Yet again you stun us with amazing photos and each one tells a story. Can't wait to hear the stories from you though. May 31 soon be here xxx

Hope your continuing to enjoy your travels and keeping safe. Look forward to more pictures. Lou x

Hi Mandy - This last batch seems to go from the ridiculous to the sublime, pictures showing poverty then others showing wealth, what extremes !! but you do look as though you are enjoying it. Once again stunning pictures, I wonder are you going to keep them on disc or buy a job lot of Photo Albums ??? It will be good to see you when you return, to listen to the tales you have to tell.. See you soon and take great care love Judy

Great pictures, look forward to hearing all about your travels. Take care x

Hi Mandy - It will be more than one session with 'A Glass of Wine' it looks to me like 10 bottles of wine in at least 4 sessions !!! What absolutely stunning pictures, you will have to explain in detail some of them to me others I have managed to grasp. You have managed to pack a lifetime experience in such a short time - I am so jealous, wish I could have come with you. How are you going to TOP this i wonder, and will you be able to settle to our humdrum life back here in the UK !!!!!!!
Take great care of yourself, thank you so much for sharing this with us lots of love Judy xxx

Your latest photos are amazing - you have seen so much more than I could ever hope to......but I will have your photos! You look great - really happy and healthy. Soak it up, and drink it all in as you will soon be home. Looking forward to a catch up but I'm not going to wish your holiday away. Keep taking care.....xx

Great photos again Mandy. A real insight to life there. The ruins are incredible. Many of the photos take me back to the film 'The King & I'

Hi Judy, plan to update photos and blogs in next few days! So many photos but be more than happy to go through the photos over a glass of wine maybe!
In Vietnam now, head to HCMC aka Saigon today and then head upward toward Hanoi, over to Laos and then loop back through Thailand; may then head to Indonesia and finally Hong Kong and China. You are right I'll be home before I know it and whilst I can't wait to see all my family and friends I am not ready for life back in UK yet!!

More amazing pictures Mandy, when you come back we are going to have one very long session when you talk me through some of them. You look very happy and healthy. Was just checking up on your whereabouts now, the time has flown since you have been away and just realised you are on the homeward straight now. Take care of yourself and keep the pictures coming the family are enjoying them xxx

Hi Mandy, yet again some more stunning photo's will be nice when you return home and talk me through some of the pictures. Was on the phone to Karen Leech (ex HR Mtg Services) talking her through some of your pictures and messages, she went there about 14yrs ago and kept saying 'has she done !! and !! and !! ' of course I was saying yes to them all, she was extremely envious, but did say it was so sad about Christchurch as it was beautiful and bustling when she was there. Life is much the muchness here, my eldest Granddaughter and family are emigrating to Canada the end of the month, but hey there is SKYPE so I will still be able to see and talk to them, and have started saving for the ''cheap hols over there'' !!!. Will have some serious catch up when you return. Take care and keep the pictures coming, Love Judy xx

Amazing photos Mandy of both NZ & OZ. Well done! xxxx

Hi Mandy, just caught up on your blog & photos, looks like you're having an amazing experience. It's made me desperate to go back to Oz and even more desperate to go to NZ, with all the stunning scenery. Not sure about me managing the glacier, the bungee or the swing now though (especially with a 5 year old in tow!!). Carry on with the great updates, your India blog was great reading, a real insight into life there in and out of the tourist traps! Looking forward to the next chapetr! Take care and enjoy every minute, Julie xx
