alright guys. visas are b******s in asia - sure everyone tries to rip you off. if youve already got your visa then you should be fine, just make sure youve got as many days as they said theyd give you. for laos just walk across yourself and you should get a 15 day job (enjoy the tubing). on the vietnam border some guys will ask for your passport cos they want money for filling the form in which you can do yourself so just say `who are ya`. be carefull in orthern vietnam cos everyone is out to rip you off, if your leaving through saigon you should be fine. think cambodia is ok on boarders. enjoy,

Hi guys, just to let you know that Ruth and Rob have a son, Lawrence Robert Day who was born at 3.36am today. He weighed 8lbs 14 1/2 oz. He's a big boy like his Dad! Apparantly everyone is OK but tired, and as soon as we get piccies I will forward them to you.
Hope Asia is good, don't get too near those chickens! Love Sam and Jacky ( the quiet, sedate and lovely house!)

Hi guys, hope you arrived safely at the other Barker residence! Say hi to all for me. All going well here, no baby news yet though from Ruth. Mum did really well in her half marathon, and I'm sure she'll tell you all about it.
Paul Stoddart came over to ours yesterday and he can't believe how much you've grown up Boy! Mind you, he now has facial hair as well. Roly really loved him. Have got a wicked photo to show you guys when you come home, or maybe I can email it. Roly in a pushchair! He looks so comfy! Obviously I just did it for a joke, and wouldn't really take him out in it.......
Only 9 more get ups for school from today. Can't wait. I have dusted off the videos and we're going to ge square eyed, obviously it is all to help their understanding of the books we have read!
Anyway, got to go, videos to rewind! Take care, Love Sam XXX

Hey everyone, good to hear from the Barker and Gaunt clan, not sure my family know we have a notice board. Can't believe Ruth's baby is due so soon, feels like we have been away for sooo long! Well work is finnally over and we had a great leaving doo last night with everyone we have met up here. Will be sort of sad to leave but not really. Really looking froward to meeting the family and being in a house before we start the next stage! good luck with the marathon Gill, you'll do great!
lots of love El

You certainly seem to be seeing more than your fair share of spiders. Perhaps you should look for something slightly more cuddly. A koala or two perhaps.Looking at your itinerary you should be soon on your way to Perth and a few home comforts.
give my regards to your Uncle Charlie and family. Ruth and Rob's baby is due this week-end coming and then Louise's wedding on 29th July. And then it will be coming along to your home coming. Are you looking forward to getting back to good old U K or is the sunshine and outdoor life in Oz. calling you? We are all looking forward to seeing you both. Take care and enjoy the rest of your stay in Australia Lots of love G/Ma xxx
