14 DecemberKoh Phi Phi (Long Beach)MARK: Food poisoning sucks. It's unnecessary and easy to avoid if only restaurants simply took care not to serve food that's off. It's expensive too. 100 baht for the meal which makes you sick and then 300 baht for the medicine to make you better. We should actually charge the cost back to the resort! So K…

But first - a little trip east... 2.5 months in South East Asia to try and behave like we're 22 again! Shared bathrooms in hostels... I have a feeling I'm going to be longing for those 5 star resorts I've become used to now! this is it - the adventure we've been waiting a long long time for! starts 12 October.. watch …

Hi you two, back in Bangkok I see. I got the DVD of Zambia pics to open on my laptop at work!!! Pretty simple really......when you know what to do!!!! Thanks so much for those. Where are you on your b/day Markie? Somewhere nice I hope. We will be thinking of you and raising our glass of wine to you. 31!! Wow! All well here except the Poms thrashed us at the last 50 overs cricket game and Ireland beat us at rugby, so a pretty dismal weekend! Spoke to Craig who is back and he seems chipper and looking forward to working on Lammershoek. So am I as he will be earning some money!! Otherwise all well and just dreading Christmas lunch.!! Have fun and look after yourselves.OOOOXXXX
DAD H!!
Sorry to read you have not been well Kimbo but then that is to be expected over there. We have been at Mbotji for the past 8 days so a bit out of reach of any comms. Caught plenty of Bronze Bream and one nice Salmon. Otherwise ate loads of oysters & mussels but crays out of season unfortunately. We are all well and read your blog with great interest. You certainly are having fun, shot! The Zambian pic DVD arrived Markie but I can't open it on my DVD player, it doesn't see the disc! Nor does my desktop! Anything you can tell me? Travel safely. OOXX Dad and Sands
