This one is especially for Callum as we know you regularly read this. Glad you like the photos, Auntie Toni misses you lots. We stayed in Kanchanaburi about 2 and a half days, whenever we tell people about it they go "eh, where?" until we tell them that's where the bridge over the river Kwai was and then they realise, mostly, some still say "eh, where?". First day we cycled around a bit looking at the sights, ie the bridge and a museum. The next day we ...

Hi everyone, We have returned to Thailand after leaving Laos behind. Our first destination was Chaing Mai where we stayed for about a week. We managed to fit in a cookery course. I doubt many people have sampled mine or Krys' cooking before because neither of us can cook, so it was an experience! We did pretty well though and will through a Thai dinner party when we get home to prove it. My spring rolls were wicked (and vegetarian for Kelly, Rachel and ...

Hi everyone! Firstly, to my brother, I dont care if the journal entries are too long for your liking - we are aware we may be boring people at times but as family and friends you are morally obliged to keep up with what we're doing!

Basically for 3-4 days the whole town stops working and throws water at anyone close to them. A...

Hi guys, Thanks to all you sypathetic folks who suggested Krys could be finding more effective ways of bumping off Toni (you know who you are!). Monkey bite is healing nicely, and so far no more injuries to Toni, although it was finally Krys' turn and he sliced a bit out if his knee during a run up to a rope swing. He's going to call it his injury from his time in Nam from now on, even though he was in Laos (because the war spilled over to here anyway). ...

Well, we are on our final day in Vietnam now and fly to Laos tomorrow. Although we predicted in our last e-mail that it would be Krys's turn for a life threatening incident- turns out no, still Toni's turn, but we'll come to that in a bit! Hoi An was a beautiful little old town in the middle of Vietnam. It was really strange as it had about 300 tailors. Would've got suits made but too expensive to ship them home. Toni got a skirt tailored for $6 (about 3.50 ...
