Ditched the baggage?

Hi Dave
Wow, I am so jealous of your travels, your photos are amazing. Knowing you are now in Melbourne makes me feel really homesick. I would love to be there to show you around.

Hi Dave
Good to hear from you at last! Thought you'd got lost! Great blog and pics. I got back from NZ a couple of months ago so I know what you mean about it being such a beautiful and varied country. Auckland was my fave place! Hope you're enjoying Oz.

Hi little mate! Just been reading your blog with a cold glass of vino after a blazing hot day here! Always good to hear from you. Nicky says she's been put off doing a South America trip!!! Far too dangerous! Have you booked Holland yet? Keep safe Paul and Nicky x

Good Lord... what were you doing to the rabbit?!
Like everyone else... I was getting worried that we had lost you in some remote South American village having hijacked the lorry and decided to live rough with a native girl... so it was great to see the blog and all the wonderful pics... but what were you doing to the poor bunny!!!

Nice one David - despite the hammocks and the rain, sounds like you're still having a great time. Liked the account of New Zealand, my partner David knows the place and there may be a chance of going this/next year... Good luck in Oz! I'm still getting used to rainy Totnes... Jon
