"suit's you sir" Just a quicky to say I enjoyed your bloggers you two, all sounds very interesting and cultural except for the full moon disco thingy of course, sorry to hear you never got to do your stuff on the decks though !
You buying a suit was just about the funniest thing I've heard in ages - did I laugh - will really look forward to seeing you booted and suited in your new jazzy pin striped 3 piece suit back here one day ! ! !
The two big parcel from Indonesia arrived the other day just so you know, took about 3 months like you said to get here.
So keep on having fun you two and stay safe.
Love dad / neil x x
Good Reading SCARFACE!
I've recently read loads of books about Cambodia's past, so it's been interesting to read your accounts. I'd love to visit Cambodia one day. You are giving me wanderlust. Think I'll have another go at nagging the husband into selling up and going off in our camper van. It's probably not easy travelling with a toddler, but nor is camping in November in the UK with a toddler, but we still have ago!
awww poor adam! thats so shit about your camera!! im so sorry! i got my phone nicked out of my room in cambodia! its funny to see the photos of places i've been too!
muddy waters All sounds really great fun in the river, lucky for you there's no health n safety bods around for all those dodgy modes o transport in them brown waters ! the speed boat journey must have been a back breaker- painful but fun or just plain painful judging by those seats.
Sounds like you need to re-write the Lonely Planet guide book Adam or write your own accurate guide for all those like minded travellers that might want to follow in your footsteps - not such a bad idea eh ! - perhaps one day when you get back ?
By the way is it just me or does Cheryl and Lucy look like sisters or twins even - in the few pictures of you all it sure looks that way - uncanny !
Considering all your dodgy transportation, extreme activity stuff, bugs and dubious food here n there you all look very fit n healthy which is great to see - keep it that way ! ! !
Have fun n stay safe too.

Wow Having read all of the blogs from both of you I have found this the most inspirational it just sounds beautiful and although I am insanely jealous. I am glad you are getting to experience such amazing things. The walking section kinda appeals to me having just undertaken a hard core training session in leading expeditions. I should have my mountain leader award by the time you return so let couch know any time he fancy’s a hike just to give me a buzz!! take care of yourselves its great to hear you are all well and having fun

Feels like it's been ages...? Thats cos it bloody well has been! How exactly am I supposed to live vicariously through your blogs if you dont blog? :P
Gratz on Advanced Diver Status must be so chilled to hang out with the sharks. Jellyfish seem to like you though!
Have a Goog one mate
Happy Belated Birthday! Happy Belated Birthday Ady!! It sounds like you are having so much fun and those monkeys are seriously cute! I want one, he can be friends with Max! Your diving sounds so fab, though I reckon I would have been pretty scared if I had seen that shark!
Take care, speak to you both soon xxxx
Enjoy reading your post You managed to sum up Malaysia in one post nicely.. I was wondering if you would be interested to write about your experience in Malaysia on my blog http://whymustvisitmalaysia.blogspot.com as a guest blogger.. please let me know, my email kzainul@gmail.com
Adam - International Man of Mystery Well buddy what else could you be? Out swimming with the Dangerous Fishies (in a non-dead way obviously) unfortunately the site is playing up today so i cant see any of the photos but i'll check back in a few to see if they come up. All black boxes and interesting captions. In the meantime i'll google the fish and pretend they are your pics :) Have a good one mate
megastructures Was watching a Megastructures documentary the other evening all about the Petronas Towers in Malaysia - was amazing stuff - but even more amazing now when I think that around the very same time you were actually standing at the bottom of those huge towers trying to get them all in the frame for a good picture !
Good to see your blogger sites are up and running ok again.
Bloggers are great from you two, almost difficult to keep up with the places and things you're covering and doing - awesome stuff.
Keep it up kids - safely of course.
Love Dad X
Belated Happy Birthday wishes Phew, your travel blog is back from the dead! This pleases me as Nan asked me to leave a Happy Birthday message. She sends her love and hopes you are having a fantastic time. She is keeping up on your stories as I am printing of your entries for her.
You are in my second home, Singapore. Pretty void of culture for the most part, shopping is their hobby!
Love and kisses
Emma, Nanny Tolley and Baby Ava
the Wizards of Oz The continueing story never ceases to be interesting you two. Told you the Whitsundays are amazing and that Whitehaven is "somethin else" !! Looks like you've both discovered some new passions what with scuba divin and sailin too. The Siska looks a beauty of a boat and must have been great to sail on - envy envy ! You look an old sea dog posing one handed on the helm
Adam !
love all the pics - shame some dope lost some for you though( i'm sure all Ossies are'nt all bad ) but hope you've got loads more in the can somewhere ! Underwater ones look really clear, bet you were a scared woosy when that big fishy with the teeth gave you eye ball to eye ball through your goggles !
Good luck with the change of culture and diet on your next leg, you did say Adam that you'd be trying new foody things on your travels well the Far East is the place !
Have a great time you two and stay safe on your next continent of extreme discovery and exploration.

Action Man n His Woman Great bloggers you two, just all sounds utterly marvellous and there's still much more to go ! Nice to see an actual picture of you both together for a change even if the water is freezing - it does'nt show - all the other pics are not half bad either.
Might have had to raise a protest had I been in that plane when the controls were handed over to you Adam - scarey stuff Captain !
Have your legs grown since you've been away cos the red bike looks bit small for em !
Never know these days whether your up in the sky, on the water, under the water, up a mountain or down a deep hole in planet earth ! ! ! Keep up the good work you two.
Hope you get to see a few other Whitsunday Islands whilst in the area and have great fun sailin just go easy on the amber nectar when on deck, do'nt want you falling overboard.
Stay safe n have fun !
Love Dad / Neil xx
