Hi everyone! sorry its been so long...couldnt find an internet place... so, we're in New York and having the best time. We're staying in the Upper East side with Claire's lovely aunt Carmel who is being so generous...she organised for Soph and I to go up the Empire State Building for free-bypassing all the queues...such amazing views! Then last night she arranged for us to have dinner in the funniest diner on Broadway where the waiting staff are all out...

Hi everyone! Yep thats right we're back on the best island in the world! so nice to be back! we got down to Koh Samui on Saturday-stayed one night-in ahotel that pretended to be right in the centre of Chaweng but was in fact out in the sticks-the wonders of a carefully posed photo on a website! got a speed boat over to Koh Phangan the next morning-here in 20 mins-nice! we're staying in a really cool resort-its still being refurbished but its still awesome-r...
