but you could well be looking like him...... Fabio and Elisa still get confused when they see you.... So wish we could be there with you - it's hard at times but at least we're in May now..... sorry, shouldn't wish the time away but I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU BOTH !!! Love you loads, Lo, Joe, Elisa and Fabio xxxxxxxxxx

The 'Gaster's' say Hi Hello Guys
It's lovely to hear all your Fab Travel News - it's makes my day at work a lot more interesting! You both look fantastic and so happy. I've shown the site to Pasky - who now has itchy feet again...
Anyway - Take care and can't wait till the next update xx Angie, Simon, Luca and Lia xxx
Breathtaking!!!! Hi guys, we're lost for words! What an amazing experience!!! The two of you did sooo well - not sure how we'd have survived!!!! No doubt we'd have really struggled!...... - reckon that after day 1, Mr and Mrs Kipling would have wanted a break for a cuppa and a slice of what ever was going!!! The views look breathtaking and we can't wait to see more photos when you're back. The little kid's outfit looks so gorgeous - must be hard not to get drawn into their little tactics when they look so cute! We can't wait to hear all about your Amazon experience - remember to wear all those extra layers to keep those creepy crawlies out!!! Take care guys and look forward to speaking to you soon. Love you and missing you lots and lots, Lo, Joe, Elisa, Fabio and Mamma xxxx
