At last! Hi there guys,great to have things back on track and you have not disapointed with this blog, I dont like to laugh at peoples mis-fortunes but I new what would happen when you started on about the bikes,as I was reading, in my mind I was saying "no, dont do it!" but you did. More great pictures,and a very entertaining half an hours reading for me as Den and Max are watching the footy.
Take care, speak soon, Seatons X X X X X.
where are you guys? Er hello there, is anyone there? missing the blogs guys its nearly been a month since the last one and I am getting withdrawal symptoms! I have to read all the old blogs to get a fix. Thanks for the lovely card and pepper,now I can think of you both when Im cooking. It would be great to see you guys on Skype , but I dont think you will get a good reception in the middle of the Borneo jungle, so when you are in a good reception area we are nearly always online to see and talk to you guys. Lots of hugs and kisses The Seatons. x x x x x
Hey guys, hope all is well with you. iv been hearing lots of great things from sue about you adventures. LOVE LOVE LOVE the photos, particularly the tiger ones. send one to me!!!
Everyone misses you. Last night you missed out on a tasty sunday dinner at my house, and one of melanies delicious cakes (cherry pie with lemon and cinnamon, just in case you wanted to know!).
Take care, lots of love from roch and the belnavis crew x x x x x x x x x x x
xxx Hello my lovelys, Its nice to finally see the photos after hearing about this so long ago! We are missing you both ever so much you know! Really hope to speak soon, it feels like forever! Love you fookers!!!! Miss you, Big hugs and all things lovely! xxxxxx
alreet maeeete. Really refreshing to here about your travels guys, i'm guessin your probably in Cambodia now? Pictures are unreal, your almost as good as us, keep practicing! hope you've both got iron stomachs now after your bouts of food poisoning - but if you keep eating KFC they'll have to roll you back on to the plane! ahahahahahahaahahahahahaha. All is well here, we're fresh back from a long weekend in Prague, we'll send you some of our pics, we saw tigers but not as many as that, although they did let us ride them through the snow. try and catch you guys on skype sometime soon. Take care and have fun! Love Hannah and Will. xxx
The Doolittles hit town Sam, I knew how ill you had been but the blow-by-blow account brings home how horrible it was. You looked amazingly well when we spoke the other day. Incredible wildlife - I don't mean you, Dan - bothered by insects but frolicking with tigers. Amazing pics. Speak to you soon. Loads of love to you both. Dadxxx
hi there Hi there guys fabulous pictures of your new pets,Jazzy just loves them and Theo wants his own lion or tiger so he is really envious of you both. Glad to see you both looking so well, still missing you both loads though. Jazzy sends kisses and hugs xoxoxo, Max has dragged himself away from his fifa 10 to say hello, and Theo just wants to be there,not with you guys but the tigers! Loved reading your new blog take care speak soon, The Seatons X X X X X.
Hallo you two. Myself and Auntie Elisabeth have been in absolute awe of your trip - you seem to be having the time of your lives and we're really envious - especially as we're stuck under about eight feet of snow here at the moment. We went up to sunny Acock's Green the Sunday after Christmas and did much sharing of presents - still ploughing our way through the cheese - and said hallo to the family. Anyway, keep up the good work - we feel we know a huge amount about Thailand after reading your stuff, especially how not to get ripped off! And the photos are amazing...
Love from John and Lis xxx
easy now hey guys, this is one of the best entries so far i think, some amazing pictures, your getting close to being as good as me, but you've still got a while to go yet ;) man, perhaps when you get back you could make a tv show called 'the real thai hustle' help travellers to know what to avoid, what a bastard ey?! another story tho is the way to look at it. All is well this side of the world, snow was thick but is now just mushy and dangerously icy. back in bristol now gotta get work done before i jet of to sunny sunny prague on the 15th! Not quite the same scale as your trip, only goin for 3 days but me and Han are excited anyway. Still don't know if mom has received a new modem yet so you still might struggle talking to those guys. Hope all is well, i'm guessin your still in Vietnam now?? Take care of each other and i'll speak with you soon.

Happy New Year Hi there guys, great to have the blog up and running again to see what mischief you and your mates are getting up to. Hope you had a good christmas and new year, we did here, it was quiet though. Lovely photos Dan , its great to see you guys and talk to you both on the skype, Jazzy just gets so excited if she is in the computer and you call. The snow here is bringing the country to a standstill, temperatures of -21 recorded last night so just think of us all back home when you are lying on a beach somewhere. Kids have been sledging a couple of times but fed up of the cold now so we just want it to go so we can get back to a normal winter! time for me to go now, speak soon on the skype,take care, love you both. x x
The Seatons.
It's snowing here Hi Dan and Sam it was lovely seeing you on Christmas day. Happy new year. Your christmas cards and messages will be kept treasures. We all had a wonderful christmas at nans and Grandads, and Elisabeth and John came to visit the day after boxing day. We all went to Mark's on New years eve and had a well behavioured party. We are all well here and Taya is still palnning the great escape out of the back garden. Tom was going to take Wills back to Bristol today but the weather was to bad to risk travelling. Will be in touch when we get the modem working at home. Must go now as we can leave work at 4.00.
Love you both. Mumxxxxxxxxx
Just been driving 5-6 hours through vile winter...you jammy buggers! Just caught up with the last couple of blogs - I know that Sam had some digestive explosions, but apart from that what strikes me is how radiantly well you look, despite the unpredictable diet and the far more predictable volumes of booze. Hope you keep having a fantastic time. Have had to drive through dodgy weather in Yorkshire today (generally forwards, speed from 0 to 10 for a lot of the way). Worst car to drive was clearly BMWs - whatever else they're good at, getting up and down frozen hills in the snow ain't it). Serious stuff earlier in the week - went to the funeral of an old mate from college. Bloody upsetting. Will write you soon - Skype in hand. Christmas present as below BUT it won't be until next year, in a couple of parts - hope that's OK. Love and miss you both. Dad. xxx
back on track Hi there guys, glad to see the blog is back we have missed it. It was lovely to see you both on the skype last week , next time we will get Theo to say hello, he was not very impressed that we had spoken and he was only up in his room. Sam, Olly came second, Joe came first in X-Factor, the best man did win this time. I got a free christmas tree from Selfridges this morning, BRMB were giving them away so I got a five foot real tree, dont know where its going but hey-ho! or should that be Ho Ho Ho. Anyway guys keep the blogs and the great photos coming, may I be one of the first to wish you all a Merry Christmas, Love you loads.XXXXX the Seatons
wish i was with you its bloody freezin here hi both good to see your both carrying on with your shenanigans and your having a wonderful time. we've just been watching rick stein and how to cook sri lankan curry, vietnamese turkey salad and some other stuff thats inspired by the places you've been to or going. somehow though i don't think you'll be eating these with turkey in them. Matts mouth was watering. you've missed it all today its been bloody freezing and snowing and we picked tonight to go the german market. we did have noodles with thai green curry bit random considering its meant to be german.
i'm now cooking a load of cakes whilst drinking an alcoholic ginger beer its well nice. matts watching enter the dragon i'm sure he's meant to be asian with his love of chilli's and kung fu.
i'm buying a webcam on saturday so we can talk to you i'll drop you a message when its set up.
love you loads
