We're here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

---

Hello everyone,

After a fairly gruelling 11 hour flight through the night - not helped by my (Helen) regretful decision to watch Sex and The City followed by Mamma Mia (why did she marry him and what...? respectively) - Dave and I have been rewarded by a room that is, essentially, a prison cell. A clean prison cell though. With air conditioning. And a safety deposit box. Not so bad afterall then.

We arrived at the airport and got a taxi to the hostel. Then after a quick shower went on the scrouge for food. We found a nice little restaurant down the road and I had pad thai with a beer called Chang, Dave some pork dish with rice. Both were really, really good. Especially with the ground peanuts, fish sauce, sugar and chilli flakes that we were encouraged to sprinkle generously over the top. I think I'm going to like this country...

Now we're back at the hostel and looking forward to going to bed. Albeit on prison-presciption hard mattresses.

Sleep tight,

Helen & Dave xxx

Haircut
I knew you'd get it all taken off - good choice. I know this won't help now but I have seen today, for sale in the Grafton, the travel pillows that Helen was after - how annoying is that! Enjoy fun times - we'll miss you!
