ken and judi your weekly blogs have enthralled us. we admire your stamina and philisophical reaction to adversity whether bad weather, missed trains or being ripped off. will you have time for angkor watt before you get to bangkok? the weather here is cold and wet. very best wishes for a great christmas in Oz. and a safe journey home. look forward to hearing how you have managed not to have major arguments along the way. when is the book being published?

Phil & Vera We are enjoying reading your news. If it's not too early Happy Christmas and safe travels. Love from Vera & Phil

Judith Found the stuff on Mongolia really fascinating and I still want to visit, epecially like the cute camel. I expect you are seeing UB at the right time before modernisation takes away it's individuality. I am fascinated to know the sanitary arrangements in the gers, as the surrounding landscape looks fairly flat! Love Judith

Simon Geoff - You missed a great England footy performance beating Croatia 4 -1. thanks to ex-Saint Walcottgot with 3 goals - and even Gareth Barry was OK.

Simon & Judith Thanks for email - we are in Mae Hong Son, top left hand corner of Thailand - but where you are looks definitely cooler and more refined! Have a great trip. Love Simon and Judith

Fiona F Thanks for adding me to your blog list and yes please to being told of the updates! Do you find you feel like you've been at sea when you get of the train? We went to Barcelona by train and it took us about 6 hours to walk straight! Geoff, can you appear in some of the pictures please?
