Presume you are or about to cross into Malaysia. When you have time post another blog for us all to read so we can plot you on our atlas!. Heard from Ness that you phoned to wish her happy birthday. Looking forward to a proper skype where we can see you maybe next weekend. Hope your final section of travels in S E Asia goes well before you head off to Oz and that your toe gets better!! All our love M and D xxx

Hi Sophie

What a great time you are having. Singing in the market was interesting, we only sing in the bath and then not very often. Have a recital when you get back !Look forward to hearing more of you travels. Take care.

Love Ted & Mary

Hi Sophie,

Good to see your latest blog. You are having an amazing time. Susan away on her charity trek in Costa Rica at the moment-rainy season so she is getting very wet. She comes back Sunday. You take care on your travels. Love the photos too.

Love Peter&Susan

Wow, it brings back so many amazing memories reading your blog- we did pretty much the same route. Have a fab time on the party islands and you HAVE to do a dive from Koh Tao, I thought it was better than the Great Barrier Reef and you'll only regret it if you don't!!

Take care and enjoy the full moon party.

Lots of love

Hi Sophie

The adventure has really begun !Appears you are having a great time and enjoying yourself. Nice to see so many photos especially the water sport ones. You are still a bit of a swinger !

Look forward to seeing Vietnam

Love Ted & Mary xxxx

Hope you're enjoying Laos and french indo china. We've just today returned from France and stocked up on some wine for your return!. Hope you get some sun soon, the news here mentioned the rain storms in Thailand and Cambodia. There are some great shots in the last bunch of photos - specially the baby pigs, a serene one of you praying and also saying goodbye to the children. All our love Dad and Mum xx

Hey Sophs

Wow, sounds like you're having an amazing time and meeting lots of people along the way! We didn't make it to Luang Prabang and went South to Si Phan Don instead, but I heard it's amazing - am very jealous!

All's well here, I had my 12 week scan and the baby is moving around alot! I'm busy starting a new business at the coast before we move to Windhoek, plus we've started looking at properties in Windhoek so hopefully by the time you get here we'll have somewhere to live - all in all, busy times!

Take care of yourself and have lots of fun.

Your biggest sis xx

Hi Sophie,

Looks like you are having a great time and now settled into the adventure. I did laugh at your comments about the piglets all in one crate no bigger than a chest... I suppose it depends on the size of the chest.. and who it belongs to!

I hope you have been keeping up with the rugby, poor Namibia got a bit of lesson from South Africa. I remember being on the end of a similar score line at school, not fun, hopefully the matches this weekend will be closer.

I look forward to reading your next blog and catching up with the photos.

Keep smiling. Every Blessing Phil and Ann

Hi Sophie,

Its great to be able to travel with you. It really does take me back. Chiang Mai is very interesting. I found it quite different to further south. Perhaps a bit more backpack friendly now. Have a fab time.

Love Susan and Peter

Hi Sophie

Great to see the new photos and that you are enjoying youself. You will be able to take up pig farming when you get back !The real adventure is now about to begin as you move on, and look forward to hearing more of your travels.

Love Ted & Mary xxx

Glad you are settling in and have found a good Thai friend in Warin. We have said goodbye to Carly who will be travelling back to Namibia after the weekend. On Saturday we'll be supporting Vanessa in her marathon dragon boat row in Great River Race -and waiting for her at the finish line by ham House in Richmond. Jill N and Anne D have asked for this blog address so no doubt they will be adding a message or two. Hope to get to speak to you via Skype on my birthday and have a lovely time when you vist the ancient capital. xxx
