Helen and Ben Hi! Good to hear from you all! We're stuck in Bangkok at the moment and have no idea when we'll be allowed to escape (it's like working for BT). We've changed our route and have decided that time is now too short to stretch to Northern Thailand and Laos so our next stop is now Siem Reap in Cambodia - hopefully this weekend. In the mean time, getting soaked in BK. Keep in touch and let us know how you all are. Love H & B xxx

Alec & Vera Helen, Ben, many congratulations on the engagement. We both wish you and Ben many years of as much fun as you seem to have had on the tour. Sorry we have been out of touch. Take care and all the best from the Swiss Alps. p.s. when you get back to Derby pop into Bombardier and switch off the lights!

Elaine & Graham Sorry not to have been in touch sooner but congratulations on the engagement. It all sounded very romantic. Hope you enjoy the rest of your trip and have a happy and healthy life together. We're getting very excited now as it's only four weeks until we go to Oz. Obviously as seasoned travellers you've already experienced that and lots more besides. Anyway, take care and have fun. love from Elaine and Graham xx

Helen and Ben Thank you all for your nice messages and e-mails. We're both very happy and are currently planning our last days in Australia and plotting our escape to Asia. We would have quashed the nipples discussion sooner, but it was just too funny! Lots of love xx
