Steve has got his hat on Welcome back Steve and Jan. I cant believe 5 months have gone by so quickly ! Everyone I have spoken to agree - we all missed you. Especially Rob. I was on the phone with him last Thursday and he was actually crying when I reminded him you two were coming home. Matthew has also been very upset. He told me he wants to join you on the next leg of your tour to South Africa. Do you have room for one more? He's a bit big to fit in your suitcase but Im sure Jan would love it.
Anyway Im so glad you're back safe and sound. Cant wait to see you two and catch up and see some photos (do you have any or were they all stolen ??).
Hotel Ericros Hey
Can't believe it is time for you to come home already. I am very amused that you two have managed to get yourself banned from returning to a number of hostels around the world. I hope you fair better with the management at the hotel in London. I understand that the bed has already been prepared with the duvet well fluffed and the room cleaned awaiting your arrival. I also understand that they have arranged some entertainment for you in the form of a 5 and a half week old who is looking for cuddles and kisses, I hope you can assist.
Anyway, I hope you don't have any problems with the management at Hotel Ericros.
Hi, we know it occasionally sounds as if we are wingeing poms (yes J is now officially British) but we are really having a good time. If we say all is wonderful then there is not much to say. Anyway with the last part of Vietnam the issue was not so much the food but the difference in personality from the South.
We are loving the food in Bali
I Can't believe that Uri is using our blog to say to everyone about Spurs beating Arsenal to get to the final. No doubt this will be rectified when Chelsea crush them at Wembly
Spurs 5 , Arsenal 1 just wanted to say to any arsenal fans reading this:
hahahahahahhahahahahahahahhahahahahahahah !
hahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah !
Arsenal are sh*T !!!!!
SPURS ARE ON THEIR WAY TO WEMBLEY !!!!!!
BRING ON THE CHELSEA SCUM !!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Lets get more positive I know that there are ups and downs to travelling, but every time I see there is a new blog entry my expectation is that there is going to be more whinging than interesting story! When you travel through third world countries I know from experience that things dont always go as planned, and usually your expectations are going to be higher than what you actually get - well, you know what... deal with it! Focus on the good new positive experiences you have. I know you are veggies, but most people in those countries cannot understand why, or the concept, so why make such a big deal about every meal that you do or dont get! Moral of the story, what are you going to remember when you look back at the trip down the line - the good or the bad?
Keep having fun Hey there, awful having your camera stolen, with all those pics on it - but the places will have to live in your memory... think of it this way... your bags are lighter, and it's one less thing to carry? Its great to read about your adventures - the good and the bad! Keep it coming!
sounds wonderful and all part of the adventure Hey Jan and Steve
You always seem a little surprise when things dont go 100%, you are in a 3rd world country and thats what adds character and fun to your trip (but crossing the ocean/lake in a small rowing boat but does sound scary)
Enjoy and just think of us leading mundane work, tube, normal lives.

Snakes and Toads Steve, all this talk about snakes and toads should remind you of a typical day at Strettons :)
Also, if you werent succeding in catching a piranha, change the bait...Steve stcik you toe in. Though that may frighten them off (and pollue the whole river)
green with envy Hi there - sounds like you are having a great time, definaltely seeing and doing things that are most certainly out of the normal comfort range! looking forward to reading more!
