Great Blogs Pleased that everyone is enjoying our travels, it's nice to get feed back on what we are doing - Makes it all worthwhile. A few more comments wouldn't go amiss, as it's great to hear from family & friends.. Thanks for keeping us up to date Marg x
Sailing Hi Ron and Avril
What great Blogs, It's like being There, It's great. Shown John how to get into them, Looks foward to reading them with Kath, don't think he's brave enough to post a letter yet! Shall have to show him again.
Know Chris and Janice read them not sure about Dave though!!!
People & Cultures Yes! We are certainly enjoying the experience. Doing it this way, we are able to see how the real people live - A lot more interesting than an organised tour, where they take you to all the touristy parts. We have had to interact with the locals to get by and that's been challenging and fun... Glad you're enjoying our travels. Keep the comments coming, keeps us from getting home sick and it means we are not forgotten. Plus, they are entertaining too. Take care both
My cheap round the world trip G'day you two
Thank you both for such an array of photos and vids.
You should be very proud of youselves for getting so far without too much hassle.
From all that I have seen you must be having a whale of a time, meeting all sorts of different people and cultures, and making quite a few more friends.
I am glad that you have gone on this RTWT cause it will mean that Yvonne & I don't need to spend all our life savings doing it, because every night i check my emails to see what part of the world we will be visiting. It is just like being there with you.
I hope you have kept a dairy so that you can write your Travel Book when you return.
If you need any info when you get to OZ let me know.
All the best
Tony & Yvonne.
Small World Lovely to hear from you. It's surprising how many have subscibed!We feel flattered, that so many are interested in what we are doing. Hope all is well with you, Avril & Ron.
It's a small world! Hi, Jane from Oxfam showed me how to subscribe to your site and It's great to see what a fantastic time you're having. Such a strange coincidence as my best friend lives in Chongqing ! I'm sure she would have given you a tour of the city but she's in USA at the moment! All the best, Anne.
Popeye Food Could do with a food parcel, can't get to grips with pigs ears and chicken feet!!! We are fading away...... Soon you won't see us in any photos!!!
Drum City! Coo er. Not for the sensitively-eared ones!
Great to see you're still gadding about jauntily.
Greetings from all in Oxfam!
Want any spinach for the Moon Festival??
Keep em coming just got back from Kenya and have caught up with your blog. Looks as if you are having great fun, pictures are good, possible reason for people taking photo's is security police. OK so you like Mc donalds don't rub it in. Keep em coming love Steve
Travel Spinach Think we could use some.... Sushi not going down well, same with noodles (used to like them, till the pot noodle train). Cakes are wicked, could live on them.... Drums & Bells to follow - I messed up, hadn't even written it yet!!!
Packing Chinese Heat Coo er! Not that size is important, eh?
'Is that a missile in your pocket or do you just want to cement our alliance in a Platonic fashion?'
Hey, your drums and bells blog shows as 'deleted'. What DID you write in it??
Greetings from autumnal Hereford: still got some travel spinach if you so want....
What a lovely way to spend the day! Lovely to read your latest update, and with so many gorgeous pics, too!
You make a lovely empress, deary! Lurrrved the hat, especially.
You are missing an ice-cold north wind: just thought you should know. It's gloves and scarf weather here.
Off to make some more raspberry jam - shall I send some with some travel spinach post restante somewhere??
Cheers for now, great to see how much fun you're having!

"SPENDING THE KIDS INHERITANCE"
Well thats what the kids accuse us of - so, (Skid & Skim) ski/daddy and ski/mummy are doing just that.....
2 Brits off around the world on August 19th 2007 and don't they just hate us for it!!!!
No! - They think it's great that a couple of oldies have got the guts to go backpacking for 12 months.
We are no strangers to travelling and have already experienced white water rafting in Colorado, "Skim" has also been brave enough to do a bungee jump.
OK we are in our 50s, but it doesn't mean we are going to sit back and wait to die.
