We arrived in Luang Prabang and the first thing that struck me was how continental it felt. The main reason for this is the French colonial architecture. As a city it oozes character.

Goodbye beard!
Dear Pete, Glad you enjoyed your birthday. Waterfall looks lovely. Glad the beard has gone, was definitely making you look quite dodgy! As for the moustache, Freddy Mercury? Please tell us if you got to see the gibbons. Lots of love x

I think it's wicked, you've got to keep it when you come home, it's brilliant!!! Some of the scenery in your pictures looks a lot like suffolk, are you sure your all that way away and your not just hiding out in deepest darkest Wiston?? Glad to see your birthday was a good one, it's mine next week, shame your not around to get the beers in. I'll type up a propper message on the email for you. Love ya you hairy tramp.

Hannah can very carefully scroll down all your photos now, with me supervising, and she loves it. She really looks, and asks all sorts of questions. I love the ducks pictures! I don't quite GET it - is it like a game - as we'd have at a fair? ie you pay up front and if you miss, you don't get one? or do you pay for a duck, and just muck about as you choose it...? Lovely to hear from you xxx mum
