Christmas Day

Swimming in Loch Ness!!!

"Ruthie had been hinting all day yesterday about swimming nude in Loch Ness
We arrived and the Loch was choppy and black and not at all inviting!!!
We were all ready and standing ready to go
and Ruthie who was next to me did a countdown and we all ran in
Ruthie did a big dive in so I did the same
Cold is not the right word to use to describe the water!!
My feet were killing me and I was shaking!!"

......and Tanya on her way out

(two photos)

Comments on the photos!!!

From "GH - Australia" on Thursday 1st September 2005

Hello Tanya
My name is Gabi
I discovered your site several months ago while searching for some travel sites
I live in Brisbane and am looking to travel next year
I have been following your progress across Europe and reading your posts with interest
I only recently saw your pictures from Scotland from Christmas 2004 and I am doing as the pictures suggested and e-mailing you to get a copy of your pictures from Lock Ness which you censored
I would love to see the pictures
They looked like you were having a ball
Hope you enjoy the rest of your trip
Yours hopefully

......and another from "GH" on Friday 2nd September 2005

Hi Tanya
It is really cool that you replied
Hope you had a great time in the Greek Islands
That is one place I have on my list
At the moment I am planning Southern Europe and North Africa on my way to London, then work for several months and then see the remainder of Europe and some of Asia on my way home (finances permitting)
I am a little bit nervous about travelling as single female in Egypt, Turkey and Morocco but I'm sure there will be no problems as part of a tour
I'm with you about going topless on Eurpean beaches
I'm happy to take my top off when I go to Noosa or the Gold Coast but there is no way I could walk to a shop for ice-cream
I even put my top back on to swim - lol!!!
I haven't had a good look around your family's site - is it interesting?
Hope you enjoy Rome and I look forward to your posts about it
PS - you will have to send on your Loch Ness pictures when you get home to London

From "NO" on Monday 24th October 2005

Hi Tanya
Hope you got my first e-mail
Love your site
You must be sad now that it is all over
I am still looking forward to seeing your pictures from Loch Ness as your sites says will happen if you e-mail
Perhaps in time you will become confident enough to take down the green boxes on the site as well, especially after your experiences in Spain and Greece!!

From "HR - Australia" on Saturday 10th December 2005

Hi
I am off to the UK in two weeks and have been looking at some travel sites when I came across yours
I was very impressed with the set up and the quality of the photos that you have
It looks like you have visited some amazing places
My plans at the moment are four days in London, a week in Scotland, two weeks across Spain and a week in Italy
I have read your Spain and Italy sections and have gotten a few ideas
I will have a look at your Scotland section at another time
Thanks for making such an interesting site

......and another from "HR" on Tuesday 17th January 2006

Hi and I have just arrived back in Oz after my trip away
Had a fantastic time and ended up with loads of photos
I burnt down three CD's worth while I was away and have another couple of memory sticks to download
I am looking at putting together an 'MSN' site although this doesn't give you opportunity to add comments
So I might looking for a cheap website hosting site as I have Dreamweaver available at home
I am very impressed with your site and they way it all links
My only disappointment was when I e-mailed Tanya for an uncensored copy of the Loch Ness photo, she wouldn't send it
Still it is a small complaint given the excellent nature of the site
Keep up the good work

From "J - Poland" on Monday 2nd January 2006

Czesc!! - it means 'hi'!!
Hi
First of all I'm sorry for my english - I still learn this language
I'am from Poland (previous Pope was from my country) and visit your website by mistake but it interest me and I saw almost all
Your site is very pleasent but sometimes I can't saw films - because I use Opera browser but not Internet Explorer
When I saw source of site then I paste to address name of video file and save it on my hard disc
More mistakes I don't note
One advice - you should give e-mails all members of your familly (but not only one - only this one I saw) in order to I can ask Tanya about picterus from Loch Ness lake - for example
One question - why one page (http://ronebergcairnscontinued.com/pages01/xtholiday02772.html) is protected by password?
Can I visit this page?
Thanks for possibility saw yours pictures

From "JMB - France" on Saturday 4th February 2006

Bonjour
My name is JM
I am French
I come across your site web while looking at Scotland for holiday
Think site is very good
Would very much like to see your pictures from Loch Ness
Think you are very beautiful Australian girl
I look forward to seeing your pictures
I visit Scotland in May
Salut

From "JH" on Monday 17th April 2006

Hi
I am very impressed with your web site as a living family history
It is very well set up
I looked through your pages before looking at Tanya's holdiay site which was equally informative
As the site said, I e-mailed Tanya for a copy of her censored photo from Loch Ness
It looked as though she was having a wonderful day and I would love to see the picture but I don't think the e-mail address is still current
Thanks in advance

......and here is the note from "JH" to Tanya

Hi Tanya
I stumbled across your parent's site a while ago and was very impressed
Only recently got around to looking through your travel section and was blown away
It is very professionally set up and well organised
It certainly gives me an outline if I ever got around to travelling
I would love to see an uncovered version of you in Loch Ness so as it says on the site, here is my e-mail!!
It looks as though you are having a ball there
Thanks

From "S" on Saturday 20th May 2006

Wonderful site!!
Hi Tanya
My name is S
I am currently planning my European adventures and have spent some time going through your site
At the moment I am visiting Greece, Italy, the UK and France and I am unsure whether to pay extra and also visit Turkey
It is a tough decision as it looks lovely in your photos but I'm not sure with the cost and safety
I am looking forward to seeing relatives in Scotland before catching some sun in Greece
I am not sure that I am as brave as you in that I don't think I could go topless on a beach let alone swim without my top
You are definately braver and more relaxed than me and I admire that
Do you think you will travel again soon?
I would love to see the original version of your Loch Ness (or should that be Loch Less) pictures that the site mentions
Thanks for providing some travel inspiration

From "J" on Wednesday 26th July 2006

Hello Tanya
Have been a long time fan of your web site and travelled vicariously through you
And I am jealous of some of the places you got to visit
Your family's site is one of the most entertaining I have visited
I love the idea of keeping a running account of what is happening in your life but with a visual base as oppossed to a 'blog' site
My only complaint is that you haven't kept up your entries much after your return from Europe
Finally, your web site says to contact you to see the full picture,
so I would love to see the uncovered version of you coming out of Loch Ness
That picture looks like you were having a blast
Thanks

From "AP" on Saturday 30th September 2006

Hi Tanya
Loved cruising around your site
It has given me a few ideas as I begin to plan my own working holday next year
I am planning on going to India for a month as that is where my parents are from before going to England for a few months
I am about to qualify as a teacher so it should be easy for me to get some work
Once I am there I plan to use the hols to hit the continent as see as much as I can
Hopefully I'll meet some cool people as I am not keen on travelling to much on my own as a single girl
Well once again loved your site
Would love to see to see the uncensored shots from Loch Ness that your site tells people to email you for
It looks like you were having a blast!!
Regards
