Made it to Mexico! 27/09/08

Hi Everyone,

Boy does time fly! We have just arrived in Mexico City!! The planning didn't leave much free time but we are still just going with the flow!

With not too much set in concrete until February we are ad-libbing our way through Central America (along with those infamous hurricanes)!

Back to our fleeting visit to the UK. We were met at Heathrow by Robyn and Ken with a welcome sign as well!! Then it was off to Sutton to enjoy the company of Audrey and Eric (unfortunately the time here was way too short. The next year off will definitely allow for more catch up time!!). Thanks to all of those that turned up at our catch-up drinks in London it was wonderful to see you all (and some great surprises!!).

Italy has been great. We have had a wonderful ten days there. It has been nice to enjoy the luxuries of being in one place for a period of time (and some of Vic's dads cooking of
course!). The first week was spent in Lake Como and we had visits from Marcus's brother Peter and our friend Martin. The time was spent enjoying the lake and its villages. We even managed a day trip into Switzerland (albeit only briefly). The last few days were spent on the coast in the Cinque Terre region and we were joined by Marcus's mum Irene. We took walks along the coast between all five villages enjoying plenty of coffees on route!! We headed north from where we were staying at Deiva Marina to Portofino and witnessed how the other half live, some of the super yachts are just incredible.

Our photos have been uploaded (they are a lot more excessive this time but many people shots!!). Movies of our time in Africa can also be found on our website under the sub-album 'Movies'. Enjoy!! http://www.travel.rameke.com/

We hope all is well with everyone and look forward to hearing from you soon.

Take care
Love Victoria and Marcus
