We're now safely in Phnom Penh (where there are no beaches so no need for an aftersun panic just yet!) after a delightful 8 hour boat trip across lake something or other (begins with a T i think) where the boat kept getting stuck in the shallows! we werevery tired afterwards - couldn't get any sleep as the boat was making a noise like a drowned helicopter (very noisy) so we're going to go to sleep soon! Mom & Dad, could you email me nan and Gramps'address? i'll send all others to home!!! Hayley, could you tell everyone at work i said hey and ha ha you're all working still and i'm in Cambodia (which, by the way, is a really cool country!) oh and tell wood to get here and write us a message! i've emailed her the link but you know what enterprise are like - she probably didn't get it!
Danny told you all in his last message about the $1 kids who will sell you their arm if you'll give them a dollar! well we decided to buy some postcards from one the other day in the town centre and danny bought some from a boy while i was looking at some others. So i said no to the girl who proceeded to follow us halfway back to the hotel (quite a way) telling Danny he was a bad man and maybe he didn't like girls but liked boys!! i laughed real loud!!
anyway, enough from me
speak to you all soon - hope you're all well and not missing us too much... oh and PS Sar, i don't need Topshop when i have some lovely fishermens trousers and scarves at my disposal!!
Bye Bye
Vin And Janet
Hi dan and jody,
I am sure you are not aware of the close run title chase going on back home !!
United are closing in in the southern softies and at the weekend will be only 4 points behind. We demolished the arsenal !!!
Sorry I missed your phone call (again) , some of us do have to work for a living !!!
Anyway off for my meat balls - remember to keep up the sun screen would hate to see you with a tan of any kind.
Remember no meat (of any kind ) on friday , not even crocodile !!
I am thinking of changing your name to crocodile Dundee !!
folks at work a really interested in the map in my office which I am using to keep track of your adventure . I am thinking of including you in the NBS monthly brief - could do with some pictures - ideally you feeding a crocodile!!
keep in touch
Mom And Dad
Glad to hear you are both having a wonderful time it sounds amazing. ( Jo if you start doing danny's washing you can start doing ours when you come back home hehe)
Did you take lots of photos of the sunrise over the temple at Angkor wat?
Have a great time on the beaches at Phnon Penh and dont forget to use lots of sun cream.
Can't wait to hear the next instalment.
All our love

Jody
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
Where do you think they took us for our first dinner in Cambodia!? to a restaurant where you had to sit on the floor around a table and behind us was a pit full of crocodiles!!! HA HA HA HA HA HA but Danny was a very brave boy and fed them fish! not sure it was a good idea to poke one of them in the eye with a fish but we're still alive so all is well!
Went to lots of temples and wats yesterday - was quite a good day except it got really hot in the afternoon so we were ready to come home (Don't worry em - Danny had his factor 50 on all day which i would have thought is strong enough to patch up the ozone layer let alone protect skin!)
We're not quite in the middle of nowhere either - we thought Cambodia was going to be a poverty stricken country but the motorola and nokia shops soon put us to rights - it's still not rich but better than we expected!
anyway - i'm going to go, we had a lie in today as we've been getting up so early in the mornngs recently - we're up at 5.30 ish in the morning to catch a boat across to Phnom Penh which is going to take 5 hours and we're both very hungry (craving western food and we found a pizza restaurat so think we're going to be typical tourists!)
Speak to you all soon!

Hi Jody & Dan, glad to hear your having a great time. Just a quick ello off to WORK now!!!
Tom
Hello 'ello 'ello! My my you guys are getting about! I wont lie and say i'm missing you guys, because Ive just been for a lovely weekend with the fat and hand. Sunk some beers for you, spent most of the night in a gay bar in Windsor, for you, and told jim he was fat at least 100 times, for you. We can say England is ticking over without you! At the moment i'm [not] doing my dissertation, in lboro, so i'm not looking after Kiddy or Cookley for you Jode, but obviously we dont have the amphibian problems you do. Although a swan choked it, so dont come back, or you might catch the lurgy. Keep up the good work and fly the British flag proud.
Momma

Hey guys :) I am so jealous...Angkor Wat at sunrise! Only a week into your travels and you get to experience something so amazing :) I hope it was incredible, even if you did have to get up at such an unreasonable hour! And I hope you are learning as you go Jode, you never know what you might pick up that could be useful in the quiz ;) Looking forward to the next instalment of Danny and Jody's travels! Take care, love Kate xxx
