shark point on Phi Phi
Maybe we just got lucky but it was around 9.30 - 10am when we saw sharks, so not so early really. The day we saw them we were only staying a few minutes walk away though. Not sure I'd have had the courage to swim out so far if I'd had to trek over the rocks for 45 mins to get there.

Apartheid Schools
hey you 2, great to see your pics of south africa. i spent a year there way back in 1978, arriving a couple of months after steve biko had been tortured to death. you've brought back some wonderful memories. we both have virulent doses of travel lust and restlessness at the moment. i've been looking at my photos of our year on the road, and feeling terribly desk bound. so it's great to see your pics of somewhere that means a lot to me, changed though it is now. i visited some schools when i was living there---it was during the depths of the apartheid years, when even the most fearful recognised that the system had failed. what amazed me was that, in all that hardship and deprivation, all purposeful, and the Bantu knew it, of course, was that will to get an education. i met some amazing black South Africans who had somehow managed, mostly through willpower, to put themselves through university. anyway, better get back to work. ugh! happy trails.

Always some new place to discover
Yes I know what you mean about leaving a country having the feeling you've not quite covered it all. That's how we felt when we left you behind in Malaysia and you 'discovered' Kapas. Oh well there's always next year. Mum xx

Finally Advanced!
The diving sounded great. Especially the Thistledorm. You never know maybe on our third visit to sharm we might get to do some diving (if I can keep paul out of hospital!) Looks like you're still having a great time. Let me know how you really think Egypt compares to diving in the rest of the world.

Sounds like you're going down in sympathy with Dad, unfortunatly he didn't recover so quickly. Sounds like you're having a good time without us anyway. Maybe we'll catch up with you again sometime. Living in hopes, Mum xxxx

How long are you travelling?

Hi There!
Hi Scott and Sharon, Just checking in with y'all to see how the travels are. The pictures of the Tiger Temple looks really cool. Hope you are having a great time in Africa (if you are still in Africa). Things are going great in SB. The fire is contained and the weather is great and the kids are back in school (hurray!!).

Enjoy!
John has graciously been sharing your blogs with me. I have enjoyed just looking and reading about your travels-can not imagine how wonderful it really must be. Barbara
