Ruth a new tatt...looks great and loved your summery of why you got it..was it expensive over there to have one? They did use clean needles didnt they, this is the neurotic mother kicking in,sorry..lol...pee'd myself at the pic of you on the loo, how did the crash helmet come into it!?..lmao!! you both look sooo well and happy, lovely to see, hope malaysia is as exciting and beautiful for you!...right now im off to the beach, but gorleston beach unfortunately..lol..but we do have a bouncy castle, does that make you jealous!!??..lol..keep safe but most of all keep smiling round the world!! lotsa luv hugs and squidgy squeezes...mum and the crazy one! xxxxxxxx
trust you guys to be all cultured and adventurous!!!! what happened to just getting drunk and doing karoke and meeting english people ha ha . it all sounds amazing and it looks even better. Glad you are having a fab time - still soooooo jealous. Can't wait to be invited round for thai dinner. Take care me and Twiggy x x x x
Yarko face??!! would love to see Ami's Yarko face, most people seem more amused by the idea of that than the actual trip, which sounded more horrendous than fun! though the idea of Ami fighting over bikes and pulling a Yarko face does sound highly amusing! enjoy yourselves!
Still Lovin' it! Oh my god....I cannot wait to see Ami's "best Yarko Face"!!!??? That just cracked me up!!! That's crazy about all those people still being killed by bombs-my life is so sheltered. Life here is going ok-very warm at the moment so am working on my "yarko tan"! Tac unit did the BB draw when I wasn't in so I didn't manage to get you a housemate-sorry! I think my one is still in it-I haven't been watching this year. Anyway, hope you enjoy more of Thailand and keep on blogging!

Ami Pjs and Ruth what a fantastic blog entry this one is. I had to read it twice to take in everything what you have been upto. All sounds so so so amazing and very moving. Im looking forward to the next entry from Vietnam. Love alice xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx :)
Missing you trillions still Rufus, ami, I have decided that you guys should become authors!!! Your entries really capture the narrative..see wot I did there?!! I remember speaking to a friend about a year ago who'd travelled the world and said that cambodia was her favourite place just like you. And my friend marky lives there now whos also travelled the world! so it alls sounds really moving and incredibally amazing. you guys are ace!!! your volunteering work is cool too bless you both.
Millions of hugs and kisses to you both and all my love and thoughtd amykins x x x x x x x x x
Hey you two, hope that you are both well! Ruth it was so great to chat to you online the other day, and I am going to buy that book on your recommendation.
Love your photos, the sunrise looks totally amazing and Ami looks a natural with all the kids such a lovely pic.
Looking forward to your next entry. love to ya both Hayley xx
what a lovely entry!!!..was very moved by some of the things you girls are seeing! can really tell cambodia is the fave destination so far for you both, its looks amazing, how humble do you feel when you see these places and people and they all still smile and are far more happier than us western people with our life and surroundings!..wot a privelidge for you both to experience such beautiful things! sooo awful about what went on in cambodia and for them to come out of it at the other end and still be grateful for what they have..humbling, really humbling...not the poo's again!! oh no!!..you'l come home really skinny at this rate!..hope your both feeling better now? really loved this entry, keep em coming and keep smiling round the world!..lotsa love mummy xxxxxxxxx
This has passed a boring 20 minutes in the office!! Hello again!
Thought that whilst I was on the site and doing bugger all at work I would read on and I am glad I did! China sounds like such an adventure. It must be so strange not being about to communicate with people. I have a picture in my head of you both trying to mime out shaving foam and I must admit that I can see how they might have got tights (from the foam up the leg motion!?!).
So glad Kate has finally remembered to pass on your travel blog site as it is a welcomed rest from work!
Good to see you are still enjoying it. Look forward to th next instalment - where you off to next? I'll keep a look out for the next one. Han x
Hello girls! Hello!
Wow your blog is amazing. How are you both? Hope you are still soaking up every moment you are away. The photos and the blogs are brilliant. What fun times. Anyway, hope you are well. I look forward to reading more of your tales soon. Take care, Han xx
Its been both of our dreams to travel the world for a long time, and finally that time has arrived! Follow our experiences and keep in touch x... full info
