Wow - sounds amazing! I have been to Vietnam and absolutely fell in love with the people but couldn't get over to Cambodia. We were just in the Phillippines and it was exactly the same..The poverty and corruption, it all comes down to greed. It starts at the top and filters down which really sux. It has obviously been a moving experience....

I'm sure I wouldn't be able to swallow things like fried insects etc if I knew what they were, though I can understand the locals if they are hungry, each to his own. It must have been upsetting to see the war relics, and walk over the 'killing fields'. Ron sounds as though he is doing a grand job. XX

Hey guys, i read the book damage done and it really got to me, but i love to learn about these places and the history of it all, you have to be brave to look past the sorrow and pain these people go through ;( Like the idea of charity, sounds like Ron is a hero!!

Goodness me, you two are going to be the best dressed pair in Norfolk with all those clothes! Hope they didn't make them to tight in case you put on any weight when you get home, especially you James as you must have lost some with all the tum upsets. You will have to build extra wardrobes when you get back. XX

sounds like my idea of heaven, i have to go there one day, will start collecting pics of clothes i want now! ;)

Pleased to hear you've both got your appitites back, (for good I hope). I can just imagine you both on the Jet Ski, good job he waved the flag, or goodness knows where you'd have ended up! Love XX

Hi you two and nanna, thought I might have beaten you today nanna, do you sleep with your computer on your lap and have an alert when Kaori and James have updated aren't we sad we need to get a life I think, obviously the blog is so important to hear the fantastic news and wishing we were there but.... I am going to Wells and don't try and stop me Ha! Ha!. K Samui sounds wonderful' it was so good to hear your voice Kaori and that you made it out of China just in time, those poor people.Travelling around Thailand next please take loads of piccys as we are rather keen on visiting Thailand at a later date. Keep safe and have fun xxx

wow, your blogs are coming through thick and fast. i really liked ko samui too but this is where jodie fell down the waterfall so we had a few scary moments there too. i can still remember sticking my feet right into the sand when we had dinner on the beach, fabulous!!

Gill I agree with you I think Nanna gets the most consistent and regular comment maker! Kaori that would be fab if you think you may be cured of motion sickness problems, get you reading on a bus like a seasoned traveller. xxxxx

Just a PS to Gill and J

and yet another comment bites the dust, getting lost on route!!

Wish I was there!!

Oh poor you Kaori, what a state to be in. James you weren't getting your own back with a 'sicky spell' were you? Ha Ha. No it isn't a joke to feel so rotten I know. Half last comment not there, so hope this goes through. Take care, Love XX

Yuk nothing worse than a dodgy stomach hope that you are well again now xx

Oh no poor you, that'll teach you for eating with your hands!!

Looks like you've been following in the footsteps of the stars no less. I would think seeing anything that relates to any war is traumatic, but from what I remember of the Vietnam one, it was terrible to hear what the "peasants" had to go through to survive. Pleased to hear your tum is better James. Love XX

You must have been very relieved to get off that train..YUK! The m.bike ride sounds good, even if you were exposed to all elements. Hope you feel better without the M pills James. I can picture you both walking around in a sit down position after all the travelling! Love XX

Hanoi sounds like a real hotch potch of good

Sorry my comment got lost again, I did send more honest!!

Now this is better, makes up for the last stop, sounds really lovely. I won't try to guess what the stalagmites look like my memory isn't so good!!! Love XX

This one doesn't sound like a place you would recommend, and the table manners would put me off eating.You probably tense up when coming to borders without realising, in caase you are missing a Visa or something, then when you relax after everything is released!! Good job not premanent. XX

It certainly has been one long adventure, doing so many different things and not just as a tourist, as I doubt they see the real people like you have. I expect you are longing for some good old bangers and mash or similar aren't you James, your poor tum has suffered hasn't it? Love XX
