Happy Birthday Justin!

Yesterday was Justin’s 34th Birthday! Yeah!!! We celebrated in a fairly mellow manner, which suited us just nicely. We treated ourselves to a day of treats from the ‘Western world;’ Ice cream at Dairy Queen, a movie with popcorn at a deluxe Bangkok cinema followed by a great sushi meal, yum! And then he finished off the night with a lovely Cuban cigar and a touch of whisky. All of this might have been pretty run of the mill if we were back in the UK or Canada, but after almost 4 months of travelling, this was great stuff. The ‘tuk-tuk’ ride back to our hotel was pretty insane. For those of you who aren’t familiar with a tuk-tuk, they' are 3 wheeled vehicles with seats and a small 'go cart' like engine. We refered to them in India as ‘autorickshaws’. Anyway, here they are pimped out with bright lights, pink leather and painted multi-colours and are much much faster than those in India. Our driver drove fast and furiously, dodging through traffic and even doing wheelies!! We held on tight and enjoyed the ‘tuk-tuk’ ride of our lives, while others pointed and laughed at us and our crazy driver. It was fab.

new photos have been posted in 'Thailand' link above

cheers!

hey Justone Happy Birthday! The photo totally, cracked me up. Jeffone, has taken the place of Justone. It would be funnier if I had taken a picture of Jeff as of yesterday, you see he has been growing his hair, just like Justone, and has been trying to grow a mustache and beard, just like Justone. Very funny. I will have to find you a photo.

Love the blog and miss you the both of you lots. Enjoy your adventure. - The lady Gin and boys
