Loving Laos

Well a long 2 days down the Mekong. Thankfully there was some breath taking scenery to view. More expensive than we'd anticipated, but hopefully it will get cheaper when we head futher South. Tummy troubles has resolved itself, for now... Enjoying the food, eating A LOT of vegetarian, the food markets are enough to put you off for life! BLOOD, GUTS, HOOVES, HEADS, RODENTS and we haven't even got to Cambodia yet... yikes! Nicole, you would not cope at all, you think its bad enough when Andrew goes hunting and brings home a carcass! Warmer in Laos which is nice. Will miss the train travel in Thailand, you can't read a book on the bus! Read a few books and enjoying the time to be able too!
Tracey - The Book Thief was beautifully written, loved the creative way the author put the story together, and an appropriate time when i read it at Kanchanaburi too, going to war museums etc. Thanks heaps xox
Nicole - Hows the Egypt plans coming?? Read 'Gathering Light' by Jennifer Donnelly, must be her first book, worth the read.
Ginny & Scott - looks like the house is coming along, you 2 working 24-7?
Mum & Dad - booked a really nice place to stay for our wedding anniversary, thanks heaps! Will be total luxury!
Tasha - Yes, you were right, SE ASIA is the best! I look forward to hearing your travels in South America.
Kelly & John - thanks soooo much for getting our luggage to London. You're the best! How was Tiri?
Dave & Christine - Christine, how is your leg healing? Let us know if you 2 will make it to Vietnam in April.
Anwar (travel clinic Dr) - thank you sooo much for the G-whizz recommedation. I think i pee standing up more than i do sitting down... lol
CS19 - have a great start back with Terry. I hope you kept up that reading in the holidays!
My soon to be year 7's - Best of luck on your first day at Intermediate. Its the best! Get involved in heaps of extra-curricular stuff and you'll make heaps of friends.
Michele - good to see you are showing Adrien the country side and getting lots of use out of the tent with the kids.
Ok, must go, water falls and bears to see now.

How come I don't get a special little comment directed just at me???? Lol, just kidding. HAPPY WEDDING ANNIVERSARY!!!! Wishing you both many more years of happiness. Jared and I constantly pass comment on what a wonderful couple you are, how beautifully well-matched you are to each other, and lucky we are to share in a small portion of your sunlight.
