Janet Akers Well done Emily and Sean, a fantastic way to share your trip. The photos are lovely and the blogs fantastic. I'm very proud of you both and really looking forward to seeing you on friday. love xxx

Em Akers Thats it guys, had a fantastic trip, last blog up...and we´re coming home!

Janet Akers Liked the photos in ,I assume, Kass's bar. Sean seemed to have a beer glass permanently in his hand and you all looked wasted but very happy........... xx

Em Akers I know, sorry about lack of photos - but the connection is so bad here ic an't get any up...im trying i promise!! xx

Janet Akers Where are your latest photos??? I'm loving the blogs but need to see the wonderful sights you are describing so well. love xxx

janet Akers Loved the Bolivian blog and photos. However, really pleased I wasn't with you on this trip. The only bit that suits me is the drinks in a deckchair and a meal in a French restaurant!!! Well done, you have once again captured the essence of places with your reports.love xxxxx

Emily Akers It was those toilets! I took photos too...we are scarily alike mum!

janet akers Loved the N.Z blogs, you captured the feel of the country so well. If the quirky toilet was near the Bay of Islands and built by a German/ Austrian I've seen it. It was in my guide book too and I made Dad stop fro me to take a picture!!! xxx

Janet Akers Loved your last blog, felt I was walking and swimming with you ! However glad I wasn't ,not sure about all the wild life! Take care and have fun in New Zealand. xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Nadia Bonjour Miss EMilykins!!! >>>>>>>HAPPY BIRTHDAY GIRL!!!! Hope you have a wicked time, in your far far away land. I imagine you'll celebrate with some foreign-unusual-named beer and perhaps strange fried insects in some succulent coco milk. Hahaa.... Am being silly - as per usual. Thinking of you ma lovely!Gros bisous!! xoxo --N

Janet Akers The Vietnam blog and photos excellent, love the scenery and colours of clothes. Make sure you model your outfits and send us photos. Hope you are feeling better, the food sounds great but please be careful what you eat and drink!!! Love xxxx

Nikki O' Connor what a muppet!! the hotel in Hanoi is called Anh Vinh II. XXX

Nikki O' Connor Hey Guys Im very glad you had no dramas like us when tubing!! It is sooo crazy. Make sure you get tubing t shirts before leavin Laos too. The slow boat is awesome isnt it? Hope you managed to get the back of the boat as those benches are hard core!!! Keep the updates coming. Me and Brian are back on koh Puhi phi for 5 days and then heading to KL so its a shame we couldnt meet up. Crossed into the Thai border at the most dangerous border without realising yesterday but no problems!! Kinda started to worry when the soldiers in the bunkers had guns sticking out with granade launchers on them!!!! I do not envy that bus journey it has scared me for life!! Just prepare yourselves annd have spare dollars as the border staff are corrupt and will may have to bribe them like we did. After 3 hrs you will have to sleep on the bus at the border or some people we have met were dropped at a guesthouse!!! I am sure it will be fine though and after this any journey will be a breeze!!! he he. Hanoi is a cool place and the guesthouses near the lake make for a great location. The guesthouses all seem to be a bit pricy and this one was average around 15 pounds a night but flat tv screens and the full works!! Have fun take care xxxx

Janet Akers The Photos are fabulous, especially the Elephant ones. I see the foot fetish is continuing!! Loved the cooking course photos too, but why was Sean setting fire to the kitchen??? Love xxx

Carole Joyce Loved the elephant photos , the waterfall looked great. Keep safe. Love Carole
