I woke up this morning, and realised that I was eleven! Once I got everybody up, it turned out that my mum and dad had got me a card, and Evan had drawn me a picture. At seven o’clock a mini-van pulled up outside and we all piled in to head to Cham Island,, Read More
The Dark Cave in Phong Nha, Vietnam is ‘Suitable for all ages’. At least that’s how the blurb about the Phong Nha National Park Tour described it. Perfect for Sam (11), Evan (9), Megan (8) and Fraser (5). And indeed, the first half of the day proved to be entirely fine being educational and, Read More

A Smug Monday post by Evan (aged 9) Today’s Smug Monday was started on a Sunday when we went to Negombo in Sri Lanka. We found our hotel and then drove in our car (dirty Fenny) to the beach. I can only say one thing about the beach, it was crowded. I know why, Read More
