Tan and Mick

Actually I'm possibly more of a salmon colour now rather than lobster, no sign of blisters just yet, but there's still time. Well, my plan for this blog was to have a whole heap of interesting pics from our Mekong Delta river tour, aswell as pics from whatever tour we ended up doing on Monday…. Slight change of plans… So, we got sunburnt… I had to take it that one step further and go and get sunstroke, wasn’t happy with just looking like a lobster, decided I also had to act strangely and pass out in a restaurant before I was really satisfied. Apparently severe sunburn and dehydration can make you do embarrassing things. Mick took the opportunity during my split second of unconsciousness to steal my icecream, in amongst showing his concern of course. Although, ... read more

Predictable title I know, but I’ve always wanted a purpose to say that! So, we are in HCMC, actually to be precise I am writing this from the worlds coolest bus, seriously, it’s a sleeper bus so its full of beds instead of seats, we’ve only been on here 10 minutes and mick is already snoring, (apart from the noise) I’m loving this bus. I actually wrote this huge blog last night, stayed up til the wee hours of the morning producing a flat out masterpiece and the damn site crashed as I pressed submit. I was not a happy camper (tanty began to brew) but have calmed down this morning and am determined to make it just as good. So I’ve been trying to come up with one word to sum up this place….busy? well ... read more

Yes thats right, we're on holidays yet again, sooooo addictive, really need to get help, maybe some travel patches or hypnosis is required to make us stop?!?!? naaah! So.... we're back in colourful thailand, this time for a friends wedding in Koh Samui. We stopped over in KL (we love you Air Asia xx) for one night, then proceeded to Phuket for a few days before flying on to Koh Samui where we are right now. We pretty much covered KL in our last blog, so I wont go in to that again, as we almost covered the same footsteps. Come to think of it, we covered the same footsteps in Phuket too....several times over, but I doubt we'll ever tire of those steps. After getting absolutely blind drunk (on $20aud) within an hour of arriving ... read more

In the words of my dear old pop 'this is living man!' The contrasts of this great place have to be seen to be believed, but one thing is for sure (and this is the part that would have impressed old pop the most) there is beer for sale on every corner, in fact its more likely every metre, every corner would be a definite under estimate. Thus this means.....Dad is happy! (and possibly putting on extra weight...hmmm, excess baggage charge coming up??) So anyway, we've spent alot (I mean a LOT) of time relaxing (does eating, swimming, eating, drinking and eating class as relaxing???) We took a speed boat ride to Phi Phi Island, we hired mopeds and managed to tour the island for 2 days without becoming road kill and we have tried the ... read more

Boy, have we got a story for you, kick off your shoes, sit back and relax, this could be very long winded........... Okay, the beginning is as good a place to start as any, so we´ll go with that. Last tuesday we flew from Malta to the Pisa airport and then had a flight to Barcelona. When checking in at malta the rude baggage lady said she could not check our bags in all the way to barcelona even though we were flying with the same carrier, and that we would have to go through security, collect our baggage, check our bags in then go through security again, all within 15 minutes, as our next flight would then be closed for boarding.....are you following me so far?? (we assumed they would transfer our bags, which is ... read more
