Alex and Steph Hey Guys. Mum - get your emails sorted out or log into skype so i can call you!!!!! Trudy and Ayisha - Yeah, cant believe young benjamin... :-) cant wait to see the littlen when we get back as I understand itll be around then, scary!!! Keith and Lyn - It was really good diving. It took us a little while to figure the camera out but after that it took some really good photos. It was one the dive company lent us, a canon but not sure what model... with an underwater housing. (upto 40m) Sheila and Keith - Thank you. We are having an amazing time. In Malaysia now on Langkawi, moving to Penang tomorrow. Thanks all for writing messages. We are a little behind with the blog so will do our best to catch up. Keep reading. Miss you all much love Alex and Steph x x x

Keith and Lyn Just looked at the underwater pics. Very nice! It's good to see an unspoiled reef. What kind of camera did you use. It does a pretty good job.

Alex and Steph Hey mum, Have had limited internet recently too. Thats ok, we are on Ko Tao now. Its beautiful. Not too touristy and the beachis amazing and the water is so clear. You dont even need to stick your head under wateryou can see it all. Just completed our Advanced PADI which was cool as we did a night dive last night. Have emailed soph, she said she would pass it on. Glad it all went ok with Keith etc. Hope all is well. Look forward to ringing you with a webcam!! :-) xx
