howdy doo dah!

just a wee quick blog to let you all know that we went forth to the riots of bangkok, and guess what, its fine!

i dont know how much of the news got home but bankok on the 12-14th of april had political protests (dont ask me what about) and there were lots of shootings n stuff. we tried to get flights changed and were told that the only other airport we could fly into was singapore - no thanks!

so we got on a 737 with ten other people (whole rows to ourselves!) and have stayed in a hostel outside the city centre. its fine, we're fine and enjoying the heat (well mo is, kezz is resembling a wet sponge constantly!)

tommorow we get a bus out the city to a national park to the east then we're going to do an overnight train up to the laos border(the best bits of thailand are in the south which we will see when we come back into the country)

for now though we're safe and well and off to have breakfast.

thanks for all the congratulation messages - its very reassuring to know people still read this damn thing!

love m and k x x x x
