Letters from Thailand

Monday 7 July 2008:

Well another day has gone, today we did a tour round the tourist places like the tiger, monkey and elephant places, didn't want to get too close to the tigers, they are really bigcats, the monkeys did quite a few good tricks but the elephants were pretty amazing, they played soccer sort of and were really good at painting pictures. Rose and Mike went for an elephant ride but I was just too chicken. Its raining lightly now and I've just had a nice swim in the pool to freshen up.Planning a lazy day tomorrow and may get the massage done by the prison girls, they also run a bakery so that might be quite interesting.Then Wednesday we're flying down to Phuket for a week or so.Hope all is going well in NZ, love from the land of smiles, Christina.

No problems on the plane, just a bit jetlagged still. Rose has got us some nice rooms to stay in an apartment building with a good pool which we went for a swim in straightaway.We are seeing the dentist today to see what needs to be done on the teeth. Hot and humid, traffic chaotic but I think we're fine. And great to see Rose.
