Cambodian sand filters-Corus doing good.

Here's one for the piping department Romney and Clive!

Just a photo from our snorkelling (you liar Craig).


Well, Craig finally spent his leaving collection on something good. He spent it on 2 sand filters which have just been commissioned to two different villages in Cambodia. One of these went to Chong Khneas village, the floating village around Tonle Sap Great lake and the other one went to the remote village school for children named Tbeng village. Here are the pictures that we got sent by Trailblazer.

Travel plan

Well, we've finished our sailing course and Rachel knows the difference between a fisherman's knot and a bowline. We are now competent crew so if anyone has a spare ship out there that wants sailing we're ready. Chuckle.
Having a few lazy days on the beach before we go back to Bangkok on Thursday. Been nice to recharge the batteries and now we're ready for the cities again. Managed to fit a few massages in too. Highly recommended.
The next plan is on to Bangkok to see some Thai boxing and visit the bridge over the River Kwai. We're picking our Indian visa up on Friday and then we will arrange a flight to Bombay to say hello to Mr Ta ta. And it will be Ta ta to Thailand (bad joke Craig).
Planning to spend one month in India researching where Craig's grandad Oswald was posted in the 1930's in the army for 7 years. Might see a few lookalikes! Then it's off to Nepal for a month to see the 'Him ar lee as' (Is that the correct pronunciation Mozza?!) We'll call in on Mr Ta ta and tell him what a sterling job you do in steel house!
Planning to head back to Guisy for November and hopefully for Christmas so don't forget us on the Christmas invites.
