Hi guys,

Where are you in the world ? I heard a rumour today that you're in Thailand ? If so I'm leaving London next Wednesday and will be in Thailand for a week. Let me know where you'll be as if your about it would be great to catch up. I may even buy you dinner !!

Look forward to hearing from you soon hopefully.

Hi you two,

The trip sounds great so far, and we've really enjoyed looking at the photos. I see from your itinerary that your just over one month away from being halfway through your adventure so make sure you make the most of your remaining time.

It would be appreciated if you could come round to ours when you get back as we could do with a new oven (Our grill's playing up). I hear your both masters of building new ones now so I'm looking forward to a gas/electric combo if you don't mind ?

I'm hoping that by the time you get back home the mighty Saints would've secured promotion from League One and on their way back to the Premiership !! We're playing Brighton tomorrow which is a big one for us so keep your fingers crossed !!

We're all looking forward to reading about the next episode of your trip so take care, safe safe and enjoy every minute of it !!
