Liz ohmigod you guys are like so slack with your journal! Just arrived in Sihanoukville today and your khmer phrases are serving us well \francesca! We had a permaturd in our loo in Hoi chi Minh so it was like a full circle for Nam. People here are so much friendlier so that is just super. Kaz's boyf Matt landed a surprise visit on us so doing Cambodia with im at present. Can you send us email addresses for the N.Z. boys?! Thank you and take care both x x x

Steve & Jen Well you went on our site so I thought I'd better return the favour. Jen is bloody obsessed with 'Beanie' now and wont stop playing it; even in her sleep. Thanks for nothing guys!!! PS: Your photo's are cool; one of you is obviously a budding photographer... PPS: In Vang Vieng now; loving Loas - Vientiene is sooo chilled out

Sarah aka terence hey guys.. god dammit will you just come home so I dont have to look at any more fantastic pictures of wonderful places I can't be!! nah really hope you are still enjoying it and that leaving vietnam was as good as you thought it would be. your bus journey looks horrific quite frankly! Things here are very very hot and sticky and they would be absolutely blissful if I wasnt stuck at work through the best part of the day.. am going to have to book some time off very sooooon. anyway other than that things here are nowhere near as exciting as they are with you guys.. so have some extra fun for me please :) love to you both xxxxx

Liz n Kaz Hey you guys! Gutted we didn't get to say cheerio to you and the boys too. Feel rude and even have my sewing kit in my pocket for you Francesca! We are just in an internet cafe awaiting our bus out of Hanoi. Great to meet you and spend a few special days in your gang. website is www.getjealous.com/liznkaz if interested Take care

Francesca FORZA ITALIA indeed, its about time we won and what a win! I was actually crying with joy (and also maybe because it was 4.30am and I had had no sleep) I am so happy :-)

Daddy-o FORZA ITALIA !!!!!! ZZ finally blew his top !!

Rick and Claudia Salzar Dear Francesca: WE were talking to your parents this afternoon. Hope you are enjoying your trip. I am sure you are glad that Italy won today. Hope you enjoy the rest of your trip and return home safely. Regards Rick, Claudia and Thomas

Francesca & Mark Hey everyone, we've put loads and loads of new photos on today so go check them out! Only 7 more days left in Vietnam and then its back to Laos. Hope you're all still enjoying the pics and arent bored of the huge amount we've been taking-itsa really hard not to be snapping away all the time!

Sarahrella hey guys.. it is nearly july (therefore nearly payday!!) I cant believe you guys have been away for so long. Saw Ben houston this week and he said to say hi! Am really missing you. I know if you were here you would be making me watch the football, but i miss you anyways! hehe.. wish you were around to talk to.. my boss is a total w**** :) Hope you are having as much fun as I wish I was! love you both, Sarah xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Spazruella hey chickaboo.. bet you and your hair are loving the hot and stickyness :) glad you are having such a great time.. cant wait to hear from you.. my new job is going really well.. will say more another time xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx love you guys xxxx

Francesca Hey everyone, thanks for all the messages, sorry we are not posting many journal entries but the longer we spend away from UK the harder it is to organise ourselves as everything out here is so chilled out! We are leaving to go to Vietnam tomorrow, getting a bus to Saigon so hopefully there will be some more photos soon as we have hardly taken any since Siem Reap. Still really hot and sticky. We've managed to catch most of the football-although it was tough staying up until 4am to see Italy beat Ghana! Hope everyone is well and keep the messages coming, we will try to send another email out when we get to the 'Nam :-) Love F xxxx
