Bangkok and the River Kwai



Bangkok temples










They are soo extremely beautiful










We thought this was a great picture!! Hehe

Sightseers!!
The bridge over the river kwai war museum..terry's grandad helped build this..he was a prisoner of war

The river Kwai










The bridge

A japanese train used on the bridge












You could go elephant riding...when we got there i nearly cried..elephants are now my favourite animals and should not be treated like this...they use ice picks as whips and hit them on the head..they all have scars..and chains...so sad we wanted to free them all. we didnt ride them just fed them up with bananas..so beautiful
Look how sad he looks

On the river Kwai..on a bamboo raft..was a little scary at first as the water was everywhere and it didnt look very float!

Check out the red hair!!



Dinner....getting good with the chopsticks now!

Very didgy bridge....it had planks missing.....and no more than 2 people per trip accross!!

You are both soooooo beautiful, relaxed and happy and having the time of your life!

The images you show us are picture perfect and I feel so sorry for the elephants they are my fav animal too and its a shame they are used in such a cruel way for selfish human greed and laziness!

Anyway enough on that one, love loads and missing you more, H xx

Hey guys, loving the pics as usual, I can imagine Tel with his super powerful zoom lens wanting to take pics of everything over there!

My new years resolution was to not spend as much time on internet at work..... so i'm doing well there!

Mine and Hayleys wedding is just over 4 months away now, which is kinda scary but hugely exciting too, and course you guys will be back!

Wish we coulda come out and visited you guys like AmandaLewis did, but who knows we might do (dont tell Hayley but im spending all our wedding savings on scratch cards!)

Peace out hippy folks x
