Routine flights - except of course for the obligatory [for a Parry] race to the most distant departure gate at Dubai. First announcement we heard was 'Final call for Emirates Flight 372 to Bangkok', resulting in a subsequent headlong rush to Gate 222 - that would have been an interesting few minutes if [the soon to be centenarian] Big M had been...

We have spent the last several days laying around the beaches of Khao Lok (pronounced COW LOCK). This beautiful section of Thailand's SW coast lies on the Andaman Sea. The whole area consists of several beaches actually connected by periodic rock outcrops separating each coral beach section. The whole set of combined beaches runs for several mil...

E' figlio di uno dei capitani delle barche con cui si fanno le crociere. Quando era piccolo suo padre se lo portava appresso in immersione quando si fermava con la ba...

Hello everyone, Sorry for the delay - we've been very busy the last few weeks. Anyhoo, so what next?

This offers both us and you, poor and used reader, a much needed break.

Yogyarkarta, Indonesia, June 07 4. Dalat, Vietnam...

12 Mar 06 - 18 Mar 06 Finally some beach time! We dropped our bags in the room in Khao Lak (on the coast of Andaman sea) after a short flight from Bangkok to Phuket and a long minivan trip. Khao Lak was one of the most destroyed area after the tsunami - the village was struck by a 16 m high wave!!! Day after day the reconstruction is progressing...
