Hostels and leeches
Hi to you 2 travellers What hostel would you recommend in KK? Always handy to have a back up plan if hosts don't work out for some reason. How did you get rid of the leeches? I read somewhere about them not liking tobacco and to stuff it down your socks!

its your last week
Hi its your old work mate, You know the one who some times gives you a ride home after work. Just read your blogs, The leech's look like fun but the under water photos don't look to bad. Don't think much of your room mates could do with a shave they all look a bit hare to me. Must be the heat don't worry you've only got a week left I'm shore it wont affect you. Unless of course you get bit by any leech's plenty to gossip about when you get home just have a grate last week sorry did I say last week ? Your frend and mine Brian utan Lawson.

Diving Mabul
Sorry to hear that the diving wasn't that great! As you know, we had great diving there. The weather does make a big difference, but there's no excuse for the rubbish! That must be one of Asia's biggest problems. By the way, that scorpionfish is called the Smallscale Scorpionfish (in our marine book). Did you stay on Mabul or just the rig? Keep at it and enjoy!

KK
I am amazed, where do you find the time to do all this writing and how do you keep record whilst walking about. Very well written.

Back atcha!
Hey! First blog of your Sabah trip! See you're not wasting time getting your feet working. They better get use to it. We're sure there's plenty more walking in the coming weeks!

Low Water Flow
Hey, really glad to see the pictures up again. What a pain! They are lovely though, thanks for the effort :-) It's strange that the Tarawera falls were so much smaller for you guys. There was one outflowing much higher up when I was there in September! It came down the long crack on the left, just visible between the bush. Guess you'll just have to go back!!!

Should've mentioned - go when the pohutakawa are out :-)

Well taught luggage
Hi guys. Wow! It sounds like your adventures are off to a good start. Glad to hear that you are settled (and safe) in Cuba, but - DANG - you make me so glad that I am not doing any airplane travelling for a while! Oh man, wondering around airports, gate changes, and missing luggage! And hey, what can you expect from your gear - I mean it probably likes exploring the world as much as you two do! Any idea where they were trying to run off to?
