Blimey... We have done so much since we last wrote stuff down that if you are going to read all this i suggest that first of all you go into the kitchen and make yourself a nice big steaming cup of tea and possibly get a couple of biscuites, maybe some nuts or my personal favorite some pork scratchings. Then come back.
We left Mui Ne seems like ages ago now but not before lucy had manages to smash every thing in the bungalow she could get her hands ok (i was later to find out this would be a reoccuring theme) and to are absolute delight we didnt have to get a a night bus or crawl 30 miles down a sewer system it was just a 5 hour bus journey. Ho-ching-ming City was as mental as Hanoi for traffic there is no possibly way i can describe to you the roads in vietnam unless you have been there. I tried to photo it but it just dosent show how crazy it is. It looks like everybody is 1 second away from a horrific crash where nearly everybody is going to looses at least 2 limbs ALL THE TIME. It make you feel nerviouse just looking at it let alone trying to actually cross it. We did however manage to get out! we spent our first day teaching vietnamesse students english. This was hard work and made your throat very dry. I had frogs again for tea.
On the second day I went to the war museam fromal known as the museam of american and chinese war crimes, they dont mince there words in vietnam... it was horrific but interesting. Lucy decided she would rather not know so stayed in bed instead. We also went to the modernt palace where they drove tanks through the walls when they won the war.
We left HCMC on tues evening and flew into KUALA LUMPER with no money no where to stay and no idea what money they were using. But we soon got sorted and were wisked off into the night. Kuala lumper came as a little bit of a shock... its so modern every building is massive everything seems to have been built after 1992?
....We did more in KULA LUMPER!!! but i was knackered the other day so i left it out.
We went on a bus trip round the whole city and went up the telecomunication tower 4th tallerst in the world. Then we went to a park which was really hot and to a musean that was really cold (that was the main reason for going to the museaun not to see the exibits) then i found out the hard way why you dont chew your malaria tablets or lie down aftertaking them when i burped up the dust from inside them! It melted my esophagus causing grat pain and even greater moaning for the trest of the day.
The next day we went up the petrolis twin towers, and then had a Orange breakfast i think theres a photo. We didnt get out much in the eveniong in KUla Lumper because we couldnt really afford to but luckerly we had a TELEVISON in out room so we managed to watch lots of piearce brosman wich was excelent and quite refreshing!
We left kuala lumper friday at 7.30am and finaly arrived after loads of sweating and bus, coach, airoplane and train changes on an island on the south coast of thailand at 6pm. We decided to stay the night at a place called time for lime which turned out to be an animal sanctuary? with 20 dogs 1million cats and a monkey. In the evening the place looked lovley.... only it looked different in the morning the beach was littered with rubbish we couldnt swim in the sea beacuse of the jelly fish and nothing was open because it was low season. So we decided to escape... and after spendind a mere 17 hours there we legged it only to spend the next 21 hours on mini wans, coaches overnight boats and finaly a 3 mile hike to finaly arrive on Koh samui on the other side of the thailand. We did however spend are time waiting for the ferry playing cards with little thai children, they didnt quite get the concept of snap but it was funny anyway!
So now were here and your partially updated im going to sleep.
bye
lots of love rob and lucy
