Well what an experience!! Amazing photos and video and you both look lovely - nice hair cut Steve.... You were really out in the middle of the jungle there weren't you. The paintings on the loo and shower looked a bit out of place!! I bet Steve is happier tonight although even I found myself sitting on the edge of my seat!! We hope you are both feeling better - take it easy for a few days. lots of love xxxxx

Hi Joan
Wow, but what a shame your video didn't come out. It must've been an amazing experience to see that. There was a little bit of truth twisting going on in the latest. Don't worry my sense of danger is working, a little too hard when it comes to the bugs! Lots of love xxx
