YAY-it worked! Won't be able to get rid of me rambling on here all the time now! Er-what exactly is tubing? Sounds like it could be painful! Loving the story of your recent journey...good job you or kie needed the toilet! Love you x x

Hi you two-haven't had much luck posting a message yet-hope this works! I love your photos...you guys are having such an awesome time by the look of it! Look forward to hearing and seeing more adventures! Lots of love from all x x x x x x

Some great photis. You both looked as though you were having a smashing time! Nice to see Kie took to the rope swing. Not for you Sophie? Too high or too energetic? haha. If you go back it may be an idea to cover up so you don't get burnt to a frazzle! It's absolutely pouring down here, and a little chilly. Want to swap? Take care of yourselves and love to you both. Keep safe. xxxxxx

Hello you guys, just seen the elephant video, with the sound too, very noisy. Hope you are both well, although Fay tells me that Sophie has been suffering a bit from the sun, you need a big hat girl! iRIS IN cAnberra was asking after you so pased on the web site number so I dont know if she was able to get through to see you. Lots of love from Grags, take care of yourselves. xx

Hello you two... how are you now Kie? I don't think I'd like that many hours on a boat at the best of times, but I'm guessing you feel a lot better. At least you see plenty of the countryside without whizzing by in a bus, and see some of the local people. Which seems an experience in itself. The bed looked comfortable anyway so hope you had a good night. Good luck with the tubing - we have looked at other people's videos and they seemed to be enjoying themselves! Hope to see more photos of you two as well as the scenery. Lots of love, take care xxxxx

Good to hear that you've arrived safely. Shots of the sunset over the river are excellent. Boat looked a little crowded. You could go stir crazy on that after 9 hours. Good idea to pay a little more for accommodation after such a long journey, and the mosquito net kept the little sods away, if not the bed bugs! Tubing? Enjoy it but keep a life jacket on if you're pissed and jumping in the water. Can't see the old man doing that though can you! Haha. Well keep the photis coming and love and hugs to you both. Keep safe. xxxxxxxx

Hello Sophie and Kie, I do hope Kie is better now, and that you are o.k. lovely to see you on the photos, it gives me another hobby and to leave ironing again! Do please keep safe, lots of love, gran or grags, as Im usually known.

Some stunning scenery around Pai, and nice to see some shots of the wildlife. Was it hard to get that hat off him Sophie? haha. Good to see that you are now back on the move, and very pleased to hear that Kie is beginning to get his appetite back. Just hate to think what the sausages tasted like! And mash. Any gravy and onions? Full English Sophie? Sounds good. Suppose it's back to rice and curries now. I hope Laos is as well equipped as Thailand, especially with wifi. Lots of love to the both of you and keep safe. xxxxxx

Lovely to see more photos... I was getting withdrawal symptoms! Nice to see Kie without his hat and to see he is looking better. Glad you enjoyed the full English Sophie, nothing like rubbing it in when Kie has a poorly tummy haha! Have a good time and keep safe. Lots of love xxx

Hi Kie and Soph, thanks for the txt, glad you managed to get back to Chaing mai okay, even if it was Soph on the bus, you on a moped. Kie at least you could stHave to say the moped was a good idea though, at least you could stop when you needed to... Hope you manage to get some food down you now to build up your strength before you set off on your travels again. Take care both of you, stay safe, love you loads. xx

Hello Sophie and Kie, its great to see you both nd having such a great time, I did send a blog before but it doesnt seem to have got through, I'm so technical (?), as you well know. Anyway I hope this one gets there. Lots of love, Grags, xxxx

The Baan Tawan Guesthouse looks a cracking place. Do they still have the dog? Pity about the new lot of photis but there's no rush. Look after yourselves and keep safe. Will keep you updated with the rugby scores, Kie. And build up your strength before you move on. Let's be honest I wouldn't rush away from there anyway. Love to you both. xxxxxxx
