Ants also known as mite
i there. We sympathise with you re the mossies and ants, having had battles with these ourselves in another country. We were visiting Vietnam in a group and on entering our . bedroom in the hotel we looked at the delicious packets of figs and dates left for us and thought we would feast on them whilst resting as we had just arrived. We were horrified to find as we opened the tightly packages ofsweet meats.....thousands of red mite/ants.......these creatures had made a trail right across our bed and out through the window......we had to call the housekeeper to dispose of them....A member of our group had a suitcase full of food (yes, food!!) This couple thought that they would not like Asian food ( I ask you,what on earth were they doing travelling the world if they did not like foreign food.).....They opened their suitcase and we heard the screams along the corridor.....their suitcase of food was ruined by millions of these red mite. We were staying in a hotel in Laos where we going to visit the Plain of Jars....I pulled the curtains to close them for the night, but the curtain pole fell down and I was covered in ants.....many of them biting me as I had disturbed their family who had made a home in the hollow of the curtain pole.

You are bringing back memories of Ubir to us. What a fantastic view. Straight out of crocodile Dundee. I thought they had doctored the image for the film but not at all. Just stunning and the sunset was worth the walk. Lots of love, Helen

I would take the official version of the sinking as open to query. The present inquiry will nort finish the debate. Cheers. David

What interesting rock formations - must have been wonderful watching the sun set over them. Have a look at my Cappadocia pics from Turkey - those formations are really interesting and have been hollowed out to make houses & storage facilities. I can't believe it is 6 months u have been away - the time has flown by. Been a bit busy of late to read your blog so loads of catching up to do on it. Love Kx

Lamb Roast
G'day you Very Clean Campers! Well, I was thinking about your Lamb Roast, envious and drooling more than a little, because you described it so well. Aren't Camp Kitchens the greatest!? Something we've noticed too - no matter how much red wine you throw in with whatever you are cooking, it's never too much. Why is that? Talking about noisy cretins that don't consider others . . . We experienced the absolute worst once. It was the worst kind of violent domestic argument. Unbelievable!! The 'free' campground was full that night, including dozens of young kids on Scout and Girl Guide campouts . . . and they would have heard the whole thing which went on for hours. So nothing surprises the seasoned camper these days. How sad hey? But Tassie was 'peaceful', wasn't it! Happy travels! Lee & Marilyn
