cochroaches?!!
That is super cool your brother and girlfriend came to visit...is it unlucky that they saw a cochroach or are you folks just getting used to cochroaches?!! Thanks for all the stories and photos...great to hear from you two! Dave's parents are hear from New Brunswick for the week so we spent lots of time drinking beer, wine and eating lots of chocolates!! It is time to see what teams are going to make the playoffs for hockey so lots of games to watch!!

Skype
Come on guys, get up to speed! Skype is dead easy to use and you can phone landlines, mobiles and other skype accounts. The person receiving the call on a landline/mobile has no idea you're not phoning from a traditional phone (hence it would have worked fine with your bank). It is dirt cheap too, in our 6 month trip we put 20 euros credit on ours and came back with credit and I phoned my parents in spain at least once a week for 30 mins+ Go to skype.com to set up and account. All you need is an internet cafe where the a machine has skype installed and a headset with a microphone. There's even a test call you can use to ensure that the sounds is working correctly before you make a call (which is worth doing especially in internet cafes in some more remote parts).

Mind you don't overdo it !!
Glad to see you've decided to do a bit of work at last, pity us poor souls who do it for 39 weeks of the year!! To be fair though it didn't sound an easy task out there, but a good experience all the same. Mum xx

One word - skype!
And.... please tell me you're not going back to India again. WHY????

Lipe Resort
Hey hey. Hasn't Lipe Resort changed! We stayed in the cute, cheap fan rooms with 24 hour electric and giggled every time someone else in a more expensive a/c room complained that their electricity went off at 6am - sometimes there is justice. This time last year we were just setting off : (

Hello again
Thanks for your blog. I love this form of armchair travel. Thanks for sharing and to you John for passing it along. Can I send this school blog to my retired school teacher grammar school friend? Happy travels. Barbara
