The mountains call and I must go.

Laura entitled one of her photos this, as her Mum ( Kathy) said that's the name for your blog.  We spoke to Alec & Laura  for the first time since they left Blighty at the end of June, it was good to hear them and to talk to Alec even though the connection wasn't good. If you remember the comedian Norman Collier with his dodgy microphone gag then you'll know what I mean. if you don't know what I mean google it!
Sounds like they are living the dream, the photos they have posted are awesome, only attached one here of a sunset from an island  off the coast of Vietnam. This is their third country to date. They started in Thailand then Cambodia now Vietnam next country will be Laos.  The tunnels used by the Viet -Cong during their protracted war are now a tourist attraction! The pair of them have travelled many hours by train, plane, boat and bus not to mention moped! Animals checked off their list have been snakes, elephants, big spiders, monkeys, & as Alec put it 'Cows roaming everywhere.' Though Alec reckons  they are not on holiday because they've had to be up & out very early for connections etc...........Still sounds like a holiday to me! It was so good to hear from them, we have missed both Alec & Laura  like I cannot say, they seem to have met up with a few Europeans doing a similar trip to them & have kept in contact as they travel so can exchange information. By the way beer it 20p a pint though I expect it's just fizz! Alec says Laura has many books to write her blog in but doesn't know where to start, I hope she does soon. Alec is going to phone a gain when the get to Hanoi the capital where hopefully internet connection will be better.
They really are living the dream!
