Arrived Safely

---

Hi guys and girls

Well we arrived safely in Istanbul this morning = Dubai was amazing never seen so many planes lined up and being filled in one place

You will have to excuse the lack of full stops of other punctuation of any kind as the keyboard that I am using is all back to front and the owner is less than helpful

It was great flights and we stayed at the Plaza Park Royal in Singapore for 36 hours and had a great time Lachie been a bit sick with a Kiwi stomach bug he bought with him

Very hot there yesterday in the early thirties and thunder storms in the late afternoon

I can see this trip is going to be a bit of fun as for those who know that I like a joke and to pull someones leg = well it appears that Lachie is of the same ilk and we are constantly trying to out do each other

Apart from a trip to Singapore Zoo yesterday after noon we spent most of the day by the lovely pool working on our tans before hitting the Italian beaches later in the trip

Sorry that his entry is not too descriptive but they will get better I promise = just wanted to let you all know that we are here and hopefully this thing works ok

We just had a Turkish coffee each = so that is the jet lag taken care of for the next few hours also sat down and watch a couple of guys playing backgammon and smoking the pipes I am thinking of bringing one back for the flat at home as I can see us sitting around of an evening sharing the love

From the flight I can strongly recommend the film Bobby for anyone who likes stories interwoven with history and for a laugh Wild Hogs especially where he asks the computer by = voiced activation to search for alternative specs as he wants to upgrade and it searches for alternative sex = the results of which I leave for you to discover = whilst in a coffee shop very very funny and had me in tears for about 15 minutes

Well best go and see the sights before the coffee wears off = hope the winter is holding up nicely for you all

Paul
