Looks fantastic...
What hotel are you staying at? Don't forget the markets in Saigon, they're pretty good. We did a Mekong Delta tour while we were there and it was worthwhile, the Cu Chi tunnels were good too. Canberra is cold and verging on rain, kids are on school holidays, Jack is having a pyjama day. Nico would like to but he is playing soccer in the Kanga Cup so has to leave the house for that.

stressing out a bit- sounds like our whare took the brunt of the storm, a window in our house blew out and theres a bit of damasge- poor meliors our house sitter had to manage on her own- i think its all sorted- wish we were there- kind of- not xxk

Hey Otis, the journal and photos are fantastic!! I'm jealous!!! I have printed everything and am going in to school today to set up a board with what you have sent so far and a map so everyone can see where you have been when they get back to school Monday. Keep having fun!

agree with teiti comment
Me also more photos of people we know. Starting to think this is a bogus trip, you've actually just gone to Auckland with the odd sorty into an Asian market for veges for the night, the rest of the fots downloaded from the web. Pah! That canoe shot is suspiciously like the Hatea just past the basin, you've all just gone and put silly hats on. Is this going to be like that man on the moon thing, did it really happen, is that really you squinting, the sun in your eyes? Serves you right if you didnt go we are freezing here, this must be the worst school holidays ever, Otis you must have appeased the karma headmaster if you are actually in the tropics. And if you are...go well you Lien Xo! Tim
