I have several holidays plannned for 2009 including Krakow with your Mum and snow shoeing in Switzerland with friends in March. I am looking forward to seeing you at Center parcs on your return. Enjoy the rest of your time and good luck on your return journey. Lots of love Kate
Hi Rach - wow you look like you are having an amazing time - I remember going to Hervey Bay and Fraser Island when I went to Oz... when we got home, Chris and I bought two fish called Fraser and Hervey (they didn't last long unfortunately!). Lots of love, Lucie xxx
Back to nature So pleased you are enjoying the natural world - you'll look at Norfolk through new eyes when you come home! Missing you loads! love you lots, Mum xx
Butterfly daydreams Glad you had such a good time with Brad, know you were looking forward to seeing him again. Sounds as though this was an interesting part of the trip! U missing Romana? xx
Wow! Just found a 'window' to have a look on your blog as Tabitha is feeling better and we are twin free this afternoon. What an amazing time you are having, lucky person! It was really interesting reading about your adventures - are you writing a book when you get back? I'm sure it would do well. Have lots more fun - lots of love Anthea and Brianxxx
Blue things from the trees! Apparently these are quandong berries, I looked it up on Google! Glad our NZ motorhome is bigger than your chubby, looks SO 60's - talk about flowers in your hair!! More amazing travels, sounds wonderful. Love and Peace! xx
Yes I am reading this! heehee I feel famous. Glad you had a lovely time in Lovina - I would've felt awful for recommending it if you'd hated it!! That pic of the dolphin is superb!
miss you Hi My gorgeous friend I miss you so much but as long as you are having a good time as I can read you are then alls well with the world. I love reading your blogs and can't wait till I see the pics in person. Take care and keep on enjoying. love Di and Rich xx
My lovely Niece Hi Abbie. I miss you lots too and wish I could see you and come on holiday with you to Cypsella again. Love you lots and lots, Auntie Rachel x x x
Journalistic skills! Been avidly reading your description of Singapore ready for our visit in December - you ought to get a job writing for the Lonely Planet guides! Sounds great! Can't wait! Love Mum xx
cheap,cheap! Hotels may be cheap - or not! - and come with extra guests, but the photos and video show a priceless treasure. Glad you really value the experiences you are having, even though you're only seeing it with one eye! lol Mum xx
Hi mate, hope the eye is ok now. dont fancy a thai hospital very much! Glad to see you are doing a bit of relaxing aswell as all the rushing about. Your photos are great. I went to Railay 5 years ago and took exactly the same photos, I remember you pointing one out at mine and saying oooh that looks nice! its so wierd that now you are there, stood in the same spot!!
No news, you arent missing much. Take care, have fun at Brads, the whitsundays are beautiful. Claire xxx
Seize the Day! Great newsy blog - will try to get hold of the book written by the Italian from lovely Florence. More connections, how strange. Must be very thought provoking to read about the effect the tsunami had on a place you are actually experiencing. Missing you! xxxxx
Ah yes, I remember the buckets of joy! I am such a scaredy cat that I left Ko Phagnan on the day of the full moon party when I went there - the pre-full moon party was enough for me!
Hello Hi Rach
Read your blog on Phi Phi - I went there in 2001 - it is a gorgeous place and its interesting to hear how it has changed since 2004... I think it is one of my favourite places in Thailand and have a picture of it on my windowsill to remind me on dull grey days in Leicester that there are some fantastic places to see in the world!
Love Lucie x
Buckets and spades I will never look at the displays of buckets and spades in the same light again! Please don't tell me that the buckets have other useful functions after you have finished drinking from them, you need to preserve an old lady's innocence! loadsa luv, Mum xx
Evaporation produces cooling! Water fights look crazy - suppose you end up going with the flow, ha,ha! Your curls are getting better and better - love them! (and you, too!) Mum xx
Great pics! Love the motorbike pics, will be great for your travel book! You manage to make the temple outfit look fasionable, and I like the curls, too - are you going to put the hairstaighteners in the car boot sale when you come back home?!!
I'm still here! I keep reading your blogs and feeling v. jealous! Sounds like you are having an amazing time - you have inspired me to hunt for my holiday form! Love Lucie x
I have finally decided to listen to my inner voice and take myself off for a journey around the globe....watch this space...Valentines day treat and I depart the U.K.... full info
