Michelle My darling Laura... Miss you like crazy already. Feels wierd being without you gal pals over here in Koh Samet. It is so beautiful- the beach is amazing and Kath and I reck'n we can take advantage of the somewhat tame night life here and turn it into a party. Words can't describe how glad I am that we travelled through SE Asia together.. I actually feel like we should be going home together to live each others lives now!!! Finishing Cambodia with you and MC was perfect and I wouldn't have it any other way...wish those dynamics of our little foursm were still there. Tell the others I said hi and give Han a big kiss for me when you go home. :( xoxoxoxoox michelle (always a place in Vancouver for you)

Hannah Hello my lovelies. Just looking at pictures wondering where you are and what you have been doing? Missing you all like crazy, so so strange spending over a week not being in your company! Nothing intertesting to tell from me, been to the hospital on Weds. Good and bad news. the ligaments are def damaged with the trauma of the dislocation but intensive physio should do the job. Off away for Sarah's second 50th party this weekend. Let me know how you are are and what you have been doing? have you bought lots of lovely things in Hoi An? SO SO SO jealous. Love you to you all and Team Cananda if they are still with you. Email soon and ill call you if you can get a number to call on. HUGE HUGS. Han.x

Ben Noble Cuz, the pics look absolutely brilliant, the ones of oz take me back!! Hope your staying clear of all the red back and funnel web spiders, however the snakes are quite tame just give them a friendly stroke and they are sure to be your best friend! Anyway hope your having a great time just savour every minute, keep the journal up to date it makes an interesting read. Finally a word of wisdom from the wise one! If you get short of money dont get a job introduce the world to your visa card!! Missing you lots. Love Ben x

uncle bazza a up luv, just thought i better give you a couple of tips as well you know i am a seasoned traveller meself. First one is - watch out for foreigners the can be a bit of a problem when you are abroad, stick to a good old yorkshire accent and yer won,t go far wrong. Don,t speak to strangers and if you have to make sure you know them first. lots of luv will keep checkin on yer
