Animal Crackers

We have now finished our three weeks of hard labour in the animal rescue centre and are now enjoying some well earned luxury in Bangkok for a few days before moving on to Cambodia. The time we spent with the animals was an extremely rewarding experience and we learnt several very interesting things:-

1. The alarm clock needs to be positioned INSIDE the mosquito net (learnt on the first morning).
2. NEVER trust a monkey.
3. Whoever said “hard work never hurt anybody” was telling fibs (after shovelling the poo from numerous animals, climbing in and out of cages, scrubbing pools clean and various other tortures, we ache in places you couldn’t imagine).
4. The animal with the smelliest poo by a long way (and also the cutest, most playful and most intelligent animal we encountered) was Ollie the otter.

Butter wouldn't melt

After dealing with the long armed gibbons and killer bears the landmines in Cambodia should be a doddle!

    HI guys!

    Be sure to report on the “animal” scenes in Bangkok won’t you? (on stage for real!)

    Make sure you go to the King’s Palace (or was it the Queen’s)!

    Check out Jim Morrison’s house, well, it wasn’t him, but a name very similiar and eat a “local” pad thai………..or else your just “chicken!”

    Love and hugs, Jacks
