| 17th August 2009 Dad | Airport - From: 1 day left..! Kelly, If you are going to Portsmouth (or the south) do you want to be picked up at the airport? If so I need the airport (Heathrow I think), the flight (EK007 I think) , arrival time (0700), and where you are going - home I guess. Let me know by text or email - obviously if I hear nothing by tea time on the 18th then you're happy to make your own way or are going to London with Alex. No worries either way. Love Dad xxx |
| 17th August 2009 Dad | See you soon - From: 1 day left..! Hey guys, was that really 7 weeks? It went so quickly. Travel safely and see you soon. btw - the sun came out yesterday....... that's summer over! Love Dad xxx |

| 10th August 2009 Dad | Alex the monk - From: Monks...so wise Hi guys - thanks for the update, glad Alex is feeling better. Looking forward to seeing some more pic-ies. I think Alex is obviously a closet monk (photo!) as he is slowly morphing into one.. Look out if he buys something orange or, god forbid, has a short hair cut! Enjoy the last week. love dad/russ xxx |
| 6th August 2009 Sophie | haHA - From: Entering the Lost World... I was right!, mum was pronouncing it louse, but I said it as it rhymes with ow. It was L'occitane all over again. :O Sounds like you are having a good time, mum was worried you were in that airplane crash in thailand, but I told here you were in Vietnam. I'm sure you won't die of septicemia, though. :) I'm in Kent, looking after Owen, and its really sunny, though not as sunny as where you are I'm guessing. Love you lots Sophie |
| 6th August 2009 G Tuppen | Thank you - From: Entering the Lost World... Dear Kelly and Alex, Thank you so much for your Birthday greetings it was very good of you to remember me from so far away. It must be the furthest I have had a birthday wish from!!.I expect you will be doing S.E. Asian cooking when you get home,you might want to bring back some ingredient back that is not available in the U.K. Keep enjoying yourselves and we hope the stomach and manflue are in recovery!!!! Lots of love Grandma, Grandpa and Nell xxxxx |
| 6th August 2009 Dad | Flu...and stuff - From: Entering the Lost World... Hi guys, glad that all is well. Your writings are still painting a wonderful picture - anyone would think Kelly was an English scholar!! I am pleased that you are finding Laos enjoyable as my own (oviously wrong) idea was that it was going to be the low part of your trip. Poor man flu Alex - please keep the flu in Laos as I have yet to catch it although the rate of swine flu in UK seems to be going up fast. On your trip back to the UK you need to be very careful of those that sneeze (ho ho) etc. Catch-it, Bin-it, Kill-it is the strap-phrase. Use tissues and antiseptic hand wash. ........And that's the end of the Gov.UK advert.... Keep enjoying yourselves - I assume the money issue has been sorted as you've not said anyting to me. Lots of love Dad/Russ xxx |
| 2nd August 2009 George Tuppen | Cut belly - From: Ha-Long bay and the endangered Panda-Eyed Kelly Dear Kelly and Alex, Whose belly has been cut? not quite sure who!!! Have you had anti tetanus jabs? If you can buy some antibiotic cream from the equivalent of their chemists. If the cut occurred in salt water it might not be too bad. As usual your blog was wonderful we could almost imagine being on the kayaks with you!!!! Take care of yourselve and enjoy yourselves. Lots of love Grandma and Grandpaxxxxxxx |
| 1st August 2009 Chris Martin-Sims | memories of Vietnam - From: Do you like Pina Coladas? Dear Kelly and Alex, Enjoyed reading and looking at your journey through Vietnam - reminded me of a trip I made in 1997 when we went up to the Chinese border, climbed Fansipoo then traveled south from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City - also went to NaTrang and Hue - if you go south to Ho Chi Minh then do look up the tunnels - you can crawl underground to get a fell for how the Viet-Cong fought the Americans. Went with mum to look at Clifton College last week - very impressive and Kelly, I gather you did really well in your second year exams - well done. Take care and I look forward to seeing more pictures when you get back... Regards Chris |

| 21st July 2009 Sophie Tuppen | hi - From: To the Heart of Darkness... (A journey down the Mekong) oooh. I haven't checked your blog for a while. The Killing fields sounded very moving. Hope the journey goes well, and keep reporting your adventure. :) Sophie xx |
| 20th July 2009 Dad | Hols - From: We have another homestay! Hi guys,just to say I'm on the road for a week and might not be able to communicate - but there are lots of people looking after you! take care x x x |
| 18th July 2009 Dad | Top Gear - From: Who Wants to be a Millionaire?! (In Vietnam) I thought the Killing Fields would be haunting. I am reading a book from WW2 about the Japanese - very similar behaviour when it came to the respect of otherhumans. The politics were obviously very different though. Remember the top gear programme with the motor bike (more moped than bike) trip across Vietnam? Just like your description. Rick Stein was doing mainly shrimps - lots of shrimps. But talking of catfish a 12 year old English girl on holiday in I think Spain, has hooked a world record 165lb (or there abouts) catfish from a river. It was longer than she was tall and her Dad had to come to her rescue to stop her being pulled in the river! All for now - look after the Dong xxx |
| 17th July 2009 Granndpa | Brilliant - From: OOH LA LA OHTOMO Dear K & A We have been watching Rick Stein, the Cornish chef, he has just started a series on southeast asian cooking. He visited several of the places you have been to on your previous blogs, including the large temple in front of which you had your photo taken, so we sat back and said "Oh look, we've seen this on K & As blog all very smug Alex seems to be suffering a bit on the travelling part!!!! Like you we have had and are having some very heavy rain and strong winds, not at all like summer. Keep the blogs coming, they are GREAAT said Tony the Tiger!!!! Los of love Grandma, Grandpa and NellXXXXXXX |
| 17th July 2009 Dad | Rick Stein was there..... - From: OOH LA LA OHTOMO Hi guys, still sounds fantastic. I guess Alex never rode the tube enough in London rush hour to make a comparision with the Cambodian buses - hot, sweaty, dirty, rickety, over-full with an underlying perception of menace and personal danger.............. Switched the tv on last night and where was Rick Stein? - by the floating village in Cambodia cooking some fish! So saw some excellent footage that reinforces your ever discriptive blogs. Enjoy stage 2 and Vietnam - the history interests me so you'll be grilled (figuratively) on return! Love Dad/Russ xxxx |

| 14th July 2009 Dad | Yuk spiders - From: Oh We Do Like To Be Beside The Seaside... very brave - don't think I could have done that - yuk. I hate big spiders. When you speak of currency is that baht or US dollar? Stay safe and enjoy. Love dad xxxxxxxx |
| 11th July 2009 Dad | Woooow - From: Temples, a Village on Stilts and Sticky Rice Is that how you spell wooooooooooow? Whoa not wow? Uh I dunno! Anyway, great blog, the funniest so far. Just how does that bloke walk on water? Very clever these orientals....... The temple at Angkor looks just stunning, so much history, drama and mystique. Think of the stories it could tell. How are your own bug bites? And how did the other person's get infected? Motherhood and apple pie time - now you just take care and wash behind your ears and keep your bug bites clean lol Thinking of you both often - get the most out of your life experience, I remain envious as ever!! Love Dad/Russ xxxxxxxxxx |
| 10th July 2009 Sophie Tuppen | :O - From: Temples, a Village on Stilts and Sticky Rice Wow >.< I'm so jealous. The photos are cool, good to see you managed to get hold of a camera wire thing. It looks and sounds amazing. Have fun. Don't get diseased. and keep my backpack safe. ( and yourselves of course) P.S. If you can't find a miniature buddha statue, you could always get me harem pants :) missing you |
| 9th July 2009 Dad | Look forward to the story - From: Alive and Well in Cambodia! Hi K and A, Cambodia sounds beautiful. In 1983 I went to Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei. Thailand was amazing and we went up-country in a dodgy dug-out canoe cum spped boat thing to visit the real "bridge over the river Kwai." The jungle and countryside were beautiful then - I expect it may be a bit more commercialsed now! Anyway keep the stories coming, we love your senses oh humour! Keep popping the pills! Love Dad/Russell xxxx |
