Yes, I was envious of the dolphins to - and surprised there weren't more photos. You are certainly seeing the real countryside and meeting the locals. The little kids seem very friendly. I haven't done my homework on the water festival like Dad!! But shall have a look now and look forward to hearing about them. Lots of love, take care, xxx

Glad to hear that you are both safe and well despite the long bus journies that you've had. Green with envy over the dolphins, green with envy over the whole thing really! Certainly the islands look pretty primitive but it was good to see you both mixing with the locals. I've said it before but the photis are absolutely first class.........you been taking classes Kie? I've looked at the water festival in Phnom Penh and it looks to be great fun. Hope you get some shots of the races. Love to you both and keep safe. xxxx

You look like you are both having a fabulous time... though the bus journeys sound rather horrendous. I expect you might be staying put for a few days now? But the countryside and the people seem very friendly. Lots of love, take care xxx

Sorry to hear that Savannakhet is a letdown but Si Phan Don looks an amazing place. Have you decided which island you're going to stay on? Look out for the freshwater dolphins! Love to you both and keep safe. xxxxxxxx

Hi Kie and Soph, was good talking to you both on Skype yesterday, and the sneak previews of your lovely canvasses was good, by the light of Kies wind up torch (what a show off) ha ha. Seems strange to see Kie with a better moustache than me aye Soph ;) The pictures of the Blue Lagoon aree lovely, it looks such a tranquil place. It looks like you had fun in the Kayaks, I was expecting to see Soph at the back of the boat with her feet up, but there she was front of the boat padelling away like a good un. The steak dinner looked good, I bet you had built up a good appetite after the kayaking, glad you had a good birthday Kie. Looking forward to more pics and more blogs. Stay safe, love to you both .. xx P.s I'm not going to nag but, Get some cream for your arm Kie..

Hi Everyone!

It's nice to read all the comments, so keep them coming! Grags, i emailed you back but i'm not sure if you can check them? It was a nice surprise to see messages from you!

We now have a nice shiny new laptop, so we'll no longer be sat in internet cafe's blogging - up market travellers don't you know! Ha ha.

Speak soon, lots of love Sophie and Kie xx

Hello Sophie & Kie, loved the photos and am very impressed with Sophie's energetic activities... is this the girl whose favourite occupation is sleeping?!! As Dad says the steak & chips and ice cream looked good. I expect you'll be tired after an overnight trip but looking forward to hearing about the next stage of your travels soon. Lots of love, xx

Some great shots yet again especially of Kie and Sophie. Was that steam coming off the steak Sophie, it looked lovely. Tasted as good as it looked? Hope you had a good birthday Kie, you certainly looked like you was enjoying the ice cream. Love to you both and keep safe. xxxxxx

Happy Birthday Kie hope you both have a wkd day today x x loves x x

Hello Sophie and Kie, After a horrible day at work and horrible wet, windy weather outside it was great to see your photos. Now Sophie can you explain tubing to Katie cos I couldn't see you doing anything except drinking from a bucket! Are you a whiskey drinker now? I see that Kie is Tarzan - you Jane?! The blog really made me laugh too. Look after yourselves, lots of love, xxxx

'Didn't need the toilet' that is supposed to say! X
