A Final Note of Gratitude To Our Dear Friends in SE Asia

To Thailand: Kop kun ka/kawp mak mak

For the beautiful beaches, the climbing, the markets; for fantastic foods, bustling Bangkok, and, best of all, a warm place to feel at home (thanks Ginger, Jana and Lisa).

To Cambodia: Ow kun

The Temples of Angkor were magnificent. The roads were bumpy. Driving was stunningly scenic (if you're into rice paddies and water buffaloes). The people were welcoming. And the bicycles... Brilliant.

And Last, but certainly not least, to Laos: Kop Jai Lai Lai

To Gina and the Novotel, for accomodating our poshie tendencies.
To our travelling companions, Jana and Ginger, for who you are.
To the gorgeous landscape, for taking our breath away.
To Dramamine, for taking the edge off the windy bus rides through majestic mountain passes.
To Vang Vieng, for facilitating all our aquatic adventures.
To Jai Dee, for facilitating all our lao lao adventures.
To the Organic Farm, for hosting us during a pleasant afternoon bicycle ride.
To the French, for introducing good coffee and fresh baguettes to Lao.
To Luang Prabang, for lazy days and night markets.

And one more thing...

Thank you so much to all of you, our friends and family, for reading this blog, for thinking of us and for checking up on our travels. It's a long trip we've been on, so far away from home, and it's nice to know that you're all back there following along with us.

Love,
Jij and Claire

PS We'll be home soon...
