I hope your lack of recent messages doesn't mean friends and family have stopped reading the facinating blogs! Enjoyed the Gili Air one but am really glad we are not there! Too much hassle for us and the tremor........!! Horrors! Dad in Libya for the week! By the time he returns we will have booked our very brief trip out to see you both. Much love XXXXX

Forgot to say - your last blog certainly had the Whow factor!! XX

It's great to be able to talk to you more regularly now we have all sorted out our phones! Looking forward to seeing you both in December but please not too many creepy crawlies!! XXXXXXXXXXX

Hope you've both had a lovely birthday. Enjoy the relative luxury tonight, hopefully better than the 'the tent' in Sumatra. Love the photos of the orangutangs - you were pretty close. Great we managed to chat to you on your birthday. Take care of each other. Lots of love. xxxx

Happy Birthday to both of you!!!! Hope you are still having a lovely time xxxx

Hope you have a great birthday weekend. We've had great enjoyment out of reading your exploits.

Keep the blog going. Love to you both.

Greetings and lots of hugs and kisses to you both from sunny Dubrovik where Dad is working and I am lounging! We both hope you have a fabulous joint birthday tomorrow and we are sorry not to be with you to share the fun! Keep safe and have a glass or two on us! Much love
