A quick update before christmas. Laos continued to go well and we even managed to get tickets for the opening ceremony of the SEA games (South East Asia Games) in Vientiane and saw Malaysia beat Cambodia in soccer.
On flying into Kuala Lumpur then Langkawi, the heat and humidity really hit you. Good to catch up on family and then flew into UK. Left Langkawi in 36 degrees celcius, landed into London at 0 degree celcius, a real shock to the system but there was more to come, we got snowed in in Aspenden staying with a friend's mother, 7 inches of snow fell and we had to cancel our trip to Hartlepool on the North East Coast of England as we couldn't leave the house, England almost came to a halt with very beautiful and pictureaque but so cold.
Currently on route to Banbury and then down to Cornwall for xmas and new year, from here we have no idea where we are going but now have 8.5 months to work out our way down to Cape Town before flying back to Australia.
We would like to wish you all a very happy christmas and all the best for 2010, and please keep the messages and comments coming in and let us know if you want to join us en route in 2010.
ps. we got a UK mobile number. it's +44 7758 013 795
