Hi Girls,
Am so glad you are enjoying Laos. I am quite surprised with it's lack of beaches. I am so glad you are not in Thailand and I must stop watching the TV programme Big Trouble in Bangkok. Glad you had a good time with Ben, believe he is on holiday in South Africa now.He's got life sorted!!

Glad you all arrived ok and that the hostel is fine. The weather will suit you all I'm sure- it was quite warm here today too!!
There is more trouble than ever in Bangkok so Laos is obviously the place to be. Quite fancy visiting it myself now too.
I didn't realise that Auntie Wend had a chicken called Gordy- she kept that quiet- does Gran know??
And Alexander- I'm no geek!! Cheeky rascal- wait till I get you home.
Take care Girls- love to you all!!

Hello Girls, Hope all is well with you and you have arrived safely in Laos- am now pronouncing it correctly (without the 's') !!.
There are lots of problems in Thailand so we're all glad you're not staying there (except for the airport, or course.)
Hope the journey wasn't too arduous and Jess- hope you had a really great birthday!!- I'm sure you weren't inebriated!!- any of you.
Love to you all!! Take care and look after each other.
