Hello again!
We're in Bangkok at the moment and it's lovely and warm! We've visited some markets where you can buy everything from Marble statues to real Puppies and seen lots of Buddhas and Royal residences.
On Wed we're off to Chiang Mai during the Thai national holiday to join the new year celebrations, which from what I gather is a 4 day long waterfight!
Thanks for all your messages, it's brilliant to hear from you all and I hope everyone had a lovely Easter. OOh and my phone is not working in thailand for some reason if anyone has tried to text/call. might be a while before I can use it again
Lots of love
Helen xx

Hi Helen, Nice to hear the update, you sound as if you're having lots of fun, especially being marooned on an island, can we come too? Photos are lovely, don't eat too many cheap dumplings they're not as good as mine (mum speaking - remember your last supper). As you have ducked sailing so many times no wonder you chose a sick bird boat (sorry Helen dad took over the keyboard).
Take care & don't foget to keep enjoying yourselves.
Lots & Lots of Love M & D xxxxxx

Hi everyone, thanks for your messages they are stopping me from getting too homesick!
Ive posted a present for Max back to Mum but I might well do another package in Hong Kong.
Im having a great time with my tour group, there is 8 of us (americans and brits) and they are a good laugh. Food is surprisingly good and cheap but not in shanghai where we are now. Got some good pics once i worked out the best way to use the camera!
weve got a 26 hour train ride to our country trekking site and i cant get an english magazine for love nor money, wish me luck!
Lots of love H xx

Hi Helen, hope all's well. Have been working in the sophisticated area of Leeds & Bradford this week, although I suspect it doesn't quite compare with yourselves. Henry came home today & Del's studio is now in our loft (still in boxes I might add). If you want to post us anything back, feel free: I'll pay the postage! Missing you lots.

It all looks very exciting and new. Beats the routine here any time. Just to help out with the penguin count I think I saw one in the Sqaure in Bejing on one of your photos. Look after yourself. Dad & Mum

Keep smiling. Still looking in on your progress. Good to see you are enjoying yourselves. How's the food? Are the prices good?
