Cesca's big adventure
Hello all - below is a poem written by one of my travelling companions through Thailand, Loas, Vietnam and Cambodia about the group we travelled with. Enjoy and thanks Eleanor - I think you depicted us all pretty well.
28 Days: written and performed by Eleanor Rose Ball. All copyrights to E.Ball 2006!!!
28 days, 28days 28 days in Indochine,
28 days of amazing memories, the wondrous things we've seen.
From Kayaking and jumping off the boat, up in Halong Bay,
To clothes shopping in Hoi An and motorbikes in Hue.
From the motorbike infested streets, of Hanoi and Saigon,
To the ancient wonders of Angkor Wat and the overgrown Ta Phrom.
From the tragic history of the killing fields, and prisons of Phnom Penh,
To the lazy streets of Luang Prabang and lollypops in Vientiane!
From the disco carriage up to Chang Mai, we tried to get some sleep,
To the final bumpy journey, to Bangkok from Siem Reap.
28 days, 28days 28 days in Indochine,
28 days of amazing memories, the wondrous things we've seen.
28 days, 28days 28 days on the Indo-China Loop,
28 days traveling with such an amazing group.
Our feisty Canadian trio, who's situation they need to explain...
For who is the real couple? Dave n' Danielle or Danielle and Jane?!
Dear Kristin the warmest, most positive person you could meet,
She's kept us amused as she cries 'Oh s***!' and trips over her own feet!
And then there's northern Jane, a Yorkshire lass through and through,
We've found it funny, how someone so slim, eats enough for at least two!
Norwich's finest Francesca, the glamorous Psych Nurse
A serial professional shopper, who lives by the whim of her purse.
Aggie the international Pol, from China Chile and Spain.
Just give her a bottle of JD, then drag her on the Plane!!
Dear Mandy and Greg have kept us inline, on time and up out of bed,
With 10 children in tow, this trip has been, good practice for the years ahead!
Finally Mary and Suz, I've got not one amazing friend but two,
The best people to travel with, I'm glad i got to share this all with you.
28 days, 28days 28 days on the Indo-China Loop,
28 days traveling with such an amazing group.
28 days, 28days 28 days with Kris with a 'k',
28 days of fun and laughter, what more can I say?
Except.....look into my eyes, you'll see what you mean to me etc!!
Sorry for that Cheesy interlude,
but not to celebrate Kris' singing would have been quite rude.
Kris you've been our leader, our guru, our dad,
You always informative and cool, when we must have been driving you mad!
I'm sure all here will join me, to wish you luck in all you endeavor,
And all the lucky students you teach, will have the best teacher ever!!
28 days, 28days 28 days with Kris with a 'k',
28 days of fun and laughter, what more can I say?
28 days, 28 days and there is time for one more Rhyme..
Everyone..what time is it? It's beer Lao time!!
