Monday 27th September

Met Ian and Andy at 9.00 to change the front wheel bearing which they discovered needed changing yesterday. Yikes! All the mechanics were banned from working on cars so we had to do it very quietly out the back and not tell.

We then meandered off for lunch with Toby. Found a very strange little restaurant where we had to mime what we wanted and sat chatting for so long that it was nearly dinner when we got back. Went out for a drink and chips with Alex. Then back to hotel to blog, which won’t work! Try again in Shymkent…

    Not very good at blogging, where did my last message go to??
    So glad all is going well, what an adventure you are having - life at home will never be the same again - hope David is impressed with all the mechanicing?!! I am sure Daddy is!!
    Just makes me realise I must move out of my comfort zone of Cornwall and get travelling again!!
    Keep up the good work and mind those potholes!!
    Love Amanda x

    Life in Westmill now looking rather dull. Hope all continuing well and car is behaving. Reading through your blog has sent us to the attic in search of rucksack. Keep safe and well.
    Lots of love from the Beazleys xx

    Dear Suzy and Rachel
    My comments don't seem to be getting through for some reason, so here goes again.
    It sounds as though you are having quite a ball, although pretty exhausting, I imagine.
    Keep it up and I want to see you both in the top half dozen by the time you reach Paris!!
    Love Daddy

    Hi Rachel & Suzy

    Love reading your blogs and seeing the photos - very entertaining! Have had quite a few chuckles from the comfort of my armchair in Vietnam. Sounds like you're having a wonderful time - very proud of you! Go girls!

    Dearest Rachel

    I am in awe of both of you, how amazing you are and how dull the school run is in comparison. KEEP GOING....not long to now.
    lots of love Kate
