Thank you for all your messages its good to hear from you all!! we are trying really hard to get photos but the thai computers dont seem to like my camera!! today we planned on going to a market nice and early but were attacked by tuk tuk drivers and convinced to do a short tour of the tourist attractions in the area for a very cheap fee before the market opened. the tour consisted of two temples, and two suit shops. we thought we sould just talk our way out and get to the market, but then it happened..... Joe bought a suit!!!

after spending a hundred odd quid daniela had to remind me of our budget when i was offered a shirt (for 25 pound) and free tie! its very nice by the way(by the way family you will have to sign for it at some point).

We discovered our hotel rooftop pool today; it was far from the algaefied hole we thought we'd find, we had a nice cold(!) dip. AND, AND! today the sun came out!! wayy!

We fly to cairns tomorrow, be a bit long; a four hour stop in singapore and a total of 12hrs flying time also but i'm sure it'll be worth the wait!

Hope everything back in ye old' England is goood (and wales-charlie and tim). We miss you all x x

p.s. I think Joe is missing your laundry service Marian!
