Well it sounds as though you're both thoroughly enjoying yourselves still. It's great to read of your adventures!! It's amazing how our lives are so comepletly oppostie in every way at the moment! I say this while up to my eyeballs in dirty nappies!!
Met up with Kirsten yesterday and we worked out that you must have been in Sydney at the same time recently. She seems to be popping over there on business quite regularly and her boyfriend (the same one from 4 years ago at our wedding) is living out there for a while with his firm. Anyway, a bit of a coincidence!
Take care both of you and see you soon (not long now!)
Love Jackie

Hey! Thanks for postcard! Koh Pee Pee looks a lovely place for several days rest...We are enjoying the English summer indeed - 31 degrees today. Not bad. Tho think there's gonna be a thunderstorm tomorrow...All well here. Went to see Chili Peppers Sun. Immense. Never been hit by so many bottles before in my life! (plastic!) And was drenched in beer! All good fun. Looking forward to our roadtrip in Florida in August! A couple of my friends are off travelling. Some of their photos are similar to yours! Def the Uluru ones. Im working at The George Hotel in Stamford, on reception. Enjoying it. Lovely in the summer with marquee weddings. See you soon...Lucy, Joe, Jake, Amy, Michael and Marian.xxx

Catch up time with your blog i'm afraid - i think this is the longest time i have gone without reading it - utterly ashamed that i have not made the time but better late than never i suppose! Summer Term scaring me as flying by but mountain of things happening and to do - Joseph production for a start - bet you are not missing that Hannah!!! Anyway back to you - Australia sounds really great and so glad that you have made so many friends - bet that has made your trip so much more personal. Campervan looks great but not too keen on the weather you are describing - for once it might have been better here!!! Although not sunny enough for me not to use fake tan and get a truly horrible allergic reaction - trust me!!!! Cannot believe there is only 2 months until you are on home ground again - you have done an unbeilevable amount of things though and i REALLY look forward to catching up with you both. Anyway must go now as having Literacy books monitored tomorrow and various other things to do!!! Take Care both of you and will e-mail soon to catch up properly!
Lots of Love from

Hi James and Hannah,
Never done this blogging before so hope it works.
I enjoyed reading about your Australian adventures, but not half as much as I enjoyed having you to stay last week!
Glad you have arrived safely in Singapore, Deb said you had to change your hostel as it was too noisy! Singapore is quite a gentle introduction to Asis...I'm sure you are going to have a wonderful last 2 months of your trip.
I won't type more now as i'm not sure if this will work, but I will keep in touch,
Love Judy
PS Hope my mums driving didn't scare you too much.

Hi Miss King, finished Sats and they were super horrible.
Did you get some new glasses?
We are doing Joseph for our production - 5 weeks to go and we haven't practised all the songs yet!
Wish we were there, cold and rainy here.

Hello to you both good to see all the fantastic pictures and share your journey with you. It must have been bliss in the camper van just going where you want when ever the mood takes you. How envious we all are of you.
Everyone in good old England is well. Jane and Allan were considering going off to live in Canada for 3 years but not good enough deal. Dime bar to be a dad again!!!!!!!!!!
I suppose you have already heard of the date for Stacey's wedding! Who would believe it!
Keep safe, looking forward to hearing about Aus. If you want accommodation in Sydney Sue and Graham(our best friends) would love to see you -phone number is 0061243338473

Hi Hannah and James!!

Don't know if you still remember us, but we stayed in the same hostel (same room) in Mexico.
We've been travelling through Oz and met up with Kristen, it's a shame we missed each other, would have been fun to have a Mexico reunion in Oz.
Hope your travels continue to be fun and a great experience.

ANyway look forward to hearing about Oz. Take care both of you lots of love from Amy xxxx

Hope your flight to new zealand was ok. Dad said he got a letter from John and it said that you had already visited him, so obviously you arrived safely. Can't wait to see picture of infamous camper van. We all wish you well. William says he would like you to come back so that you can push him round on his car - an uncles job i think! Hopefully get an update from you soon.

love Sarah, Adrian and William xxx

Great photos Hannah and James - especially all the ones of the horses - i never thought i would see the day where you were both on horses - happily anyway - i remember all the moans about horses on the Market Bosworth Roads Hannah - mind you - does not compare with the Andes!!!! Thought horses was exciting enough but when i heard about your cable car experience i really felt for you both - i would have needed more than wine to get me over that!!!! Kinsgwood is a bad enough prospect!!!! Anyway, really look forward to hearing about New Zealand and your camper van experiences!!!! VERY VERY envious at the moment - SATs and Literacy really stressing me out but hoping to book my holiday soon! (Not as adventerous as yours so keep me updated!). Take Care both of you and no more cable car experiences please - will be awake worrying about you two now - stay safe!!!!!! Lots of Love from Amy xxxx

Getting ready for sats and trip to Kingswood just don't compare! By now you must be in New Zealand - a familiar culture, hearing English all day,similar food to home - will be very boring. Well that's what I'm telling myself to soothe my envy. I do feel though that S.America will be hard to beat. Hear from you soon.

Anyway cannot wait for next installment and look forward to hearing about more wine tasting!!! (and dancing - yet alone horse riding - goodness me - never thought i would see the day Hannah!!!).

Helllloooo! Emma and Cath here emailing from Cardiff! Emma and Matt are up to visit - we've done lots of activities like rock climbing (indoors!!) and badminton - fun but nothing like your adventures!! Most impressed by the hike up to Macchu Pichu and the santa hats. We are glad to see that your trip is looking to be as exciting as you hoped. We're very jealous although cath and rudi are counting down 5 weeks til there japan trip! Emma and Matt are going to Polperro for the summer so they are excited too!!!! (or a bit jealous might be a better description!!) Well take care and make the most of your travelling days. loads of love cath, emma, matt and rudi xxxxxxx

Glaciers amazing, just my kind of clinate. Love the hat, Hannah. They are very in fashion here - you could lead the trend! Half term almost over. Amy has come down with influ B. which has been through the school and many others in the region. We had 90 off one day! She will not be back next week as she has not eaten for 4 days and her doctor was disturbed because she could see her ribs! Maybe I should catch this flu!
There seems to be a lot of alcohol consumption on this trip! I think I am envious.
My travels took me to North Yorkshire for 2 days and a walk along the sea wall at Scarborough! Photos slightly flat after yours! Lemon plant has one leaf left - still struggling on!
Love Jean

Hi Hannah & Jame

Just been catching up on your diary. It makes for a very interesting read. The photos are fantastic and I look forward to seeing them all on your return

I take it you are not bored yet and want to come home!!!!!!!

Take Care of yourselves, have lots of fun.

Photographs are wonderful. Sorry you had to experience the hospital system, but it's sorted out, whatever the allergy was. It's scary enough going to AE in this country, must have been 10times worse there. You'll have to become professional travellers, take over from Michael Palin, and work for the BBC!
Still very cold here but no snow forecast. Yesterday the tag rugby team played at the Tiger's ground - we were beaten by 1 point by Congerstone! (They were the better team) Still we came 2nd and go through to the finals in June. Two more weeks to half term which means we have 9 weeks to get ready for Sats! I think we should write off this year - but I don't think Ofsted would agree.
Linda Cox now has 4 grandchildren and Steph will be a gran in July. Your lemon plant is very ill, but I'm persevering.
Enjoy the next stage of your journey.
Love to you both, Jean

Well it all looks fabulously exciting - excellent photos. A belated HAPPY BIRTHDAY to James.

Yet more fantastic photos you two - you really are excelling - can't wait for you to publish your travellers guide book!!! Really sorry to hear about your hospital visit Hannah but extremely glad it is sorted and I hope those mosquito bites are improving - naughty mites!!!Brazil sounds amazing and you seem to have been on a tremendous amount of adventures. The views also look fabulous - you really do have an excellent set of photos so far - can't wait for the next installment (no more reports of hospital visits though please - my nerves could not cope!!!). Hope the weather is good for you - freezing here and as you would expect even colder at school!!! (sickness bug time of year - so feeling even more envious!. Anyway LOOK AFTER YOURSELVES! Loads of love and wishes of more enjoyable adventures from Amy xxxx

Might have guessed you'd run out of room! But, surprise, surprise it wasn't because of length of text! We're really into that now - text that is. Had the Literacy consultant in for talks and staff meetings and actually it has been very helpful. You should see what I'm doing on my board now!
Glad to hear you're still having a great time. I will have to start saving and plan for retirement.
Amy has got a car like mine! I told her she had to think of her image - it's not exactly racy. But I am becoming more sparkly - bought a lot of bling in the sales!
Must go and finish marking my English. Such dedication.
Enjoy the next stage of your journey.
Love Jean
