Woven bamboo
Hi Chloe and Lisa.... where can we get that woven bamboo??? Only kidding! Mind you, dad might say otherwise. Lovely to hear from you again. What a shame about the fact that it was too cold to swim. I can't imagine that in your part of the world. Now, here... that's a different story. We decided not to let the fire burn overnight at the farm last night... big mistake! It's freezing. At least the sun is shining, so we can find a sunny spot in which to thaw. No, it's not really that bad. Mia and Jarrad are leaving Perth about lunchtime, so they will be here late afternoon. Am looking forward to having them here. I hope you get to do the massage course and all the other things you want to achieve while in Chang Mai. the days must seem numbered to you now and I imagine you are trying to complete your 'to do' list, as well as chill with Lisa. vegemite is barking in the background, Chloe. He and trailer are up in the shed with dad. he is a very happy boy but we are looking after his health too.... when Trailer jumps off the ute at the gate, although Vege would like to join him in the run home to the farmhouse, we don't let him, as we figure he is getting plenty of exercise anyway. Yesterday we took them into town to visit Tim and Annet. We walked them to the park with the kids and then on to look at the motel. Keep well and hopefully, keep enjoying all on offer. All my love, Mum

Saturation
Hi my darling. I just sent you an email and then your latest blog arrived in my inbox! It is, as always, lovely to read about your adventures. I am amazed that you continue to take those very long bus rides!!! I am eager to learn what your plans for Africa are, as I am concerned about you travelling there, especially alone. have you actually booked anything, or are you waiting until you return home to do so? I can't wait to give you a big hug and kisses. Hope I won't embarras you at the airport and blubber!!! Continue to have fun. be safe too. Allmy love, Mum

Great. Memories Chloe. You have had a ball and we are all pleased you weren't in the accident x

Hi
Hi Chloe and Lisa, sounds like you are having a ball together!! It must be nice for you Chloe to have a friend there now to do things with , rather than having to join up with people you don't know really well. Have a lovely time together. We're looking forward to getting on the plane in 2 more sleeps to get to Bali..even if only for a week.At least we might thaw out!!! It's been freezing here, with clear blue skies, but only one third of the usual June rain. Bye for now, Marian

Spotlight.....enough said :-)
LOL is just what I did when I read the name of this blog! I can't imagine how excited you are to have Lisa there with you. I hope you two have an amazing time at the Full Moon Party (but not too good that it ends with hair holding :-)) I'm glad you were able to meet her at the airport, Lisa was wondering if you might do that. I have 5 days of school left and I couldn't be more excited....it has been a looooonnnnggg term. I'm so looking forward to seeing you in August...I want to hear everything! Lotsa love xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Go on spoil yourselves!!
Hi Chloe, (and Lisa) hope you have manages to meet up by now and are revelling in some well deserved luxury in Koh Samui. Chloe you'll begin to feel like a million dollars after some pampering and a lovely hotel etc instead of the backpackers you've been staying in!! Have a ball and ....go on spoil yourselves!! Marian

Let the good times roll!
Hello my darling. I am exhausted just reading about all that travel! I can imagine what dad would think!!!! Thank goodness you met some nice 'locals' to hang out with. How did the visit to the day care/school go? I can imagine the excitement building as you anticipate Lisa's arrival. I hope you have a blast together and enjoy that luxury that awaits....you have certainly earned it, as you have been doing it cheap most of the time. I am going to Mandurah on Friday to meet with Joan and Amanda for discussions on our Central American trip... looking forward to that! Take care but live it up!!!! All my love,Mum.

Whoo!
I've got a feeling....whooo! That tonight's gonna be a good good night! Chloe I feel it too, you and Lisa are in for a big celebration; and you deserve it! Live it up you two, I want some good... almost unbelievable stories upon your return. I'll be ther with you in spirit. Love you lots girls xxx Mia

OMG!
Wow, what experiences you are having! Again, I am so proud of you that you can recognise the awe in your surroundings.... and see the positive side of everything. I was worried when I read you had hurt yourself.... but thank goodness it was not too bad. I agree with your comments about how the experience could have been improved, especially the safety aspect. Good to read in your other blog that you had a 'western day'. Sometimes a balance is called for. Love you with all my heart. Mum.

eh leeches
Hey Chloe, an awesome experience even if you did not experience a Gibbon. You must be good with heights. I was sorry to hear of your fall. You were a trooper to pull through and not let it stop you . Those leeches are awful things. As a kid we would swim in a local river each summer and as soon as you got our you checked for them. Hard to imagine that they used to use them for medicinal treatments. You have been having so many wonderful experiences and I am so enjoying reading all your travels. School is report writing (don't miss that do ya?) and it is an 11 week term so needless to say it is busy and long. We miss your sunny smile. Keep happy and enjoy yourself. Hope your bruise and pain have gone. praying for you my friend. Hugs and blessings Esther

Hello from DOWN UNDER!
Hey Miss Pond, its Lauren's birthday and i decided to show her your blog. (Everyone misses you SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much!) We are enjoying year 6 very much but would be better with you. We are eating LOADS of lollies but just enough so that we don't get a sugar rush. PSSA is AWESOME. Everyone enjoys it so much! Just last week we played against South Halls Head and Vollyball ( Rachel-Anne's Sport) Won 3 sets to nothing. while the Netball (Lauren's sport) also had a big win with 13 to 4. The Footy team also had a win, thrassing by 56 points but hockey and soccer had a tragic loss and in the end even though they lossed we comforted them and then they were all happy in the end! At the moment everyone is excited about your visit back and can't wait to see you. Everyone always talks about you and love to hear about your travels and we know for a start that we are looking forword to your visit as much as everyone and hope to hear from u soon! Love Rachel-Anne and Lauren Page
