we would like to apologise for some of the pics from the thailand album.

Due to Amy we ended up drinking with very camp men and ladyboys. This occured in Kho Samui. We had previously seen these people performing in a show. Personally I am ashamed.

Hi -I had been typing you a message for 10 mins-then pressed a wrong key and somehow the video clip of the market came flashing up so All what i had typed got wiped off! Not impressed! So this is a short message-lovely video clips-fantastic views and the market reminded me of Japan. Dad is sorting things out for you. That's it from your computer hating Mum! Have great time in Nam with your visitors. Lots of love Mumxxxx

Hi Amy and Andrew, well your big bro and cuz will be on their way manana, how exciting is that. It will be great for Nick to see Hong Kong as he was born there, even if it is only for a few hours, at least he can say he has been there. The new photos look great, I am fascinated at all the sites of interest you have already seen on your travels, cant wait to see the next ones. You are now aclimatised to the heat and that should help you as it gets hotter into the season, its good Nick was working out in it as well to give him a start. At the moment uk is having a heat wave so thats good for them there. See Amy i can do my sums. take care, have fun. lots of love to you both. Mummy xxx

Hi both of you,
