Blog-master!! G'day Pete! Absolutely love reading your blogs. You should write a book one day. Only about 8 weeks til Chris and I will meet up with you! Cannot wait! Will be great to exchange tips and stories. Take care mate and keep up the entertaining blog writing. Nat xx
Beautiful It all looks fantastic Pete. Now i've left work all i wanna do is go on holiday! no where near as extreme as you but def somewhere hot and exotic.
Glad you're having a fabolous time, take care and enjoy yourself xxx
Hot??? Oh my god. You're such a wimp. It's been that hot here in Britain. It's been between 25-35 for the last few weeks. It was 31 yesterday! Grow some balls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sat outside AOH having a drink in the sunshine with Gareth and Lucy earlier. It was just like old times...
Miss ya, xxxxxxx
ANOTHER BLOG! it was a lovely surprise, I'm sitting in my classroom, absolutely STEAMING (its a real heatwave here - I can't remember a Summer like it in years...)and with a throbbing toothache (which isn't pleasant), waiting for the bell to go for the final time this school year...feeling washed out and very tired...and I see mail from Pete!!!! Thanks for cheering me up, that stepped waterful looked so beautiful and cool I'd like to have walked in it. The Crazy House was - well - CRAZY! I suppose its for tourists, but do they get that many up there? Or is the person who made it just a wierd eccentric who did it for his own pleasure/interest? There's a man in France I think who has built his complete home out of rubbish... Oh well, there goes the bell! School's out for Summer! Like you, I'm finding myself actually wishing for drizzle, (and you know what a sun worshipper I am!) BYE xxxxxxx
Hey Pete, Miss you Honey Hi Pete, your blogs are fantastic I love reading them, the pictures are amazing and your travels are so well described I could close my eyes and be there.......I wish!!! Hope you are well sweetie and enjoying the experience of a lifetime. Take Care and keep enjoying the fanny.......iceream of course xxxx
Dangerous Ice Cream Just for the record, if you ask for Fanny Ice Cream here in the States, it will be chocolate starfish flavor!!!!! So be careful boys...
keep on blogging! Pete, Its so great to read all this, and great for you to remember it all in such detail when you've finished.But how long does it take you to keep the blog up?? Anyhow - DON'T STOP! Please give loads of love to James, and tell him I have tried to go on his e-mail to read his, but being computer-thick I just do't understand how to move around amongst every thing else in there. Its not that I haven't tried. Next time I go round U.Andrew's I'll get him to show me. Be happy, but careful, both of you.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxmum
Smells The contrast of those white rocks, and the red sand and water in the Fairy Stream is fantastic. I'd love to paddle in it right now... It's VERY hot back home...(I'm not complaining - BUT it's hard when you're at work...) I think you're very cowardly telling Paul he smells after he's GONE...Did Celia go with him then? Didn't she smell him? Or did she like the smell of him? Or maybe she smelled too? Do YOU TWO smell? Is that why he left? What did he smell of anyway? love from mum
Pictures missing Again, a great read Pete, I think you may have found your vocation. I walked up an amazing sand dune like that once in Spain, and at the top two Germans came out of nowhere and smiled, said good morning and walked on by, they were stark naked! Why no pictures of the bulldogs?
Sunday Papers Bloody hell Pete, brilliant read but its like the Sunday Times! You spend all day reading, stand up for a scratch and find there's another bit you haven't seen. Is there no stopping you? No don't stop, its far better than the Travel Section. I never realised the Vietnam coast was so fantastic - the Red Canyon seems bizarre. Fanny ice cream eh, cool and inviting - unlike the four Scousers? By the way, I reckon your mum must have discovered the very same rice vodka at Henley, although probably a tad more expensive over here it had the same effect! Keep it up, no doubt I will post this and find another blog waiting?
Copycats OK, James's Bebos and your blogs are word for word! Is he copying yours, or you his, or a joint effort? I have to say that the blog is a more user-friendly site for computor illiterates, and it's much easier to view the photos as well. Loads of love, Uncle andrewxxx
...step into my office would you another quality read my boy. I've been thinking about this and I think when you get home you should put all of these blogs together into a travel guide/book. Now, as you know, I've been in the publishing business for sometime now so would be more than happy to help you out, not to mention my sales experience that I am sure would come in very helpful. I'm thinking 25%, quite competitive really!! :-)
All's good back here, it's my last week at work after the weekend, then following the yellow brick road to make my fortune!
Had a bit of a sesh on tuesday, Ellie, Duncan, Lucy, Knowlsey, Tank and Glen all came up to the hut for a few bottles, we all managed to keep our clothes on, unlike the weekend. had shane, lucy, sally and me back at mine doing tequila drinking games that left shane and I completely bare-bum naked! ..........am I turning into a naturist? Hope not!!
Getting my tattoo soon, next weekend I think!
Off to Latitude festival for the saturday, it's only up the road in Southwold (suffolk), looks pretty cool, it's all quite acoustic and chilled out, poetry in the woods and things like that.
Anyway, think about the business plan, I could make you a very rich boy!! he he
Miss you mate but glad your having such an awesome time.

Pete, it all looks so interesting, I was there WITH you while reading it! I know what you mean about the TV aerials, it was just the same when we drove around N.Africa, into the remotest poorest settlements... There, all anyone wanted from us were 'biro' pens, or sunglasses. We said if we ever went back we'd buy a cheap box of both for 'distribution'! You'd be certain of friends for life!Is it the same there or is there some other 'most desirable wannahave'? Bells gone(8:45 and school's starting...)strange how time churns on whereever you are in the world! so must go and begin the day. Loads of love - mumxxxxx
Cambodia is odd but great at the same time Pete, been getting all your e mails mate good to see you are having a cool time. Sorry it has taken me so long to mail but just lazy mate. Well Cambodia just next door to Thailand but worlds apart and that road from the boarder to Siem Rep what an ass. Phnom Penn strange old place but the sun set is good on the lake. Will you still be in Thailand as me and Nat fly there september 29th ? We have just got back to Sydney and are trying to get jobs to get some $$$$$ for Thailand so hopefully see you there mate.
Dude...what a journal!!! Hey Pete,
Wow!!!, what a story - you should write a book dude! The images really help portray the grim, damp surroundings your in...NICE!!!! No not really...just kidding buddy, looks like your having a top time dude. Keep up the informative journal mate, need something to look forward to...take it easy buddy, be good and don’t hassle the local clan too much!!! See ya buddy and once again take care mate! Richie Rich.
hay pete, really enjoyed reading your blogs, you write very well! keep them coming! the pics are fab, and very well discribed by you!! not much to report in good old colchester other than the usual drunken antics! there not the same with out you tho! keep up the partying and sightseeing xxx
It's taking me ages to read through all these - it's great! I love the curly long bits they stick on the end corners of all the roofs. It's all so completely different to our architecture. lots of love (-got to go, I've got another blog to read!!!)xxxxxxxxx
no comment There's really nothing I want to say, but I'm glad you've seen it. I had all the same feelings as a young person finding out in detail for the first time about the horrors of the holocaust. People need to know what human beings can be capable of.
it's good to laugh dear Pete, not having heard from you for a while-suddenly there's LOADS of news! It's really great to read it. The moped cargoes made me laugh outloud, so had to share it with some of the other staff. Must move on to next blog... mumxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
weird and wonderful (not YOU) Those pictures are absolutely incredible. It looks like some other world... I'm amazed. Sadly they won't all print off for some strange reason. xxxxxx

Good beer?
Sounds better than American beer! Hey, I hope you didn't buy anything from that dodgy looking street vendor in the hat...
