Who Reads This Blog?

We have had some hilarious comments recently, and in the past have been stoked to see that we have some readers who we dont know. Its nice to know its not only our parents that read the blog.
I`m not sure whether you all know, but our trip temporarily comes to a halt for a while on Saturday when we come home. The blog will end.
We have had nearly 10,000 hits over the last year and are curious to know who reads the blog.
So whether you have read it once in a while, weekly, or daily can everybody leave a comment. You can still use anonymous, just give us a holler to say "hi I read it".
No bitching this time eh!

Chris & Sam

P.S Does Gloria Hunniford live in Slough? Yogi Bear lives in Yellow stone park. We have been laughing all day long at your comments on the last entry. Peace out guys!

I read it every week. I need to keep up to date, so when I'm sitting in St Anton with the Maidenhead crowd, I can mention your trip and then we can all fall silent, stare into our drinks and think about the last year of our lives.

My mate Michael also reads this as research into his trip to Bolivia. He left today, full of your wisdom.

I don't know what I'm going to do when it comes to an end, where am I going to get my regular doses of admiration and jealousy now?

It almost feels like we've been travelling with you. Great blog, you have a knack for travel writing despite the spelling :-) You should continue to keep a blog.

What do you mean 'temporarily' comes to an end!?!
Are you planning to emigrate?

We read the blog even though we don't know you. Jon told us about your trip/blog and been hooked ever since. We will all miss our fix of escapism as we carry on with our normal existence. Brilliant!

From beginning to end, I can't believe you guys are back in a couple of days. Now that Simon has already made it to SA, how am I supposed to cope with office work?

I read it! - it's always a treat when I get into work and see you've left more messages, it means I can delay starting work for another 15 mins while I read the next entertaining installment.

I can't believe it's been a year already and I'm sure you can't! Great Blog!

Can't believe its all over, perhaps you would like to come on my show 'Sunday Sunday' to chat about your trip?

Ture escapism from Nortel - can't knock it. Btw, did anyone mention it's raining in Maidenhead. And cold. And there's frost on the cars in the morning. Sure you wanna come back??? Seriously thanks for sharing your trip with us! Safe journey back.

I'm really impressed how you've kept this blog up-to-date, can't wait to see you guys again!

The blog forms an integral part of my daily routine. I think a good 5,000 of those hits are me. I log on and see if there are any entries and if there are, I will not read anything until I have made a cup of tea and can enjoy in peace and quiet.(I've just read that back...career change required) There will be a huge void in my life when it stops. Have you seen the Truman Show? It's been quality keeping up with you. I'm trying to work out if I'm more excited about seeing you guys or finding out what happens if you follow the bottles.

Safe trip home.

Hi there Anonymous here
I read it everyday and have withdrawl symptoms over the weekend, your blog is addictive.
The fact that the whole of Nortel reads your blog explains alot about their current situation. I have never met you but through your blog feel like I have known you for years.
All the very best wishes for the future!!!

Blimey I have got a serious problem. All my staff have major motivation problems and the only thing that seems to keep them going is obviously reading your blog. Can I suggest that upon your return I can invite you both along to do a motivational workshop to raise morale and promote well being etc. Unfortunately I cannot offer you any renumeration but can pay you in some old knackered laptops that need repairing.

I've read it all and thoroughly enjoyed it! You've missed your vocation guys, sign up for Holiday 2007 now! At least you should publish your diary for all those potential backpackers. Looking forward to seeing you again.

Just one nit-pick. My man Yogi Bear lives in Jellystone Park, not Yellowstone, I think.....

So cool to read all those comments guys. Its our last night travelling, we are in a bar in San Francisco after having ridden another tandem over the Golden Gate Bridge.
We will be writing a final blog entry soon, so check back in. We have some statistics on our trip for you. Its wicked to know all these people read our blog, so if you havent commented yet, please leave a note.
Thank you so much for making our days when we check the blog.

We do, well mainly at the end of our trip! Good grief you guys got up to a lot of cool things.... amazing trip. Although we are happy to be back in SA we are seriously bleak that we won't be there to welcome you back to the UK. I guess we'll save it for Cape Town (date to be confirmed). Love Jules and Si

ps. Reality sucks!
