Hello!
Hello, you intrepid explorers :o) Just a quick one to say thanks for the postcard, and the regular blog updates - I'm really enjoying keeping up with you on your travels! Hope Mel's better now. I'm jealous you got to see monkeys! It was also interesting to hear all about Saigon, having worked on "Miss Saigon" once upon a time ;o) Take care, and keep posting! Laura xx PS. I want to try the coconut sweets now...
