Hello again...we are safely back on land and breathing through our mouths not a regulator...and are now qualified scuba divers (thanks Deb & Kev) ...roll on the Great Barrier Reef!

We are safely in Bangkok and have seen some cockroaches that put the rats out here to shame...thankfully they have been on plates or in frying pans and not in our rooms!

We have been away for nearly five weeks now and still our sense of direction has got no better...we spent 4-5 hours roaming the streets of Bangkok on our first night look for a McDonalds (Pleaase excuse us but you can get a double (yes DOUBLE) Big Mac, fries and a strawberry fanta ice cream float (mmmm) for less than 2.50....and when you have had Bangkok belly you want something that looks familular!)

Once we got a decent map and some day-light we managed to venture our way to the Grand Palace, a Ping Pong Show and to Jay's delight a Muay Thai stadium to watch a few fights! We have a few days left so are going to get in a bit of shopping at the largest market in the world...god help our luggage allowance and visit the park at sunrise to watch the locals doing their yoga and areobics! We are then off to Kanchanaburi to visit the Tiger Temples; Waterfall, River Kwai and to do a cooking course!

Hope you are all keeping safe and warm...we have heard about the weather and when we get another good computer we will upload some more pictures (we still got more from the zoo to add...excited!!)

Lots of love from both of us xx
