wish I had been there
What fantastic photos Rosie!1 Trust the alpha male who is hyper and then sulks to been called Tom!!! Their faces were so soulful and the night listening to the jungle must have been awesome! Can't wait to be 'trapped ' in front of the photo show at Christmas. But forgoodness sake, stay out of harm till you get back safely on Friday. Love Penny

Ear versus knee
I had tropical knee infection of the ear - got to be more painful - you had lovely Thai nurses caring for you - I had your Dad-nuff said.

Glad to hear the ear is on the mend mum, sounded really horrible. (probably not as bad as a tropical knee infection though, reakon that would be much worse).

"Never seen this before", says the doctor
Yes, isn't that just the very last position you wish to find yourself in: the protagonist in a medical freak story. Smiths/Phillimores and weird tropical bugs...

Shortest summary of Indonesian cuisine
"Rice with bits soaked in volcanic strength chili sauce". Both Eveline - who loves spicy grub - and I - my attitude is more one of awe and respect - agree. Selamat makan!

Mystery man
Actually the mystery man is doing research at Griffith University, not Sydney, but is indeed investigating a bacterium that might have been responsible for Rob's infection. More clues: I left Parklands when I was about 10 in 1978. It was one of those bizzarre coincindences. I'd been at a conference in Khon Kaen (on the very bacterium that might have been the culprit in Rob's infection), and had a very pleasant chat on the plane to Bangkok with Rose. "So where are you from, Rose" "Near Oxford" "Anywhere near Witney?" "Yes, a village between Oxford and Witney" "Freeland ?" Rose says: "How do YOU know about Freeland?" and so started a discussion about which families are still there, and who might remember me. For those who do know who the mystery man is, he now lives in Australia (Gold Coast), married with 3 boys aged 5, 4 and 2.

Great pics and commentary! Thank you!
I saw your Mum last week at Madley Park and she seemed very happy indeed. When I said I lived in Blenheim Lane, she chuckled and said she would never want to live there as it was too much like hard work looking after and babysitting all the children... she claerly felt sorry for me living there, and smiled sympathetically at me, shaking her head, and repeating "oh no, I'd never want to live there!" :o) She looked very happy Rosie without any anxiety.

Dear Rosie, I was so pleased to see that you were keeping up the Memshib standards in the colonies!! good to see Tony as madly positive as ever and the whole gang of people together. can´t think what is happening with the weathre as Ecuador has been washed out and in a national state of emmergency all February. Even Galapagos was extra wet for the season! I think from this that you must be back in the Uk, very brave. I am not ready for the cold yet.

Superb photos
What an adventure, Rosemary! Trust you are now safely back home. Loved the orang utans - not as scary as gorillas. Best wishes - Rhonda
