Hello from Ko Phangan, We have only just arrived. What a trek it was, 21 hours later of different forms of transport we have arrived. 13 hour train jounery which was such a noisey train although Luke slept for about 10 hours. So Jealous. On a Bus for about 3 hours, boat for 2.5 hours and then just walking and waiting around. All very tired and achy after those heavy bags. We have a bungalow here which is great, nicest room we have stayed in so far. All very pleased costing around 8 each a nite, we could of got a cheaper room but wanted the luxury until we are poor. Its right of the beach, clear water and white sand. Jenny and George - Thanks for the message, any advice about oz im comin to you, hope you enjoyed your time. Weather Girl (Kathryn) - Thanks for the weather updates.lol. keep them comin. x Nan - Pleased you can work the journal site again, check your emails. x Becky - Hey. Great to hear from you, hope the school job is going well. Will email you soon. xx All is well here, very tired not sure what the plans are tonight might be a few drinks see what heppens. Love to all Jon xx

Hello!!!! How was the party? Rather you than me but Im sure it was great! Went to see Fran's baby 2nite Luke, you would have loved her, smaller than Lily I think! James didn't come though as he didn't want to hold her!! I think he's frightened in case he starts wanting one of his own! (Yeah right)! Hope u r all well and not to hung over from the party! Hope to speak to you soon! xx

Hi Jon!!!! Just wanted to say that I am watching your every move!!!! (With great interest!). So glad you seem to be having a fantastic time - George and I got the details from "Mummy Tickner"!! Have a fantastic time - can't wait to see your trip across Australia! Take care, Jen x

Miss you mate. Keep in touch. Kathyrn, it sounds tough at home at the moment haha! To all the Mums, we promise to cover ourselves in head to toe with sun cream. And to everyone, once again we forgot to bring our USB cables so the final Hong Kong photos will have to wait another day or so! Sorry! Not long till we start our train journey so we will get back on here as soon as we can. :) Speak soon xxx

hey guys! Severe weather here.... tornados and monsoon rain! We are in three foot of water and living in the attick to avoid trench foot!

Hi Guys, Glad to hear you arrived in Bangkok safe and well, still not heard from you Oli - I am beginnig to think you have forgotten your sis already! I have been told by friends at work that when you go to this big partay on the beach you should avoid the drink which appears to be Red Bull this is apparantley a lethal concoction... I imagine this will make you want it even more but I would avoid at all costs by the sounds of it. Take care guys! Love Sara xxxx

You've made it! Yey!! Don't breathe in too much of the grotty Bk air and be sure to hold on very tight when you go on the Tuk Tuks!! Also be tough with the Tuk Tuk drivers and don't let them drive you around to Tailor shops all day to get them peterol vouchers - be firm! Please don't eat any doggies! I don't think I could forgive you! have an awesome time with the cheapy cheap beer!! Lots and lots of love xxx

Hello Lucas, Hope your having a great time. Works not really the same with having you to wind up and annoy all day...rubbish. Vocey's IBM still isn't working!ha!ha! Have a great time and i'll post another message for you soon. Go careful mate... LOVE YOU... Missing you. P.S Remeber while in Bangkok be careful you don't actually Bang c*** - you can never be sure, till it's too late!
