God Bless Words cannot express the tragedy. As a fellow traveller who never knew you, i can sense the joy you have had on your adventure. That it should end in such a way is unimaginable - God bless you and your family.
Jealous, Me? Hey you 2! Hope you're still having a fantastic time, looking at your pics was a brilliant reminder of when I did Phi Phi last year. It was about the same time so I remember the weather - not sure about doing the islands in a long-tail boat tho. Nutters!! Your tan looks to be coming along great Hels, I'd better get the fake out as I'm back in England now for a few weeks and it's freezing, even if they're telling me it's not. Looking forward to seeing you again next month, I'll bring the industrial straighteners -)

Hi John and Helena, good to see you having such fun! Mum told us about your insect encounters! We can't see any boots on feet yet so perhaps we could be wrong!? Looking forward to the next installment. Love jackie, brendan, sam and emma.
It's a hard life.. ..but someone really has to do it!
What a grand adventure! It's great to see you're living life to the full. WE REALLY WISH WE WERE THERE!
The blog is excellent, good photos and a journalist's pen.
Hels, did you find a plug for the straighteners? John, remember the barrel points AWAY from you!
Have fun!
a little bit jealous! Looks sooooo good in the photos and sounds like life is good. Bad back - my arse!! Great excuse to go and have a Thai massage, more like! Ryan's mate, Steve , was round at ours on Monday, just back from Bangkok and wishing he wasn't. (wasn't back from Bangkok, not wasn't round at our place....I think!
Keep chillin' in the sunshine,

Footie team? Wondered if you could possibly play for England, as we have got no-one left in the whole country who isn't injured!!!
Glad all is well with you both. The sun has finally started to shine here, better late than never....

Hels and I are off travelling soon, it's Thailand & South East Asia first then on to Oz and then Japan. We'll be gone for a year (or longer or shorter) so we've set this up to keep in touch with eveyone at home, and as a personal record for ourselves.
Expect to see lots of photos of Hels soaking up the sun and me looking hot and bothered : )
