Hello Itchy and Scratchy 15 Blog entries and 165 pictures ! Well done you two - it's been really thrilling and very amusing following your progress and an inspiration to those of us who've never been further than Spain and Greece etc. No doubt you have both now been well bitten by the travel bug as well as by the infernal sandflies.
I've been putting 2p and 1p coins in a bag to start your next travel fund - it currently stands at £4.37!
See you on Thursday

BETTER LATE THAN NEVER Been following your adventures from the start of your trip through Grans copies of your blogs posted from Jackie. Only just got Internet so you will have to stay out a bit longer so I can polish up on my typing skills.You seem to have had a fantastic time and so have we following your trip of a lifetime. Keep safe and lets have a party(with you cooking) when your feet have reached the ground. Lots and Lots of love from all of us. xxxxxxxxxxx
Beeston Blog Hellooooooooooooooo from the homeland - Massive breaking news - the Malvern's shut - all the windows are covered by steel shutters - Investigations have revealed that despite a modest rise in revenue from when I turned up it's unable to sustain it's feasibility - Bottom line is you won't be able to utilise your new found pool skills on yer doorstep.
City kids at heart eh! You both sound hugely impressed by KL - there must be work there
( not that I'm tryin to pinch your flat or anything!) - there'll be a poker game somewhere Laurie!
Fantastic advert for the Hotel du Ming Donna - bet you've cost 'em a shedloada ringgits ( now theres a currency I'd struggle to take seriously)- if I ever get to KL I'm gonna stay there but take my own sheets.
Loved your comment about the museum - yes we have to do our touristy duty don't we! Speaking of museums yer mum and I took Callum to the City gallery the other week - he ran straight up to an Old Master and poked it - good lad.
That's it for now - loads to tell you but it'll keep - see you both soon
Love Dad

Monsoon season in Leeds Hi you two. At the moment it feels like all of us in Leeds are sharing your experiences of monsoons and thunderstorms but without the bonus of having beautiful beaches, stunning scenery and wild adventures! Well, my birthday party was a bit wild and soggy, but that's another story!! Keep having fun and look forward to your next adventures. Missing you lots now. Love Mum x x

Beeston's Burnin! Bet that got yer attention - Greetings from LS11 to the travellers !
Who needs Michael Palin eh - yer blogs are really excellent and some of the pictures are beautiful. I've got the Koh Tao sunset one on desktop.It looks like youre having an amazing time and I'm looking forward to seeing all your pics.You're both looking disgracefully healthy.
Everything's fine here in Poland (sorry Beeston).
Me and Wayne got sacked yesterday from a job we were leaving on Monday anyway - Hilarious - boss rang and demanded that we return the BMW immediately but we had stuff to sort out so we didnt - the car had a tracker in it and he had two reps chasing us around Wakefield for three hours - it was like the Keystone Cops!
The diving biz looks incredible and an experience you're gonna want to repeat.I'd love to do that but mi ears are way too dodgy!
Keep up the blogging when you get the chance - bet you've got some tales to tell!!
Love Pa x x
