Thailand is beautiful Koh Tao looks as beautiful as Phi Phi, oh well that's another place on my ' to visit ' list!! Maybe to snorkel though, I'm not brave enough to Scub dive!
hi!! Hi guys! Nice time in Thailand and Vietnam i see....although you didn't like fish! Hope you are having great experiences there and going on with your long trip! I can't believe you forgot the only 5 words you knew in spanish!! :) Take care!
its nearly time to settle down Hi Gary, sorry to burst your wonderful bubble, but its nearly time to settle down again. I hear you will be home soon, and you'll find a difference in the price of beer here. Pity you couldn't make it in time for my 80th Party on March 24th (The beer will be free ! ) Love grandma XX
Hey! This is cool... I am so techno-phobic that I didn't realise that I could leave you a message when I looked at your blog! Was just looking back at the NZ pages when Nebil signed into Messenger so I was talking to him and looking at your pictures... weird!! Anyway, hope to catch you in the next few weeks in Thailand. Jo
the best!!! Gary i think that your visit to Buddha was a great experience, so magic very spiritual !
kisses of your friend in Peru, I wish that that you Enjoyments all the moments knowing different cultures of the world.

Beer again Hi Gary, looks like you are enjoying the beer again, This is the second blog with you on the title page drinking beer! Enjoy the rest of your trip.
Love Dad xxx
crammed boat rides Good job you had lots of beautiful scenery to look at from your hard wooden bench on the crammed boat! It was a bit like that on the longtail boats in Thailand but at least we were only on them for 20 minutes max. not 7 hours!
All good experience!
Like Father, like Son! I can see you appreciate a good bottle of Chang beer too! And yes, I agree with you it is strong! But at roundabout 60 baht a bottle you can't beat it can you? Wish we could be there to share it with you.

Tuk Tuks Don't you just love the Tuk Tuks? So much nicer than boring old cars!
Hope that one driving down Koh San Road isn't as crazy as most are!
mum.
Bintang Glad to see you're still wearing your Bintang T shirt. You'll soon be drinking Chang beer, just as good in our opinion but VERY strong! Beware! mum xx
chill out time Glad you finally got some good weather to chill out and do some swimming in the sea (or should I say surf!) Take care and watch out for the great whites!! Mum xx
Sunday Roasts! Don't worry, Gary, there'll be plenty of roast dinners when you get home in April. Until then I'm sure you'll be having lots more different and 'interesting' food over the next 3 months! mum xx
happy birthday Gary Happy Birhday, Gary, couldn't send you a card, but my thoughts are with you anyway.
Hearing about your trip in the heat is opposite to Dave's and Claire's Blog, they have just been to Antarctica in the freezing cold and ice! What a family I have got !!Have a great Christmas, and give my love to Brisbane if you get there love Grandma XX
Easy Looks like you guys are having a great time...........
Seems like I've held off putting a comment on your or Matt's blog for long enough..............
looks like everything is sound from your side.......Kev Williams is off to pastures new- he's becoming a city boy.
Wotcha Woolley Hey Mammoth! It's cool seeing you at the very places I stood not 6 months ago. Nice to see you're having somewhat better weather too... Milford p*ssed it down the 3 days we spent in the region! I trust you will be doing a skydive somewhere? I can thoroughly recommend 60 seconds of freefall plummetting towards the ground at 200 km/h from 15,000ft totally awesome mate !!!!
Enjoy the rest of your trip.

PS next time to you speak to Mark can you tell him to go **** himself ... and then say "Mince Pies." Thanks very much!
HOW WAS THE SUN IN FIJI? HI GARY, HOPE YOU GET A TANNED SKIN AS I GOT THIS SUMMER! EVEN IF YOU TOOK THE RAIN TO THE ISLANDS!!!! HAHAHA, IT'S A JOKE! ANYWAY, ENJOY BEACH AND PARTY TIME, PLEASE TAKE ME A COCONUT! IT'S FUNNY SEE YOU IN A TREE LIKE A MONKEY! :)) BEST REGARDS!
You party animal!! Enjoyed reading about your time on Fiji. It reminded me of the time we were all on Gili Trawangen together and kept bumping into other people we'd met previously. Sounds like you had more parties though!
Love the photos too! Mum
