Hope you've arrived safely in Singapore. I've been told it's a lovely place, the airport is certainly very good. I see you've been told to have Singapore Slings at Raffles. Didn't get to Raffles but had the S S at several 1000 feet before breakfast one morning! Very moreish. See you Fri eve 6.15pm terminal 3 Etihad flight no.EY17 from Abu Dhabi. Hope you have good flights with no delays. Love Mum.
RESPECT! What an amazing day!Respect for you guys but good that you had respect for the creatures in their environment!Keep safe- don't forget tohave a Singapore Sling in Raffles hotel when you move on to Singapore!Cheers.X
Time is running out Sounds like you are still enjoying yourselves. Make the most of it - time is running out and it will be back to the grindstone next week. See you at the airport on Friday.
Love Dad
Unusual bbq fare! We had beefburgers and onions one night and steaks the other. Not quite in the same league but at least the weather was good, lovely warm September days for the w'end. Trust you're topping up the tans for the return home so that we are all impressed. I'm only jealous, it sounds like paradise. I'm now about to read the next diary entries. Love to both Mum.
Jungle Adventure This sounds so exhilerating! what an exciting time in and out of the boat!Yes you got wet but it sounds as if you were lucky not to get even wetter!Take care!X
Yet another diary of exraordinary experiences. How fortunate you've been but also very brave. life back home will seem so dull but at least you'll have wonderful memories. Loe Mum.
Fun You certainly know how to pack it all in! Disappointing about the towersl but it sounds like you made up for it on other things. Keep having fun.
Dad
Have you disappeared? Had super w'end in M'hoe. Lovely weather. Walked Morte Pt and saw 5 seals, walked to Lee and went down to Rockham and paddled in the sea. just as it should have been in the so called summer. Back to normal grey weather now. Hope both O.K and still having great time. Love Mum.
hi just printed off you latest bloggs , take then to grandma and grandad s who are very interested in your adventures , its like a novel you cant wait till the next chapter, glad all is well love to you both x
Just read about your monkey and mangrove trip. sounds good fun but a lot of paddling. We are going to M'hoe for w'end to stay with Helen and David in their caravan. Only arranged y'day so nice surprise. Weather supposed to be good. Love Mum.
bombs It must have been great fun to see the monkeys falling out of the trees. Just shows what greedy animals they are.
Did your shoulders suffer after all the paddling?
Lots of love - Dad
Hope Rachael is feeling better. See photos when you get home. Just had Kate and Mike here for lunch on their way through to see relatives in London.Love from Mum.
Dobeing! Ha ha ! I do not know what this word means but it sounds funny! We are washing as we go but every so often (more often now) we are only getting cold showers and so washing in cold water means if it isn't dried quickly it smells really bad! Then we make the dash for the launderrettes! But yes it is cheap, perhaps 80p for 1kg....although 80p can but two meals so relatively expensive I guess! C u soon! x x x
Laundry!!!!! I'm back on line now so catching up. Whats with the"Dropping our washing off"? You softies! You obviously didn't listen to my instructions re Dobieing in the shower!!!! Just joking its so cheap you might just as well get it done - no guarantees it will come back the same colour but hey! Continue to enjoy.Love to both.xxx
nice to hear from you again Sounds like you are still having a good time. We we recognise to very tanned people when you get home again?
Look forward to the next entry and more pictures.
Love Dad (and Mum)
reply Yes i remember, they had options such as ostrich, kangaroo, goat as well. I had the crocodile because i remember it to be nice from carnivore and it was nice. I wasnt as keen on the snake, the meat was darker and a bit chewier! Glad you finally got some good weather!xx
Finishing university, settling down, getting a job and a mortgage, it all seems a little too fast for my liking! So in an effort to delay the inevitable the decision was made to simply disappear for a few months...to go and see the world!
The plan is to begin in the famous travellers haven, Thailand. We then head North and into Laos, travel down through Vietnam, across Cambodia before venturing South through Malaysia and home from Singapore. The schedule is tight at 52 days and no doubt we will have to bypass some of the sights, but you can't do everything!
We fly out on the 11th August... full info
