Here’s a link to a slide show that Hannah put together showing the venturers' first few days in India.
Looking back it at it we can't believe that they’ve been here for just five days!
Hope you enjoy it and we’ll be back soon with lots of updates and pictures.

ReplyDeleteHi Robyn saw your 'delicious meal' on the slide show! Well done to you all for coming second. Looks like your having a great time, certainly rain a lot, I thought the monsoon season was over. I see you have maintained standards with your nail vanish, not sure how long you will be able to keep that up! Don't forget to wear your hat/scarf in the sun and use your mossie lotion.
Sorry! I'm just being a fussing grandma. Mum Martin and Charlie got off to Turkey and arrived safely. Will write again soon. Love ya loads!Grandma and Bobxxxxx

ReplyDeleteYou look to be having fun. We bet the rain in India is not as cold as the rain that we are having.
The actress in you is coming to the fore, you seem to be in a lot of the pictures! Which is great, because we can see what you are up to.
Great taste of the adventure, so far, looking forward to the next slid show, Geoff and Janet

ReplyDeletehi meem!
hope you are having a great time in india! I am currently suffering the fruits of a ridiculous hangover, borderline of course. little chris insisted that I'd say hi to you from him. he even played a bit of friendly fires for you last night. and I even did your mr. brightside move when it was being played. you would have been proud! hope everything is okay there and you are enjoying your time! I've lost my glasses! Joyxx
Fantastic to get all this information! We look forward to the next pictures and updates on all the activities.

Hi Stewart, well there you go who would have thought that having sat and watched Shona going through all the same sort of things I would now be sitting watching you. I hope you are enjoying the start of the adventure and that you will have a wonderful time. Shona is now in Tamil and her pictures are wonderful I am sure you will catch up once you find an internet cafe. Take care, thinking of you. Fiona

Hi Anna, I know you'll not see this message till you get back from your community project, but just had to tell you. Your dad and I have booked a cruise on the Queen Victoria from 28 Jan to 25 Feb. We're flying to Fort Lauderdale calling at Aruba, doing a full transit of the Panama Canal and then calling at Costa Rica, Guatamala and three seperate places in Mexico. We then fly back from Los Angeles. I'm really excited. Bet that surprised you, we made our minds up and booked it in less than 24 hours!!! Mind you, as your dad was giving Cunard his credit card details he did look a very funny colour! Well, thats number 1 on the bucket list ticked off. Hope you've had a fantastic time on your first project, have sent one letter and the second will be posted very soon. Love you - Mum & Dad xxxx

ReplyDeleteHi dikkie! Wat ziet het er spannend uit, vind je outfit ook prachtig :) Hoop dat het beter gaat met je teen... Wat cool dat je bio units gaat bouwen, eigen bamboo hut opzetten en lekker pap eten?? Haha, vind het knap dat je dit allemaal durft en geniet ervan! Je zal er vast op terugkijken als iets heel bijzonders zo in India! Kan niet wachten tot Auzzie en heb al wat leuke hongkong armbandjes en tasjes voor je. Hier gaat het goed, ben met werk naar hele grote beurzen geweest met allemaal soorten gadgets echt heel interessant. Een hele dikke kus uit HK, X x x Q

ReplyDeleteHi Robyn
Can't believe you are climbing a peak twice as high as Ben Nevis, you won't have any problem walking round to see me after that, no more lifts home for you!! Just joking! Great phot of you trekking through the jungle, I have shown it to everyone at the library! We are very proud of you. What happened to your knees, by the way? Still not wearing your hat I see, or that nice pink scarf thing I bought you(nagging again). Are you enjoying the food, imagine its a bit like army rations, you have to use your imagination to create something interesting. Have you managed to get a suntan (ha!ha!) thought the rainy season had finishee, hope it is over by the time we go out next week. Looking forward to reading what you will be doing next, it is fantastic being able to keep up to date, many thanks to all at Operation Raleigh for making it possible. What a fantastic bunch of young people you all are. Love you loads and loads Grandma and Bobxxxxxxxx

Hi lieve vallie. Lees de blogs en bekijk de foto's waardoor je toch een beetje een idee krijgt hoe het jullie vergaat. hoop dat het je goed gaat en dat je mooie dingen meemaakt.Verheug me op de verhalen. Hoop dat je thuis ook een kopje chai indian style voor ons gaat maken.Ben deze week veel op kantoor en het is wel een beetje saai thuis zonder je. Heb trouwens wel de klomplaarsjes die we zagen gekocht en ben ze naar jou voorbeeld meteen gaan dragen. Heb ook post aan je gestuurd hoop dat het er is als je weer in basecamp komt. Ly dikke kus,
P
