| 22nd November 2009 Steve | Back on the road again - From: The Indian Pacific, Broken Hill and Silverton Hello you two, great to see you back on the road and looking forward to more blogs, which have been missed while you worked in Sydney. Broken Hill sounds quite fascinating and i'm sure you have some amazing sights to come. Keep posting the blogs as often as you can. Dad/Steve |
| 18th November 2009 Mark | Perth Perth Perth - From: Leaving jobs, our apartment and Sydney Great to see another blog fly by chaps. I hope Amy got our birthday message? Looks like a good itinerary. Fremantle is a super little town (Pirates Backpackers). Adelaide well thats where I met Sue so fond memories and lots of churches. Glad you will make Tazzy always regretted not getting that far. Excuse the spelling being in Holland not much good for that. Take care Mark |

| 15th November 2009 Bernice | Bye Lee - From: Wine tasting in The Hunter Valley It was great working with you - such a treat having someone there who knows stuff and reads. Hope you and Amy (Amy?) have a great trip (even though you're going to be travelling through hell at this time of year). And remember, Australia is a huge country - plenty of space to hide a corpse - so don't hitch-hike! Bernice |
| 13th November 2009 eric | :) - From: Perhentian Kecil loved reading your blog - i can identify with your running out of air during learning - happened to me too! had to use the instructor's secondary regulator :p |
| 26th October 2009 Steve | reminiscing - From: Good morning (well, afternoon actually) Vietnam! I just read your blog because I'm thinking about taking a short trip to Hanoi soon for some sightseeing. The Halong bay area seems really nice. Anyway, after reading the first part of your blog about all the scams, I started reliving some of the things I experienced on a recent trip to Philippines. We had a layover in Manila on our way to Cebu, and honestly, about 99% of the people I came into contact with had some scam. I wasn't prepared for this, so I did get taken a couple times at first, but I soon caught on. Hopefully I'll do well in Vietnam. Thanks! |
| 9th October 2009 Diane | iPho! - From: Jobs, a dust storm, and visiting family in Manly Lovin' the tee Lee! Genius. xx |
| 23rd September 2009 Dil | HAPPY B DAY LEE - From: First week in Australia Guys, still enjoying all ur reviews. Enjoy Aussie! Dil xx |
| 22nd September 2009 Mark | Hey Guys - From: First week in Australia Brings Back fond Memories Guys. We are just back in San Jose after our Costa Rica Highlights tour. Beautiful Country in many ways quite grubby in others, you know how it is. Speak soon x |
| 25th August 2009 Douglas Eggleton | Sleeper Coach - From: The beautiful Hoi An and its excellent tailors At first I saw the pretty blue neon lights and it looked pretty funky, then I enlarged the picture, this is worse than the sleeper train! Are those bed things designed for western people? |
| 20th August 2009 Jess | Nha Trang to Hoi An - From: The beautiful Hoi An and its excellent tailors I feel like a celebrity - my name mentioned in lights on the internet. How's the next leg of the journey? Whoopsie-like? We have landed back in Blighty to a bit of a culture shock but will do our best to soften the blow for you guys with a nice bottle or two of red in Stokey. Looking forward to the next episode in the Lee and Amy adventures... |
| 16th August 2009 leeandamy | Hoi An and suits - From: The beautiful Hoi An and its excellent tailors Hey Dave, Glad you liked the blog, you're sure to like Hoi An, its a beautiful place. The suits vary depending on the material (you can pay up to 300 US dollars for the top notch stuff) but as a general guide you can expect to pay between 60 - 120 US dollars for a regular suit. I paid 110 for both of mine and they were better quality (in both material and actual making) than I'd get from a high street shop back in the UK. Shirts range from 10-30 US dollars and are good too. Generally, the higher the price, the better the tailor. Can't recommend the ladies in Bi Bo highly enough! Say Lee and Amy sent you, you might get a discount All the best mate, hope you enjoy your trip - be sure to try Cao Lau! |
| 15th August 2009 Wildh2o | - From: The beautiful Hoi An and its excellent tailors Very nice synopsis. Some really good suggestions too. Its good to know about the hotel and taylors in Hoi An. I plan on going there myself in the next few weeks to have some suits made. One question: On average how much does it cost for a decent suit? Also, is it easy to have things shipped home? Thanks again for the travel update and be safe. Dave |
| 9th August 2009 Dad and Kathy | Hello Hippies. - From: Some say Ho Chi Minh City, some say Saigon. I say Oobiliboo, just to be safe. Well I am impressed, Lee talking in Vietnamese about Dong. Why would you climb through that tunnel? That would have troubled me somewhat, methinks I would have stayed in the sun with Amy. As usual guys fantastic stuff, you could write a great book when you get back. Missing you both XX Has Lee got a new hat? |
| 5th August 2009 Diane | How lovely! - From: Hanoi again and visiting Thuan's house That is so fantastic that you got to visit Thuan's family! That's a truly authentic Vietnamese experience you'll never forget. ... oh and if you ever go back in the future take me with you... he looks cute! Hehe xx |

Dead jealous of your adventures. Love the pics & video. Take care now both, love Vic & Kel x |
| 24th July 2009 Steve | Food - From: Jazz and eating snake in Hanoi Hello you two, I know you were keen to try new tastes but still beating hearts and fresh blood cocktails??? No thank you, I would have been outside with Lee but throwing up I think. Whats that wonderful phrase Amy... "all part of lifes rich pagent" hmm ok. Loving all the blogs as usual. Steve(Dad) |
| 22nd July 2009 Erin and Dan | Stunning! - From: Hill tribes and rice terraces in Sapa I LOVE the pictures (wow) and your writing style is entertaining. My hubby and I are going to Vietnam in October and are debating between a private 8-day tour of the North and Laos, or doing it ourselves. It looks as though you had a wonderful group to go with. Reading your blog makes me even more excited for our trip! Thanks! |

| 2nd June 2009 Simon | Ah Battambang - From: The killing caves and temples of Battambang I stayed there for about 6 weeks a few years ago, teaching at a nearby school... did you go to the abandoned Pepsi factory? There was still a newspaper with an evaporated cup of coffee next to it in the staff chaging room. All the bottles were lined up on the conveyor belts. Left in a real hurry. Anyway...brought back some great memories of my time there... Hope you are having fun! |
| 1st June 2009 Steve (Dad) | Better and better - From: The killing caves and temples of Battambang Well you've done it again, how you find such interesting. fascinating and amazing places and people is brilliant. Phi Lay sounds a top man for having survived what he did and perhaps help others understand a little better. Just great stuff on the blogs you two. Steve |
| 29th May 2009 Vicki | Brilliant - From: Si Phan Don - Four Thousand Islands Your blogs are absolutely brilliant! You have described Laos as a beautiful & interesting country, like you I know little about Laos but now I cannot wait to visit next year. Looking forward to hearing about Cambodia, your blogs are definately a great insight into the countries I will be visiting. Looks like you are having an excellent time, keep up the good writing. |
| 23rd May 2009 Catherine and Matt | Green Gunk - From: Chilling in Muang Ngoi Neua Did the green gunk smell like tiger balm? A strong antiseptic smell? If it did, then we too have come into contact with this miracle cure of all aliments and purchased the same in Thailand. It works wonders for an insect bites, cuts, bruises, spots etc, so my advice is pick some up yourselves. xxxx |
| 22nd May 2009 Steve | All life is sacred???? - From: Chilling in Muang Ngoi Neua Hello you two, so after the sentance in the Monestry Amy was defeated by a cockroach?

| 20th May 2009 Catherine & Matt | xxx - From: Luang Prabang and The Big Question! If Matt and I can be as happy and as wonderful as you both we will consider ourselves truly blessed. We are missing you both so much and are sending all our congratulations. P.s. think about getting the ring somewhere on your travels. I know you are counting the pennies, but coming from someone who has recently received a ring, they are grossly over priced in the UK and you are likely to find something amazing for a better price on your adventures. Keep safe xxxx |
| 20th May 2009 Simon | Congratulations! - From: Luang Prabang and The Big Question! Hi you two, you're officially an 'us' and a 'we'! Congratulations. Looks like a fabulous spot.
