Hi both. Home alone with a bad cold while Mark is at Russian class so thought I'd catch up with your blog. As usual brilliant to be kept up to date with everything and see the amazing photos.

Hope you got our last email, we can now Skype as have been trying it with your parents Kim and it works!! Hopefully we can chat sometime soon??

take care and lots of love

becca xx (and mark in spirit!)

So nice to see your travels. The blog really involves us all in your scrapes and capers. Keep it up,

Best wishes to you both, Bob M

Hey you two.... can see you are having a fab time... I am very jealous of all the Oz photo's especially, it has to be one of my favourite places on the planet - in particular the Whitsundays. I think you have the right idea travelling in your 'Wizard of Oz' it is definitely the way to do it.

Keep the photo's coming they are my main means of escapism at the mo!

Lots of love

Believe me the cassowary is not a myth - they are real, huge, ugly b*****s! Welcome to Australia - can you see why I moved here???!!!

Hi both, long time no type. I have been really enjoying your blogs and you are braver by far than I. I like to think I travel but you are the champs! When you get back tell Mark, I will cook him up a mean intestine when you come round to see us!

Hope you are well and taking care, it feels a bit safer in Aus than your previous journeying.

Lots love Charlie

Hi guys, hope you're enjoying Oz. I really like Bangkok, apart from the fact that they keep showing the Man U games on the big screens everywhere..

Going to try and look at all your photo's at some point, but the ones I've seen so far are great.

Keep in touch!

Love the hats you wore on the River Li.

Hi Guys, i am hooked on your travels. Your blogs are very funny! The photos are still wonderful. Please keep them coming!

All is good here. Mum is now 60 and looking marvellous. Hope is 21 months and beginning to become a little madam, with her 'move' and 'stay there' !! DJing is getting really busy, have lots of gigs coming up, especially in December. House is great still, got the log fire on most nights. Bit of scandal, i have been speaking to Nick (my ex) a couple of times on Facebook, nothing special!!

Well, must really get back to the boring day to day thing they call work.

Love & miss you both xxx

Hi

Your adventures appear to be going well. I especially agree with the idea fo hitting the English obesity problem with free dance lessons!! Excellent idea!

... a question though; Was the ghostly monk that you saw gliding past you at early hours in the morning an acutal person going to pray or do you mean it was a ghost??

xxxxxxx

That's one impressive sugar mouse!!!

Seeing your pics makes me crave the culture of Asia. Oz is great, although the main culture here is drinking which I'm not complaining about although my liver could do with a break I think!

Continue to enjoy China and if you want any tips for Oz let me know!

Hi both, I'm back from my hols and had a great time. Very chilled and relaxed. Didnt involve anything heavy, but some juicy cocktails were consumed! Sadly the cocktails are as juicy as it gets!

Hope was down at the weekend and she learnt ring o ring a roses, which she loved. She learns more and more all the time. She is so clever. Mums birthday is soon, have no idea what to get her. Just doing a small party at mine. Thats all she wants.

As always the blogs are amusing and pictures are funny. Well, keep having fun (but not too much!). Stay in touch and catch up soon

Hi, Love the photos! Looks fab. Sorry haven't been in touch - still waiting for OFSTED so very busy. Been waiting for months now so hopefully it will be soon so I can relax! Are you away for Christmas? Can't remember when you said you were coming home. Looking forward to going out and catching up with you both.

Take care, Lots of love to you both, Nicky x x x
