First of all, thanks for all your messages, its good to see that the blog is being read and it works! (hope you are reading this Amanda-ed) We have spent the last couple of weeks in Peru, our next stop after Arequipa was a little town called Huachachina that exists purely for tourists because of the HUGE sanddunes surrounding it and the oasis that is set in the middle of the town- all abit mad! ...

WOW
I am very impressed with the pictures, you are very brave! I don't think that shot of you in swimming Nick looks very healthy, THE WATER I MEAN! You are certainly seeing all the wildlife. Iwent with Lynn today to buy her lounge curtain material, it awaits my needle now. I am also sending you an e-mail, + attachment. Dad has gone off on his Rail excursion so I'm off up to town to get some flowers. Keep safe, love you MUM

Hi guys - all this sounds brilliant!!! The pictures look amazing.....keep them coming! The thought of sharing a room with one of those spiders is enough to make you become an insomniac! Swimming in the amazon is pretty brave.....is that why the water's brown?

Loved reading all about your trip this morning at school. Where do you find somewhere to record it when you are in the Amazon??? I am very glad I am not there, swimming in that horrible water and having a monkey on my head. Still each to his own!! Had a good weekend. Girlfriends came to stay so it was slightly wild. Good job we don't get together very often. Lucy has passed her TEFL course although the paperwork hasn't yet come through. She returns home today for a rest! Polly has moved but haven't seen the flat yet. Next week is half term. No plans but will make some. Have to go. Lots of love Viv

Great pictures guys - more and more jealous by the entry! May have to ask the student to get a job abroad! Life here is fine - London same old - except now a bit chilly and FAR too dark in the morning and evening for my liking :-) Take care of yourselves and look forward to receiving the next installment. Love Kate and Tony xxx
