Hi J, Crater Lake looks fantanstic - reminds me of Oregon, and Califonia, its a shame we did not have ponies to take us up Halfdome. Or is it? How is your bottom? Great pics, I will have to drag mum out of bed and down to the reception desk so that she can see them. The weather forecast is for another wet day. 8-( Dad Xx
Wow! Charlotte this is spectacular! Forget Etna! Have you got a new hat? I keep sending comments! They might appear on the blog! Bet you all needed cushions and walk funny for a few days! This trip is amazing..Love you Trish
Cath - That view is stunning in this pic, and that's lucky you're a 'horse person'! Also congrats on reaching the top of that glacier :) France is fabbbb, gorgeous food, views, and the hotel is amazing! But we cycled 13.5 miles yesterday, so not your scene! See you soon, Torse xxxxxx
Hi J, We are getting more than our fair share of thunderstorms in Tuscany! Got totally drenched on Tuesday. I didn't even walk today and the others were back within 2 hours looking like drowned rats! Mountain scenery beautiful. Your crater lake looked absolutely terrific. Wow, what an experience trecking up there! Hope the old leg muscles have recovered! Love getting the blogs. Thanks Mart! Love Mum XXXXX
Wow what you have done looks amazing!!! We worked it out today you only have 10 days left so enjoy it while it lasts!!!
Just sitting in the club house with a sore throat :( not good! Very windy so think all the mini sailors are coming back in !
Dermot bless him is the bees knees!! Pirate day today much to oscar's discust we bought him a pistol gun and a dagger haha dermot has a flag ooh and oscar has parrots !
Granny is coming today, so im sure she will blog you tomorrow!
Ohh and i would just like to add that i am not at all amused at Ben's comment about how loudly i sleep! I WAS ON THE FLOOR ABOVE HIM! :) lol
Hi Ross:- Looks good and fun all that you are doing! Lots of photos to show us we hope?
Big snake went into the pond here, through the net! Ate a huge Frog and then that part of his body which was about 1.5” diameter, was now 3.5”ish and would not go back through the net to get away. And instead of waiting a few days till then food went down it decided to wriggle itself into a huge tangle, it got completely stuck! We managed to get it out and took a few photo’s.
:L like your hat Becky.Guess what i got the other day...converse all stars!:D hope you liked your Italian poo head and that your having a good time.Puzzle has been doing good he has been getting polo's every time i ride him so i think he likes it now . he got a bit confuzzled at first probably cause I'm a shorter version of you, but he soon got used to it.hope you are having a good time love Holly :D p.s mum,dad and bailey send there love. oh and your rooms a gym
What a fantastic view! Bet it was worth the trek up - were you all saddle sore? :) I want to be there!! I bet this is giving you a real taste for travelling in the future? I love the tiniest amount of what I've seen in South America and would love to explore more. You'd need to come though Millie as my Spanish is shocking. David has a habit of being very embarrassing when in a foreign speaking country too. 'Can..... you.... tell..... me' Like talking slowly is going to help!! Love Melissa xx
Many apologies that you are feeling neglected, Martyn and Kay. Following your adventures avidly when not watering the garden or lying in the sun!! Look forward to seeing the pics. x mum & dad H
Hi Becky Glad to see you're having a good time, hope the pizza was nice. Did the boys have sore botty's after the horse riding? Enjoy the rest of your trip, it won't belong before you can start getting your nails nice again!
Hey nannon, i really miss you alot now. and i hate having time on my hands because it's when i miss you the most. so karisa's been keeping me company and taking my mind off of everything :D i really can't wait for you to be back, but you look like your having a great time :) i don't have much news to tell you apart from that my party was fun and tae kwon do's not the same without you. oh and sasha told me to say she missed you alot in art graphics and that it wasn't the same without you there. mums annoying as usual but she's letting me doo quite alot of stuff so it's great, such as letting me catch a bus by myself for once, shocker!! i miss you coming in to my room and swearing at me, so hurry up and get back! oh and by the way, i'm 99% sure i have an alcohol intolerance.... mum loves it. however i am extremely ... annoyed. i love you alot Dolly xxxxx
Hi Matthew, Finally have a photo of you. Glad to see you managed the horse riding. I bet his name was Ned!!I have tried to blog you but must have got something wrong. You know I am no computer geek. I'm sure you are all having the times of your lives. Hope you are being fed well.Take care and we'll see you soon. From The Smiths
Hi James, Big list of messages to pass on so here goes (btw i translated the Spanish and there is nothing rude from Lee !!) "Looks like you are having a great time, enjoy the Galapagos Islands, all the best from Dad, Nan, Paul,Marnie,Harry and Jess."
"Without you we are lacking small finds! Professor Mike needs to find a gladius-can you come back and find it?? Lots of love from Elise,John,Laura,Oliver and Ian (Finds team)
"En Ecuador a las chicas guapas les gustan los ingleses. Disfruta Jaime!!" - from Lee
"Hi James, Greetings from a very hot and dry Silchester! We have lots of Iron Age pits to excavate- we need your expertise! See you next year- have a great experience!" from Amanda
Louise.. Schnookums, sweetie pie, Hunny Bear, cutie wootie, Pumpkin... I'm so sorry! I didn't realise how that sounded :/ I'll make it up to you when you get back I promise :) perhaps I should just stick with charlottes cheesyness instead!? (she came up with those names by the way, honestly) Alternatively I could just keep it all short and sweet: I miss you and can't wait to have you around again, I don't think I would survive if I wasn't working everyday! And it's good to see you having a fantastic time out there, words cannot describe how jealous I am of you all! anyway, see you when you get back. Brad xxxx
Millie. Stray dogs I can cope with, but don't you be bringing one of those giant tortoises. Actually, take back the bit about dogs; Jet likes being an only child;0) Like the new smiley? I think I got that one from Michael. Matilda's back tomorrow and then you in a week or so...better start cranking up the washing machine, it's had a good holiday. Love you and miss you. Mum xx
Hi Tilly We did recognise you inspite of the hat and glasses!! Always in the back row too!! Well Oscar has just gone out for his last day of racing. He is in the top half in the racing results so not bad for his first nationals. We are still mixing with the famous sailors and Oscar now has all their autographs on his life jacket. Eliza and Matilda are enjoying the view!! We all went on the rib last night over to Weymouth for an ice-cream after the racing - it is high season so all the sights are out on the streets! E and M are loving the people watching. Enjoy your next location remember we want to see a few photos so hope that there is still some battery left in MY camera!! Take care Love from M D E O and Matildaxxxxxxxxxxx
Thank you so much for your email. It was lovely to hear from you, even if it was only to request your meal on your return. However, your wish is my command and chick risotto is easy to cook! Joke, yes of course I'll cook lasagne! Hope you're enjoying eating fish on the Galapagos islands. Hugh and Jeremy have just had their last meal before flying out to India tomorrow. Jenny is here helping to organise them! See you soon.
I had a great time in Weymouth watching Oscar & about 489 other Oppie sailors having fun on & off the water. Peter, Eliza & I went for a sail in Swallow on Monday here on the Yealm. On Tuesday we went to QAB to buy the chart you will need for the Greek islands. On the wall in the shop there was a chart of the Galapagos Is. dated 1842. Enjoy the rest of your trip. Love G xxxx
