Hey looks like alot of amazing experiences continueing! Saw Bear Grilles survive in the Kalahari dessert not long ago by climbing inside a dead camel to escape the suns dehydration for awhile! Great to get your email. Just touching base cause wanted to say hi. The Lewi Smiths are here right now so gona go stoke the fire. Winters not so severe right now, have had a chance to bathe in the sun a few times! Which city you flying into India again? After the wide open plains it'l be so diff, may be able to help if you have any q's. I recommend the hill stations if you need a breather and the flower layes. xox
Response: Hey there, yeah that guy's pretty hard core! Just arrived in Delhi and loving the madness of it all. Probably the most intense thing is the heat, 35 degrees plus 24/7. Off to Shimla tomorrow so looking forward to some cool mountain air.

I was smooched by Pania's puppy Karly this morning, it was warm fuzzy material but cuddling up with lion cubs looks awesome! Very cute cub falling asleep on your leg and the unexpected drop in Chamelion looks beautiful. Did it try changing colour to match you hehe. Its sunday and went to see Granny P who is really well and happy and looks great with her perm. Been doing the limbo and chilling with friends, the usual weekend thing. Also started salsa dancing out in kingsland, it's great and a breath of fresh air having worked all day. Looks like you'v had a good dose of kid action too. Champa's is running well and just added a new tyre to replace one thats worn all it's tread. Been thinking of you guys. Kiss a lion cub for me!
Response: Nice, go the salsa, we'll have to all go out to the salsa club in town when we get back. Good to hear Pat is on form and Champers is purring like a kitten still.

From Nigel
hi Bobbie and Phil
Ella gave me this site after I asked how your trip was going. What an amazing trip you're having-a few edgy days/moments in between some classic culture/scenery/surf. Taghazout and the mountain trek sound so cool. Ella sounded stoked to be out of London winter for a bit too. I hope you get those points sorted-what a great setup. Mind you at 12 ft I think I'd have the banana boat parked down the line a bit! Give our love to Ella and say we saw the very cool Moroccan photos. Enjoy the rest of your trip. We're all envious as summer says sayonara here and work hits the full on stage. So enjoy, enjoy. Cheers Nigel and Margot
Response: Cheers Nige, Ellas leaving us in the next couple of days but its been swell having her around...
From Phil B
Hey guys, good to catch up on your travels, but thinking you must be somewhere in Europe about now. Philly thats hard core about your stingray - holy shit!! must be a mean story though haha. Matt, matt and I have been at Iron Maiden tonight, and matt S and I went front row. It was extremely hard core. Anyways...hope you are both well and LTDing it (living the dream). Look forward to hearing about your crazy african adventures. Much love from NZ, philele (aka phillus aka phil)
Response: Shot philele....bogans rule, just about to start on the blog so should be up in a couple of days. You must be off to Oz soon?
From Bec

From Kate
Great to see what you have been up to, your blog is cool. We are loving Bolivia, been doing loads of downhill mountain biking, and riding inca trails etc.. The surfing looks wicked...definitely want to do some in Peru and Ecuador - any suggestions on the nice tame breaks?
Keep charging you two. What date do you fly to Morocco? KK
Response: Heaps of goodies for learners in Ecuador, Peru is way more gnarly. Loving reading about ur adventures too.

From Andrew Ho
Hey guys, happy new year! Your trip sounds awesome. Enjoying reading your updates. It brings back some good memories. Laura and I are back in NZ after a trip to europe that wasn't what you'd call relaxing but certainly a lot of fun. We're now back to work and suitably jealous of your fancy free lifestyles. Make the most of it.
ciao
Andrew
