For Mr Deitz
Hi David
I have resent that email. Don't know what's going on, but you may like to check if it has come through again. Anyway, you will soon be on the plane to Sydney town so I can tell you everything and more in person.
Now let me see, if a woman has an average on 5,000 words a day to speak, and you will have been away for 18 days, then I have 90,000 words to speak once you are home! See, you have so much to look forward to! So you will need to get your body clock back into sync on the plane or you will miss out on all my words (but then, maybe that's a good thing).
Anyway, can't believe you are homeward bound - it's too good to be true! Hope there is yummy plane food for you all and good inflight movies. Aston pointed out tonight on a toy plane where you will be sitting - right up the back! I laughed and agreed he was probably right. Your return is eagerly awaited by your adoring family.
JUST DON'T ANYONE MISS THAT PLANE!!
Love Lynlea

Last morning.
Hi to all,
Just off to breakfast and then we have our last day of touring London. We are going to London Bridge and then onto the Tower of London. We are all packed and ready to go so will come back to the YHA at about 4pm and catch a train to Heathrow. We have to be at the airport 4 hours before we leave at about 10.
The trip has been fantastic. The students have been wonderful and they believe that it has been life changing and one of the most momentous times in their lives. A trip they will never forget and will draw upon as they go through life. There have been some awesome memories but the main highlights for the trip have been:- Anzac Day at Villers Bretonneux, being billeted with families, Pompeii, Jock in Tuscany making and cooking pasta, Musee d'Orsay and the Louvre in Paris, plus the many sites that we read about and see in the media.
A huge thank you must go to EVERYONE who have assisted and supported us throughout our journey.

Hi Jo,
Have been following the blog and sounds like you are all having a fantastic time. Very jealous! My holidays were very quiet - played a bit of golf, cooked lots of food and chased around after Emma. The worst part was being beaten by Rob by 2 strokes on the golf course.
We are still waiting for the birth of this child who seems to be very happy in mum's tum and is in no hurry to come out.
Will let you know of any developments.
Enjoy the remainder of your trip.

Last night in London
Hi all,
Day 2 in London and lots more adventures to tell about. The day started with breakfast in the Hostel at about 7.30am. we left the hostel at 8.30 and set off for Saint Paul's Cathedral. After walking around the Cathedral and down into the crypt, everyone walked up into and around the dome. Leaving the Cathedral, we crossed the Millennium bridge to Shakespeare's Globe Theatre. We looked around the gallery and took a guided tour around. It was interesting to learn that 3000 people who chewed on garlic, only bathed at Christmas and Easter and used the area as a urinal would willingly squeeze into the Globe to see a play. Next was the Tate Modern, full of abstract and interesting art we also got to see some famous works, like Andy Warhol. Lunch was on the go but next was a big red bus tour. Our guide was a great comedian, but we also learnt about stuff like the height of Big Ben is the same as the circumference of Stone Henge. Erin also managed to get hit in the head by flying debris as we passed under a bridge, very humorous (not) - no damage sustained by Erin. A quick stop at the hostel and we were out to dinner at a great traditional English pub. The decor was great and Erin and I sat in massive carved chairs. On the menu were things like Bangers and Mash, Fish and Chips and Shepard's pie. Off to bed now as tomorrow will be our last day in London :( all of us cannot wait to be home though, missing our families and our own beds.
See you soon,
Kristy
