Ha lieve guus-willem,
ReplyDeleteik mis je berichtje hier op de blog van Alpha 1, dat was jij toch.
fijn dat we elkaar even vanmorgen spraken. goed te horen dat je weer in het basiskamp was en nu weer uitkijken naar je volgende fase.
ons middagje muziek zit erop. was erg leuk, zou jij ook leuk gevonden hebben. morgen gaan pappa en ik naar de vergadering van de St. in Zw. en dan hebben we weer even rust. nou ja, rust....
elsemiek is gisteren gebeten door een hond en nu is haar hele vinger blauw. heb nog wel gevraagd of die ingeent was tegen rabies. gelukkig wel. als het langer duurt gaan we wel even naar de dokter. nou, dat is het enige erge nieuws tot nu toe!
dus alles gaat hier gewoon door. Martine hard aan het werk voor komende week. afwachten maar.
ben benieuwd, wanneer je naar je enviromental gaat. heb al op internet gezocht naar dat park. zou je tijgers te zien krijgen? olifanten zijn er ook, die had je al een keer daar gezien. wacht met smart op je brief. dag lieverd veel suc6. kus mamma

ReplyDeleteHi Alex
ReplyDeleteSo fab to hear your dulcet tones today. I am delighted you seem so well and enjoying yourself. I am sure that you will be great on the trek. a few nerves are a good thing, use them positvely and you will be great. Patrick came out with a good saying on Friday which might help you keep going when the trek gets hard. He says that pain is weakness leaving your body, so if it hurts think that you are getting stronger, think about enjoying the views and your friends and not how much your pack weighs and it be easier. I am so proud of you, you will have achieved so much by the time you get home. We are all vibing for
you as always. Everyone sends much love.
your adoring mother.xxx

Hey Amanda,
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you're having a great time. I gather you'll be back at Fieldbase soon and then off to do your Adventure challenge. Got your text message, hope you got mine. Hope the sunburn's passed. Be prepared for the cold weather when you get back. We've had cold spells and then mild and had some snow too! Will send another letter in the next day or so. Can't believe you've been away 7 weeks. Time has just flown by. Miss you lots. Love you.
Mum
Haay lieve Guus-Willem,
ReplyDeleteZal nu wel weer even duren dat we iets van je horen. vandaag ben je op weg naar je park. leuk dat we zo'n uitgebreide brief kregen. zal gauw nog een brief sturen, zal wel de laatste zijn. je beltegoed zal wel op geweest zijn, toen we verbroken werden. is inmiddels opgewaardeerd. dus over drie weken kan ik weer wat van je horen.
hoe ver moet je met de bus voor je in je park bent? zag op de site allemaal enthousiaste verhalen over die phase. tjonge wat zul je veel te vertellen hebben. als je enigszins zin hebt om langer te blijven, schroom niet, maar thuiskomen is ook goed, hoor!!
zal wel kortdag zijn als je terug bent. wij krijgen hier 19 dec. vakantie en willen de 20e waarschijnlijk weg. annalie is druk geweest op het werkweekend van de Spr. pappa is ook geweest en ze hebben enorm veel gedaan. volgende keer ga jij ook?!
nou lieverd, sinds gisteren is er niet zo veel gebeurd hier. houd je een dagboekje bij?
daag, heel veel succes en heel veel liefs, kus, mamma
Hi Richard to early yet to wish you happy 18th Birthday but I know cards are in the post - what a fantastic place and memory for you for this special birthday take care son love Mum & Mark xx
