Both looking good on tour - make sure you DO try Thai food otherwise you're just a Brit Abroad and not a proper Adventurer! The curry's are quite hot but the sea food and fresh fruit will be good for you! I built a pation last weekend whilst watching the world cup and getting a tan! The heat wave has been and gone and today it's quite chilly - weekend's supposed to be hotting up again! I'm loving the world cup but missing all my little student friends ;o( keep the faith! x x Hadge

Hi Fluer and buddy, It was so good to read about your first experiences on your "fantastic voyage" it looks to me like you are both gonna have a brilliant time.
So it is smelly and the tuk tuk was not to your liking.. oh well cant always be as good as we hope lol, have you tried the drinks out there yet (let me know if you get drunk lol) you should really give the food a go, I am sure you can find something that suits your tatse and I bet you would thoroughly enjoy it.
I wanna join you already and see some of the sights you have seen, it sounds great and makes me want to get a passport now and start my own world tour.
Chin up girls and I will wait for the next update with my fingers crossed that you have a equally or better time.

Love ya loads ya mad fools... Mick xx

Thanks for the message Kate O... I hear Paddy made the journey successfully :-) Hope your first day at your new job went well Miss Oldham! Can't wait to come and visit in October :-)
Glad my hair straighteners are doing their job... I miss them :-( I have a typical camp F hairdo... Plaited bunches (only way to stop the frizz, although Fleur is thinking of getting hers braided tonight... less hassle!)
Love to you and Dave xxx cya soon xxx

To Fleur (and friend),
well, what started out as a traveling adventure for me, turned into living in Sydney permanently when bloody boyfriend got himself a serious job and decided he never wanted to go home. But the good news for you guys, is that since settling in Sydney I shed the scabby backpacker image, and now have all the luxuries of home (including numerous pairs of jeans and hair straighteners). So when you stop in Sydney, feel free to borrow/use whatever you like. Cant wait to see you, loads of love your wise old cousin (or Hannah) xxx.

How rude I hadnt finished and it went and posted the message! Anyway, Dave and I are all ready for our own adventure-Paddy is so crammed full of stuff I'm not sure he will actually move tomorrow! We're really excited, especially Dave who is leaving mega early in the morning so he can go surfing!Kids hey? Anyway girlies, hope you're having an awesome time, get in touch soon. We miss you!! Lots of northern love, Katie xxxxxx P.S My hair is looking fabolously straight-thankyou! Mwah xx

Hey Karen!!

I hope you managed to get a few hours kip on the plane and that you landed in bangkok ok..........only when i looked at the map in your house YESTERDAY did i realise that Bangkok is in Thailand!Another blonde moment from Kate O! So, it seems your trip will benefit my geography!

Rach you cheeky little monkey ;-) I don't shop all that much... I have calmed down since our Bournemouth days... honestly! Can you believe this though... I only have one pair of jeans packed... this could be tougher than I thought! Setting off in two days... wooooooo... Be in touch from Thailand! :-) lots of love xx
