Paula Hiya Glad to catch up on whats been going on during your adventure. The photos are amazing. You both look and sound like you are having a great time. TJ I know how you love a tan so I am sure you are impressed with your tan as you have had long enough to work on it!! The time is coming for you both to return home, you have great memories and stories all of which we cant wait to hear. Looking forward to seeing you both soon take care till then. Love Paula PS. Yes you will have to wrap up on your way home, we had snow last week and more expected next week. If you could bottle up some sunshine to bring home that would be great!

Nicki Hope you two have got your thermals packed! FREEZING is the only word to describe this place at the mo. Your PC arrived this morning which was a lovely surprise. I imagine that you're now both so relaxed. HANG ON TO THAT FEELING! Bristol remains an adventure come and see for yourselves when you're settled back again. really looking forward to hearing all the tales in person. Love N&J

Suzanne TJ, so good and sincere, Would 'tut' when Mark drank too much beer, Then one night in the East, She had an Alcohol Feast, Now she knows what it's like to feel queer!! Sorry, Tejal, just couldn't resist it - don't worry we'll get in extra alcohol for when you next visit!

Ruth Hi hope you ok, your travels are making me jealous. I loved Singapore especially the zoo and bird park. Take care both of you x

Ray Knight I can't believe you would dare to compare the Singapore tube to England's mighty Underground tube network! Nothing wrong with a bit of noise to accompany the ride in to work each day, and at no extra cost!

mike baylis hey guys, Good to hear from u. Glad all's going well. Enjoy the rest and dont rush back for the football. Man u are rubbish at the mo!!! X Ps didnt mean to rate as 1star btw. Of course its 5! Tech issues!

Hazel Hello you two lovely things! So sorry I haven't written on here before - we have had a major virus at school since we started in September which still hasn't been fixed can you believe? Most days we can't even access the teacher's drive!!! Very stressful! I've had a virus on my laptop at home too so haven't had Internet access for ages, just got it fixed. Sounds like you are having an amazing time! Good for you!! Make the most of it! Miss you both! Loads of love, Hazel xxxx

Suzanne Lovely to hear about your final days in Africa and looking forward to reading about Singapore. Missing you both and thinking of you often. We have just come back from our few days in Dubai - beautiful hotel, fantastic weather and we went in the sea every day!!! Let me know your landline number so that we can call you in the next couple of days. Love Mum xxxxx

Brij Hi Guys!! I know I've been rubbish blogging! I actually forgot you went away! Just kiddin! We actually have quite a boring life at the moment - APART from Vaishvi who has us running arond in circles!!! Have noone to take the pee out of. So Mark can you send TJ back for a day just so I can make up for a month of lost abuse!! I am sure when you get back in December she will not stop talking for a whole month and hence, we have allocated a sound-proof room just for you TJ!! Like the Big Brother (or Little Sister-in-law house). A little quarantine let say!! On the serious side - I hope you guys are having fun. Mark - I told you the earplugs would come in useful. Have you started the medications I gave you?? Just slip a couple into her tea and you'll be fine. Don't sday I don't look after you bro!! Sorry - back to the serious side - TJ I hope you are looking after our future brother-in-law! I have lots of golf, beers, football matches etc etc to help him with!! Also, he has a projector screen tele which I have yet to see!! So look after each other and hope you guys are havin fun!! Anyhow, I'm sure you'll have fun when the out-laws arrive Mark!!! We think of you guys everyday and miss you both!! Wish we could be there!! Love Brij

Stephen Andrews Wow, and all that for £35 per night - can't believe it! It is quite amazing that you can sleep on a small boat in the middle of the Indian ocean while Mark pretends to be brave!
