Dad …thought you guys…where having to much fun to write your blog..and I was busy busy at work..so sorry it's late guys. Anyway it's my last entry as I know your home now albeit we have not spoke to you yet…But I would imagine you are busy busy catching up with everyone..telling them all some wonderful stories. Your 6 hour coach trip to sapa …was not something I would have liked but I suppose for a couple of hardened travellers like you…. It was a piece of cake, and sounded well worth it. And it Sounds like your well past your sell by date Katie.. If getting married a 21 is old …lol And the how sad… That a simple broken leg without the after care can result in a permanent limp… How lucky we are… It made me giggle when you said, they passed Daves fag around like a spliff…… The overnight boat trip to Halong bay to the cave sounded awesome.. Especially as you said it's one of the 7 wonders of the world..you said you have been to 2…Katie , What was the other one…bluewater?? Lol.. Can't wait to try your crab thingys…oh and the spring rolls you said you made on the boat…!! munch I have seen a program about a floating village… But being there must have been an eye opener….on to nha trang…the sleeper train must have been weird..and all that snoring!!..Dave must have kept the whole I thought I was the only one that got up a 5 ..and did exercise and swam..must be catching on…. The lanterns on the river look beautiful.. I expect you light them for a wish ? ..I am really amazed you could not haggle in the market..but I had no doubt ..dodgy Dave would be able to cut some sort of deal..so you got a bargain..lol The food market looked really cool..and looks a bit of me.. Wow!!!! What stunning views from the hotel.. I assume you used the stairs to the 29th floor for exercise everyday…lol….. No don't tell me…Dave carried you up…X Well done Dave on your Diving.. chuffed for you I now have a Buddy.... Lol But naughty .. Taking only Russians on the tours…probably because they have all the money….blooming..ollygarts…or whatever there called…crooks I call them oh..and we probably do not tip as well. Looks like you have some free accommodation in Australia….must be your overwhelming personalities all these invites Dave locking the bloke loo…absolute classic

I bet that was so sad seeing all of that , oh well must go some of us have work to do lol !! Can't believe how well you both look miss you both

Dad Hi To both… Just caught up with your blog…and most of the 800 odd photos…..anyone would think you have nothing else to do but sit around in the sun all day Just back from my traveling adventure of Barcelona…not quite on the scale of yours...but very nice … highly recommended .. Manilla sounded just as you expected..maybe not quite as bad as you thought.you pretty much summed it up by going to the cinema…mind you that film sounds a load of c##p.. Batmanvsuperman...what will they think of next..plus the thought of watching it in what basically must have been , like sitting in a freezer…brrrr!!!..does not sound like fun at all.. Real b*****..about the double booked flights…arghh!!!! Frustrating..keep on it ..they must be able to sort something out for you..I did the same with Barcelona stadium tickets..mind you …I was able to sell them when I got there at…a small loss…. On to Japan...That sounds soooo much better and sounds like another must see… Loving the jacket….they should have sold them on the entrance to the cinema in Manilla ..lolsounds like you flashpackers are getting to used to all that hot weather …. Must have been a real b*****…everything in Japan being in Japanese !!! Lol as you say it's all part of the fun and experience..the heated toilet seats have given me idea for here… Iced toilet seats..to get Tom off the loo…the amount of time Tom spends on the loo you would think we had heated seats …..noted about the horrible tasting tea…you should have asked if they had any PG tips .. You must have done the wipe off…wipe on..routine few times with Mr miagi on your tour...shame you did not find any ninjas…maybe next time… Who did the map reading ..when you went round in a circle !!!or was it a joint effort. From the photos though....looks pretty much as you would imagine in the towns. I Did not know the gaming was illegal …..but I know there crazy mad for it…but there efficiency sounds like something we should try and emulate. On to Cambodia … with the FLASHPACKERS….love it Seems like I am on this journey with you while reading your blogs….loving them..lol I wish. First of all after looking at the photos …what an awesome place and a Defo place I would love to see… And That POL POT… Fellow..sounds like he should have been called.CRACK POT..to put it mildly..complete nutter..and nasty piece of work … Read the the blog you posted on CRACK POTS rise and downfall ...shame he had an heart attack… ..should have been tortured …very very interesting it must have been a real experience actually being there , although probably quite sad… And very humbling… Finally going back to ALL the photos … I did manage to look at all of them they are in the memory bank somewhere… But with so many you do get a real idea of what it must be like ..and what you have been doing..and the food looks to die for ..the fish especially.. the ugly one with the teeth look ..yum..but it did make me think, that thing could be swimming around around your feet while paddling…and that thing bites.. would Defo..be counting my toes regularly !! ,, Love laughing at my own jokes That's about it..love and miss ya both hugs&xxxxx
