Pitiful in the Rain Hi you two, you do look a pitiful pair in your rain capes, I still haven't quite got over my latest stroke seeing you two in the balloon, one broken rope would have seen you orbiting the earth for days. I have to say the Watts look fantastic and as Andy said ' nice carvings'.
Look forward to talking to you soon and seeing you at the airport.
Love Dad and Anna

Spooky or What Read your Blog this morning 22/07/06, then later in the day read in the paper that "Pol Pot's bloody henchman dies" a guy called Ta Mok died yesterday in a Cambodian military hospital aged 80, he had been Pol Pot's main man and was the last leader of the Khmer Rouge before its collapse in 1999. Great Blogs!

So awful Hey - I have such respect for you guys - don't know if I could face all that apalling cruelty and suffering so close to. I'm sorry for my last jokey comment now (tho inspired by the Bhuddist paintings not this) - its too horrible but somehow maybe helps you keep it real too. Look after yourselves. Love you Mandy x x
Itchy in Kratche? Hi Guys - some really dodgy looking places - keep taking the tablets we don't want you coming back with any nasty infections!! Sooo sad too - are all the amputees because of land mines etc? (or did they all do summat to upset Bhudda (hmmm not in the best of taste that one!
Love ya - can't wait to see ya

Odd one out We spotted the odd one out straight away, It's the big one in the middle, all the others are bald weirdos kneeling around. What an adventure on the Elephant, I can just imagine Melissa being so so excited. Love the bloggs and great to talk to you the last couple of days.
Stay safe and see you soon
love Dad and Anna
Floaters! Hi guys - looks like a real holiday - and feels good to be with people who are friendly and less of a hassle too I bet? Glad you are taking anti-malarials, especially if you are gonna be around the rivers etc. Did Gwilym tell you about his (meningeal) malaria? He was soooo sick - it's really not worth the risk (tho I hope you are covering up with cream n stuff (OK I'll stop nagging now!). So great to be travelling the world with you. Love you loads

Favela Tour My son and I were recently escorted around Rochina by a local guide named Louisa. Initially we were both quite apprehensive but still very interested to learn about the people and their way of life.
What an experience - Louisa was absoloutely marvellous. She explained the history and the struggles of the people. Louisa also told us about the social projects and was very positive about the help the people receive - though this is clearly no where near enough. We spent time walking through the streets and were fascinated by the buildings and the inivotive electrics and plumbing - though shocked that Rochina only has water 3 times per week!
We passed a young man emptying bullets from a hand gun but saw no other references to guns/drugs.
Everyone should see this place - it was a fascinating but very humbling experience.
Louisa was a shining example of how someone can overcome social disadvantage - it was a priveledge to meet her.
Sorry haven't left a message for such a long time! Still loving the blogs though! My brother is in Thailand at the mo. He and my cousin are just waiting for their visa's to Cambodia. I was reading that Andy hurt his left foot falling off a balcony in Ko Tao? Well my brother had a foot injury as well on the same island!! He's just shaved handle bars into his beard - looks like something off of YMCA!!! If you see him say 'hi!' The weather here is great at the moment, it's a shame I'm in a classroom all day AND it's report time! Not long now until your return? Looking forward to catching up when you get back. Take it easy, eL* xxx
Just spent the last half an hour reading all your blogs for the last couple of weeks- i had exams so just caught up now! You sound like you are having an amazing time and your pics are really beautiful- stunning places you go xx
Where to next? Hi guys
I am leaving Adam today and thought that I might come and find you two.... where will you be on Saturday and Sunday? Send me an email and let me know. Sounds like you having fun!
