Great update both of you, I hope someone is replacing you at the school to correct Mikes teacher training. Poor guy I expect he is very confused. Just got your text about Thailand, I didn't realise you were living with the local people and their elephant slepted under the house, but I suppose Em you have a place to put MIke if he plays up. Have a great time an keep us up to date.

Glad to hear you arrived safe and sound in Thailand. Had a brief look on the Surin web page. Looks like you are going to be busy. Hows your building skills??? Just printed of the blog for the Lover and Cheltenham followers. Brilliant read. Really glad to managed to check out the elephants. Glad to hear that all those visits to Alderbury were not a total waste of time. I did however think thsat you were being taught English not bulls***!!! Have a great time and hope the transfer's not too bumpy.

Wow great blog guys!! All sounds absolutely incredible, like the most fantastic experience of your lives- something to remember forever. Glad you got to do a bit of travelling too, the pretty hills and the magical Buddha tooth!! Lol, can't wait to see how you think Thailand compares, lots of love xxx

Just thought I would let you all know that we have finally managed to get the blog up and we have also successfully made it to Bangkok. We haven't been to bed for 48 hours but there was way to much shopping to be done and there are a few ladyboys to track down before we can even think about sleep tonight! We are up early again tomorrow to catch our 6 hour bus to Surin. Should be a jolly compared to our journeys in Sri Lanka!! xxx

Hello all. We wanted to get a blog up today but we are in the slowest internet cafe ever in Dambulla on the way back to Colombo. Had the small matter of printing our flght tickets to attend to! Just got to get our passports back now! Hopefully a blog will appear in the next few days. By which tme we will be in Thiland! We shall keep you updated. xxx

Great news from brother Big Ears in Sri Lanka via a trunk call. Mike and Emma are coming to stay and help us. Hope they have big shovel and wheelbarrow. Curry every night so imagine if you can how busy you will be in the morning. Perhaps we can get one of you to assist Dumbo with his party trick. He likes to jump of a very high ladder into a very shallow pool of water. Surprisingly we have no volunteers yet!!!

Looks like great fun guys!
