Hi guys

Caro2 here - feeling very very envious of you babes enjoying the kitsch sunshine in Hawaii, now that the Scottish summer has been and gone. Oz sounded great, Fiji sounded not-so-great. 

Actually I can relate to your Fijian experience as a girlie mate and I once went there many moons ago after 4 weeks in NZ. The idea was similar to yours - visions of spending a week 'laxing in the sun amid grandeur and opulence. Ha ha. 

We booked into a crummy backpackers (sounds a bit like yours, in fact could be the same place. The woman on reception thought we were sisters when we gave her our passports and she saw we both had the middle name 'Mary'!). 

Cut a long story short, after two nights we packed up, headed to the airport and waited to get onto an earlier flight to LA, to enjoy Hollywood Boulevard, that famous shopping street where Pretty Woman went, and going to the pictures every night. Far more fun!

Anyway, continue to enjoy your amazing adventures and keep those e-mails coming. I'm delighted to hear there's a male out there who is more obsessed with his bowel movements than Gareth. And what exactly is that poo-walk like Caro? I expect a demonstration when you're home. 

(Just the walk, that is).
