ok so all sleeps counted down and we're in Bangkok after a rather emotional (may i add from Gill, hard as nails, Pringle, not from karen, crys at eastenders, goodfellow) departure at Heathrow! Flight was good, lts of food...Gill and Karen in their element, and surprsisingly probably the first time i've ever seen Gill turn down alcohol, especailly free booze...is the start of the slip??!!

Managed to find the hotel, then got out on thr street for noodle and spring rolls, finner for both of us at about a pound, although we keep getting aske if we want 'ping pong'!! Am sure thi is something we should be worried about!

Anyways will send photos soon

love karen and Gill
