Hi Everyone!
We are now in Malaysia after spending a couple of days in the south of Thailand. We went to where "The Beach" was filmed in Maya Bay on the PhiPhi Islands but it rained most of the day which was very disappointing! We thought Malaysia would be sunnier (as we are heading further down South all the time!) But it seems like we've brought the weather with us as it it chucking it down and the sky is grey & miserable!! Luckily we are only at this hotel for 1 more night (as the air con is broken & our toilet floor is flooded...travelling doesn't seem quite so luxurious after all eh!!) We have been bitten alive again so tonight I think I may risk being cooked alive & sleep in my cotton sleeper!!
Tomorrow we head to.....(somewhere else in Malaysia!) I have just asked everyone who is sitting at the computers and no-one actually knows!! but we are praaaaying for some sunshine as there isn't much to do in the hotel or this area!!!
We went out on our last night in Thailand on Wednesday & somehow ended up in the "ladyboy" bars - although it turned out to be a really good laugh!! We requested Sean Kingston - Me Love & it reminded us of home, ahhh :o( We also met a young girl who was only 16...she was dancing with us and we were all having a really good time although she let it slip that her parents had sold her at 16 to become a prostitute because they needed the money & she wasn't sure where she was going to stay from one night to the next...it was really heart-breaking and made you realise just how lucky you are!! She was soooo sweet yet had to grow up so quickly...
I will have to keep this blog short & sweet but I will update it at the next opportunity! :0)
Let me know what is going on back home, miss you all lots!

ReplyDeleteAll ok here,cold and plenty of rain. I have handed in the caravan keys, so that has taken a lot of pressure off of me.
Allan and boys seem to be ok. George soon to be in his 'make over' bedroom.Allan has built a wardrobe decorated etc etc, looking good. Rememberance sunday coming and expect the boys will be in uniform marching through Denham village, i will try to go and see them. Well my love, take care, love to you and Ceri. Nannyxxxx

Hello my long lost little Malaysian friend!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry it has taken me so long to find you on here- having a few problems with my internet so using Mum and Dad's.
It's so lovely to read what you have been up to and it sounds AMAZING (in the words of Cheryl!!)
The bit about the ladyboy bar is hilarious!!!!!! Have you ever thought about a career as an author???? You make very good reading!
We miss you loads- keep safe and have fun.
Love you lots
Hannah and Matt
