Good to hear about your adventures. Glad the beards gone!! Dead envious of you out there in Malaysia. You can keep the mountain thing tho, that sounded like hard work! Have a great Christmas, a good New Year and happy safe travelling. x x

(Don't know about the beard tho ' Hides that good looking face )

WOW!! The pics are amazing! And it really does look like you are about to reach an untimely death off the mountain! Seen any windsurfing in Cape Town? I would love to go but a bit too concerned about sharks - and in fact your pics haven't helped much on that front...

Take care and continue having fun! We could be siblings, my dad had a ginger beard and he was in the navy based in Portsmouth at about the right time... Hmmm..... Loving the fact that gingerness causes such a fuss!

Hi Matt glad to see that your trip is going well, and I am enjoying seeing your photos very clever some of them. Not sure about the beard though seems out of place bald head and long beard? Perhaps when you get to NZ you can visit the Lord of the Rings places of interest and stay in the Hobbits YMCA hostel because your beard will be nearly touching the floor by then you would fit right in! I should be in NZ by middle March 08 so maybe we will be able to catch up Keep the photos coming Best Wishes IJ

Hey Monkey!!!

Well Well, I must say im am sooooo jelous!!!!! It looks amazing!!! Reading about you table mountain climb, I must say it took me 4 and a half hours to climb so tyour time is a record!!! Bet your having a wicked time, and by the way theres nothing wrong with a bit of ginge, it runs in my family too. Take Care..

Looks like you boys are enjoying yourselves. I wouldn't expect anything less. I am so jealous of your Thailand trip. What I would give to see painting elephants again. I'm betting you can't knock a nail into a piece of wood in one hit or walk down Bangalanga Road without getting your arse pinched though! Stay safe. xx

PS. A big for old times "Wasaaaauuuup" to Tim!
