laughing so much it hurts Having just read the blog entry of you two on a little motorbike, and getting locked outside on the balcony I have tears rolling down my face, only you two could do that, seriously looks like you are having a wonderful time.
Continue to take care, especially coming back through bangkok.
lots of love

Hi Thailand Looks wonderful, looks like you may even have a tan!! Enjoy the pampering and relaxation over the next few weeks. Phil dont get used to the cheap fuel prices £1.30 /litre back home. Take care and love to you bothxx
Enjoy Koh Samui Glad you managed to get to KS - Tricia loved it over there and would be extremely jealous of you both. Sounds like you are roughing it well and truly! Loved the description of the Skyline (sounds like Robbie's car - Nissan skyline with go faster bits bolted on) ! Speaking of number 1 son - he has just signed a contract on a fabulous house and 20 acres in the hills near us - stunning property and both Brian and I simply love it. He is also off to Manila tomorrow with some mates for a couple of weeks - plumbing obviously doesn't pay! Enjoy your last couple of weeks - you sure have had the most incredible trip of a lifetime - love all the photos and descriptions.
Look after yourselves - love Brian and Fiona xx
Dear Wendy and Phil,
Glad ur ok, and having fun. we are all thinking of you.
What are your next plans in Thailand? Cannot believe your back soon!! Time has gone so quickly.
Love the photos you have sent, cant wait to see more.
Enjoy yourselves, all is ok at home, cant wait to see you.

Sounds like a nice place. Did you get out with all you belongings? I notice the picture of the bike, seems a little out of place relative to the other pictures. Glad to see your enjoying your selves. We miss bumping into you guys and have slowed our pace considerably.
Poor puppy You big wuss Phil! Fancy not squaring up to the bikies! Shame about the pup though. Glad you had such a great trip in NZ - it all sounded wonderful and with breathtaking scenery. Can imagine Wendy being in heaven at a return to civilisation though. Look after yourselves in Bangkok please. Tricia going well - had the 12 weeks scan and all ok. Robbie/Sharyn looking to buy a huge property in the hills - lovely homestead and 20 acres - we are going to see it on Saturday - fingers crossed they can afford it, as they seem keen. Love you both heaps. Fiona xx
hi both of you(DOG KILLERS) glad to hear you had a good time, even though one or two episodes were abit unfortunate.Photos are great and the scenary are out of this world and it was good that you made lots of friends. hope you find thailand as enjoyable, andrew said you would be ok in chang mai. he says there is a big evening market there, and the people are friendly, he also says you can go see the long neck people and the temples in the mountains.
watch out for the run away lions!! haha. and dont wear any red shirts..
are you still going to go to Dubai? as your missing the kids?
we had a great meal last sunday with everyone, and i think eveeryone enjoyed it which is good.
looking forward to hear from you, lots of love mum and dad xxx

Hello from London Hello Phil and Wendy! I've been very idle in not posting comments, but I've been following your blog all the way through. I'm hugely impressed not only with your travels, but also your persistence in keeping up the diary. It's good to see some pictures of places I remember in NZ and I'm really glad you're having such a good time. Love and best wishes from Mike
Spooky Mandy and I were downstairs flicking TV channels, and stopped for 5 minutes on an old repeat of Billy Connelly in New Zealand, he was in Napier, and we saw the whole street, 1930's style after an earthquake that destroyed large parts of the town.
I then logged onto this travel log, and lo and behold, its exactly where you are.
how spooky was that.....
hope you continue having a great time,
Peter

Photos Glad you are having a wonderful time, great to see all the photos, see the booze is doing you the world of good (hic!)
All black out here, no one at work or school and no one flying due to volvano in Iceland! You'll get it there soon.
Be in touch soon, keep sending those blogs!
Message from Melbourne Well it looks as if the place is beautiful - though a tad chillier seeing you in sweaters
Queenstown looks great - Dominic tried the luge as well .....must be a boy thing
We are sitting in the garden - 30 C today and both working our way through the Dragon trilogy Julie bought the last one today
Anyway is nearly 17.00 so shower and gin oclock
Dave and Julie
Caddy Required Hi, with all that room in the van and the magnificent views, I feel sure you need a caddy to take your pics for the rest of the trip, just give the nod send the tickets and I will be there. I would be very happy making sure the hats and glasses are off and the pics are taken.
Seriously sounds and look fantastic have a great trip and above all stay safe.
Brian
from Fiona Your Sydney photos look really clear and lovely - well done! Obviously had good weather which we are pleased about. Thank you for your kind comments in your summing up of the trip to Oz - you will never again look at a roller door in the same way! Hope NZ is brilliant and the camper van doesn't prove to be too much of a challenge - remember Wendy, I want full reports! Love you both heaps and miss you tremendously - Fiona x
I enjoyed your post. Sounds like you are having a good time in Oz. My blog is looking for travel photos, stories, accommodation reviews, and food reviews. If you have the time and have some to share, email us at dirtyhippiesblog@gmail.com or check us out at dirty-hippies.blogspot.com
Continued fun on your travels,
Eric
From Brian and Fiona Glad you are having such good weather in Sydney and enjoying it all. So very pleased the hotel was a success too. The weather here in Adelaide has been very overcast since you left with a few showers of rain which is brilliant - so thankyou Eastmen!
Brian loves your photos of Sydney but feels they are not quite up to his brilliant standard and it serves you right as you should have taken him with you!
Continue to enjoy yourselves - we miss you heaps - the house is very quiet ! Fiona xx
