Terry Cornelius The leech story brought a smile to my face even though I had heard it before. Sounds as if you had an absolutely amazing time and met some fantastic people. Love Mum

Terry Cornelius Great to read what you have been up to can't wait to hear what you have been doing since then. Love Mum

Terry Cornelius Your trip sounds absolutely amazing I must have missed you by about half an hour this morning I was up showering etc and had not switched the computer on. If you get a chance try to skype when I get to school the next hour or so would be okay.Love Mum

Graham Glad to hear the weather is getting better Did Hannah and Beth manage to get up on their boards? Hope you have some good action pictures of their efforts. Very best wishes to you all for the New Year

Terry Cornelius Glad you are having a great time. I looked at pictures of Byron Bay on the internet and it looked amazing. Hope you have a wonderful New Year in Byron. The weather there is probably slightly nicer than we have here where it has been raining non stop for about two weeks. They are probably very busy at Countrywide. Love Mum

Derek Argent Happy Christmas, the travels sound great. Have a good time- cant wait to see all the pictures and hear more about it. Best Wishes Derek and Jan

Terry Cornelius Loved the blog. I thought the views from the bridge were amazing and did you see all the pdlocks where people promise to love each other forever? I am sure it will be cheaper as you move out of Sydney. Hope your hostel is okay as this is the one I was responsible for booking! We have got all the food ready form Christmas and I will make the sacrifice of having a mince pie for you.Love Mum

Terry cornelius Sounds amazing the boat trip sounds really good fun but the bus trip and you in your pyjamas sounds funny. I can imagine it! Where are you off to next?

Terry Cornelius Sounds as if you are having an absolutely brilliant time. Was the food good? Hope the hostel is okay. Did your Australian friends live in Sydney? Missing you love mum

Graham Gardner Please remind Hannah that her Backpack is already full unlike her bank account! Have fun Graham

haward Angkor Wat is amazing and you can spend days there ; we always have a great time there ; although we tend not to associate with backpackers (or the Englsh). We're in Tasmanian right now and having a great time see you soon in KL - looking forward to that Celia and Haward

Terry Cornelius Sounds like fun! I can imagine you DJing to a group of confused Vietnamese people! I like the sound of the play school chairs. Glad you are having fun.

Terry Cornelius Sounds great. I have just read a book all about the Khmer Rouge and the terrible events there, you will have to read it when you get back. Great to keep in touch via the blog. Geography was never your strong point!
