Hot?
Dear Team Free. I hear there's a heat wave in Russia? You didn't mention that it was particularly hot but the the fact the boys have been swimming says enough!

Hey Team Free!! What an exciting time you are all having. I'm enjoying keeping up with the posts & just can't believe how far you travel in betweeen posts. As expected Marcus, your comments are very humorous and I have to 'laugh on the inside' otherwise I'd disturb my work colleagues if I let loose with my raucous laughter!! You all bring a smile to my day when I read what experiences you've been up to & look at the wonderful photos & captions accompanying the stories. Looking forward to your ongoing adventures :-) I've completed my Peru/Chile trip, which my son Zac & I loved, but was only a drop in the ocean compared to your BIG adventure. Cheers Linylle
