So far so good. The biggest mishap we've had is me eating Bec's dinner by mistake. Hey, the lady brought the food to me and I thought the meat looked like pork rather than the chicken I'd ordered but guessed that was down to my dodgy Manc-Thai, so I tucked in until Bec's food arrived and it was mine. Unlucky Bec.

As we've been to Bangkok before we've found it quite easy to use the riverboats, skytrain and public buses rather than tuk tuks and taxis. So when the tuk tuk driver told us there were no river boats today we smiled as we knew it was a scam to use his service. Oh how cute are we? We know all the tricks, until we read the notice on the pier that said that as the Navy were practising manouevres today there were no boats. Message: don't be cynical all the time. So we got a tuk tuk with our tail between our legs and humbled.

We were awake last night (due to jet lag rather than still being out partying) when we received a text from Ste to tell us about the birth of Rebecca Oliver. Great news and congratulations to Ste, Cath, Ems and Hannah. By the way Ste, this is a blog.

Thanks to Helene and Tracy for your messages. Keep them coming H or we'll put the pic of you up from the airport!

Take care everyone and keep me updated with any world cup news. This is my 4th straight world cup out of the country.

Cheers Gav and Bec
