Peter & Susan Hi Sophie, Good to see your latest blog. You are having an amazing time. Susan away on her charity trek in Costa Rica at the moment-rainy season so she is getting very wet. She comes back Sunday. You take care on your travels. Love the photos too. Love Peter&Susan

Carly Wow, it brings back so many amazing memories reading your blog- we did pretty much the same route. Have a fab time on the party islands and you HAVE to do a dive from Koh Tao, I thought it was better than the Great Barrier Reef and you'll only regret it if you don't!! Take care and enjoy the full moon party. Lots of love Cxx

Ted & Mary Hi Sophie The adventure has really begun !Appears you are having a great time and enjoying yourself. Nice to see so many photos especially the water sport ones. You are still a bit of a swinger ! Look forward to seeing Vietnam Love Ted & Mary xxxx

Mum Hope you're enjoying Laos and french indo china. We've just today returned from France and stocked up on some wine for your return!. Hope you get some sun soon, the news here mentioned the rain storms in Thailand and Cambodia. There are some great shots in the last bunch of photos - specially the baby pigs, a serene one of you praying and also saying goodbye to the children. All our love Dad and Mum xx

Carly Hey Sophs Wow, sounds like you're having an amazing time and meeting lots of people along the way! We didn't make it to Luang Prabang and went South to Si Phan Don instead, but I heard it's amazing - am very jealous! All's well here, I had my 12 week scan and the baby is moving around alot! I'm busy starting a new business at the coast before we move to Windhoek, plus we've started looking at properties in Windhoek so hopefully by the time you get here we'll have somewhere to live - all in all, busy times! Take care of yourself and have lots of fun. Your biggest sis xx

Phil and Ann Hi Sophie, Looks like you are having a great time and now settled into the adventure. I did laugh at your comments about the piglets all in one crate no bigger than a chest... I suppose it depends on the size of the chest.. and who it belongs to! I hope you have been keeping up with the rugby, poor Namibia got a bit of lesson from South Africa. I remember being on the end of a similar score line at school, not fun, hopefully the matches this weekend will be closer. I look forward to reading your next blog and catching up with the photos. Keep smiling. Every Blessing Phil and Ann

Peter & Susan Hi Sophie, Its great to be able to travel with you. It really does take me back. Chiang Mai is very interesting. I found it quite different to further south. Perhaps a bit more backpack friendly now. Have a fab time. Love Susan and Peter
