Mum Hi Dave, We all think your blog's great, and keep checking to see if you've added any more entries; and the photos are fantastic, too. The boys had a fab time, and it all sounds absolutely wonderful. Have you decided what you are doing with the rest of your time yet? One or two people have also said to us that if you don't move on and get to the other places you'd planned for, you might regret it afterwards. Anyway whatever you do, have a GREAT time, stay safe and keep those journal entries and photos rolling in. Missing you. Lots of love, Mum xx

Faye AKA Dream Girl! Hiya DJ! Sat in dave bowen's bro's flat with tara and the boys so thought i'd send a message after reading all your journals and looking at the piccies! Very jealous of everything you are doing and seeing - it looks amazing! Heard on the grape vine you are thinking of not moving on from thailand - DO IT or you will look back and regret it. Miss you loads dude and now tara is leaving me - boohoo! catch up soon when you come back so you can tell me all about it! Love ya xx faye x
