Old french steam engine in Dalat
Hi, Just say that you were not in an old french steam locomotive. That is a japanese steam locomotive C-12 on display in Dalat Train Station. For more information about this japanese steam locomotive: http://www.kurogane-rail.jp/osjnrsl/evt_c12.html For more information about the swiss-made cogwheel steam locomotive in the old time linking Dalat to Thap Cham: http://vnafmamn.com/tracing_shangrila.html Hope that helps!

Angkor in sillouette
I'd say getting up at 4.30am was well worth it... it's magical! I've always been fascinated with Angkor Wat... its beautiful! Once again, fantastic photographs! :)

Vang Vieng
I think there is one club there called something Moon, if I was to put money on it I would say it was called The Full Moon, its on the opposite end of the "runway". Lets just say if its still there its an expeience, inside its as dark as the ace of spades so watch your coins!

hello
Great photos again especially in the kayak. 6 am motivational wake up - ugh - I wondered what had happened to this country when they played the national anthem on the radio on my way into work (forgotten to send Her Maj a birthday card again)

Rice Wine
Yeah I wouldn't drink to much of that stuff, you'll see a lot of the locals walking around literally drinking it straight from the plastic bag its brewed in. You may also notice the same people seem to have painted their eyballs luminous yellow, look harder than Van Damme's shins in kick boxer and would steal the sunglasses from a blind man. Unless Melissa wants to turn into one of those I would stick to the Jam Jars ;). I wanna go back : ((((

Sailing Club
Couple of points on the old Trang. Krazy Kims does a mean burger and you can borrow the hats for free. Don't try and ride one of the cyclos on your own fast as they are liable to topple and the owners who have used their life savings don't take to kindly to it (however its probably safer than tuk tuk surfing in Bangkok). After hours go to the Sailing Club and drink Jam Jar cocktails (paint striper and orange), if you can drink more than three and remember how you got home you've done well! PS - enjoy the beach and Migs

Hello
This sounds like a really interesting place. I am interested in all the different religions - covering all your bases sounds like a good idea! Seems Gareth had a narrow escape from the Barber of Saigon...

Hello!
Hello, you intrepid explorers :o) Just a quick one to say thanks for the postcard, and the regular blog updates - I'm really enjoying keeping up with you on your travels! Hope Mel's better now. I'm jealous you got to see monkeys! It was also interesting to hear all about Saigon, having worked on "Miss Saigon" once upon a time ;o) Take care, and keep posting! Laura xx PS. I want to try the coconut sweets now...

Hi
Hi Gareth, I'm happy you are enjoying your holidays! I have just returned from mines so I haven't been able to go through all your experiences. I was now reading your days in Saigon. We only stayed in Hanoi and we went to Halong Bay. That was probably enough for me, considering I'm pregnant. It was not easy for us finding somewhere safe to eat, but we managed quite well. The horns, motorbikes and the people eating in the pavement was pretty amazing. I can see you are experiencing the same in Saigon. Not sure if you have already visited Hanoi. The poppet theatre is not bad. Happy to hear you are enjoying your holidays! Roma

re: Got round to it at last!!!!!!!
Hi Viv-just to point out we only stayed in the Penthouse for 1 night and it was free! Gaz says dog is delicious he has it every night-with a little garlic and chilli. Special variety in Malaysia is ridgeback! Well done on the wedding diet-have you been dress shopping yet? Ps- Who said you were getting a present!?! What do you want anyway?

Hi guys, sounds like you're having a fab time. Out of curiosity have you seen any restaurants that sell dog yet? Thought you were planning on roughing it. Who are you 2? Since when was a penthouse classed as roughing it?????? Totally agree with Gabby re: Gareth taking up writing, how much time and effort has this taken? I'm not sure I'd even send an email, let alone a full on travel blog. I'm seriously impressed. Whose taken all the pics? Very impressive, some look like they were taken for a David Attenborough (how do you spell his last name???) show. Anyhow, going to sod off now and have a glass of wine. Started my wedding diet at last - lost 4lbs in my 1st week. In case your wondering what spurred me on it was after Grandad thought he was complementing me by saying I'd got fatter and looked better for it!!!! not what a gal wants to hear. Good on you gramps for kick starting the diet!!! Take care and continue enjoying. Don't forget my pressie (not dog stew please!) Viv
