Hi Rob, Lindsay & Eve, We love reading your blogs. You are certainly having an adventure! Are you really going to want to return home after such an amazing trip? Keep having fun! Love, Lesley
Sumatra Hi Lesley, good to hear from you, yes it will be hard for all of us to return - even Eve has said that she doesnt want to return to Jersey, only if she could transport her best friends here to join us ! We are currently staying in a cute bungalow by Balian Beach in Bali and thinking of you as it is clearly the place to be for the surf ! we are going to rent boogie boards and have a go but I think it is for the 'pro's' here ! off to Singapore for the day tomorrow to renew our visas ! then to Australia in 16 days time - 6 months in South East Asia, I can't believe it !
hello to Eve Looks like you are having a good time.your hair is as long as mine. Yesterday Night 4 o clock in the morning I lost on of my woobly teeth and the tooth fairy visited me! and left a pound coin she said that she knows some of my friends tooth fairies she might know your tooth fairy too.I will ask her when my other wobbly tooth comes out.I am going to France this Saturday
love from Emily
Sumatra Dear Emily i just lost my wobbly tooth too! I was eating a sandwich and it just dropped out. We were staying in a lodge right in the mountains and the tooth fairy still found me! I got 20,000 Indonesian Rupiahs which is just over £1. I need to spend it soon as we are going to Australia in September.
Have a lovely time in France, lots of kisses Eve
The photos look really nice. Your message is really interesting.
Jersey is foggy today.There are only two weeks of school left. On monday it is sports day i have been practising running on the beach.
Love from Abi xxx
WOW! Your pictures are amazing, you all looked so tanned and relaxed! You are travelling to places that I have never heard of and it makes me wonder how you created your itinerary of places to visit. It all looks so beautiful! Our love to you all...Lesley
Scary spiders Hi Eve
I am missing you very much.The tiger spider sounds big and scary. I would be glad to get out of the cave too. Glad you are enjoying your trip so far. It's half term here so no school for a week.
Hello Eve Dear Eve,
We are still really missing you however we're happy that you are having such a lovely time. We hope you are feeling much better after your jellyfish sting. The weather looks lovely and warm. Over here the weather is still rather dull (Sebastian describes it as 'rubbish') and chilly.
How big was the James Bond island? It looks tiny in the film.
What kind of interesting animals are you encountering?
Have you learnt any new languages?
We look forward to hearing from you soon,
Lots of love

Hello to Year 2 Selamat Pagi Mr Matthews and Year 2 - I am missing you all loads. The weather here is still very very hot and humid and I wish a little for the weather in Jersey ! But we spent three days in the mountains by the edge of a lake the size of Penang Island and explored some huge caves where there were lots of bats and scary spiders. We had frogs in our bathroom and bats were in the roof of the hotel. Now we are near the beach again on the east coast of Malaysia. Last night I went on a boat trip and saw twinkling fireflies. We also saw a green turtle come ashore and laid over 50 eggs in the sand. Then I was able to release a hatchling into the sea. I learnt that turtles only lay eggs when they are 20 years old and also that they always come back to the same beach where they hatched - amazing!
I have learnt a little bit of Malay language but they speak English very well here.
Today we took a kayak through a mangrove forest; it was unusual to see tree roots so high above the river. We saw a family of otters but they were shy and swam away.
Mum has put some photos on the internet for you to see. I am also preparing some writing for our travel blog very soon.
I wish I was at school with you often but am having lots of fun here.
Lots of love Evexxxx

The photo Hi Mary I hope you are all well; we are in Thailand now on the island of Koh Yao Noi; were you anywhere near there on your travels ? we are only an hour's sail from Krabi and Phuket but this island is hardly inhabited and our hotel is only accessible by boat or rough track - bliss ! Eve went snorkelling for the first time today and couldn't stop laughing through her snorkel at all the fish she could suddenly see under the surface!
Best wishes to all
Lindsey, Robert and Eve
Hello Eve and your mum and dad Hope you are having a lovely time. Saw the pictures of you on the elephant. It looked like lots of fun. We are all missing you. It's nice to be able to read about and see what you are doing. Chloe?
Elephant ride Hi Chloe I loved riding the elephant, it was much easier than riding a horse ! especially bareback ! washing her was not so much fun as she squirted me with water !
I am now in Thailand and have just been snorkelling for the first time and seen loads of colourful fish and am writing a blog to tell you. lots of love Eve and mum and dad
Cost rica 2013 To Eve, i hope you are having a great time in Laos.

From Leo.
Eve's blog Hi Eve
That's good that you are enjoying your trip. It's very interesting to read about what you have been doing. It is funny to see you in your summer clothes when it is still cold here, starting to get a bit warmer though.
Love Emily xxxxxxx
Last day in Myanmar I really liked your message and photo again. It looks like you are having a wonderful trip. It sounds like the children there have to work very hard and i didn't realise just how many things you can use bamboo for! Which country are you going to next?
Eve blog We have ten more days in Laos next we are going to Thailand and we are going to stay on the beach. I can't wait!
Love from Eve. XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxXXXXXXXXX

Hi Lindsey, Robert and Eve,
It sounds like you have had a fabulous and most memorable time in Myanmar. I love looking at all your photos on Dropbox. I am guessing that Lindsey is the main photographer...sorry Robert but great pictures! Stay safe, healthy and enjoy!
We are a family of three, myself, my husband Rob and our daughter Eve, 7 years old. We are taking a family gap year travelling through South East Asia and Australia departing April 2013.... full info
