Asia earthquake
90% of the places we have visited in the last month have been affected by the tsunami and flooding. with casualty numbers increasing by the hour.
we are shocked to realise that we escaped tradegy ourselves by getting a train out of danger. we planned to say farewell to the beach the morning of the disaster, however, fi was ill...
we just want to say that our thoughts are with the people and families that we have met along the way that will have been affected.. livelihoods and property.. including morgan, the fisherman, and anna the angel, in kanyakumari.. the latter where 1000 people were swept off the beach into the sea.

Glad you and Fi are ok mate. We were worried when we heard. It is a terrible disaster and we are all glad you have managed to avoid it. Thoughts to everyone affected. It certainly puts a different perspective on everything. Take care Alex and Rachel and James.

What a dreadful time your part of the world is having. The dead figure is up in the 20,000 mark now. I don't know how they will ever know the full numbers.
The gods were looking down on you but you must feel devastated about it. It is bad enough watching it on TV here. I am afraid it must have put a damper on your trip.

Thank God you're both OK. I heard about it on the news yesterday but couldn't get to a computer until today. The scenes on the news were horrific and it must be worse for you, having been to the places affected. My step brother lives in Thailand and always spends christmas in Phuket but luckily, this year, he'd gone to the east coast instead. We were obviously relieved when we heard from him! I'm glad I can stop worrying about you two as well now!

Hi there Monkey and Rat,
so glad you are both OK after the tsunami. Pearline told me on my first day back at work she'd read your weblog and seen that you were safe. I had sent you a text around 27th Dec but its most likely you didnt get it.
Been busy back here at work. First game of footie for the new year last Saturday so i am feeling stiff today.
Enjoy your travels. Go monkeyrats go!
