A Day on the Dunes
As you know we're in Mui Ne...we just keep staying and avoiding getting to the madness that awaits us in Saigon!!
So back to Mui Ne: one of it's touristie things is that it has these gorgeous red sandunes so Chris and I decide to hire a motorbike and do our own tour to them for less than half the price of an organised tour.
Riding on the bike was great fun! Chris' days on Koh Samet are long gone and he is now pretty confident and safe (that's for you Papa!)so off we set to the Red Dunes.
When we arrive it isn;t the romantic peaceful arrival we'd imagined...Nope! There's about 100 kids from 3 years to 15 waiting to offer us their slides! Oh My God!!! It was insane!! Chris was trying to chain up the bike for about 15 minutes but couldn't because the kids where literally on his back! It was a bit like a re-occurring nightmare I had as a kid!
So eventually we did what all other tourists do (we found out observing later)we payed them to go away and watch the bike we didn't manage to chain up!
Anyway the dunes where great once we got the tranquility. It was just like being in the desert (just as hot too!). We then remembered Harry and a photo he was very proud of from his travels and we decided to recreate it in his honour.
Here is Chris' effort - pretty much identical and he is even wearing the same fishing pants! (Thank God they didn't fall down and flash the kids!!)
Then I had a few goes but...they where less than gracefull! Sarah Helm will recognise the lunatic look from when she used to get in the MG with me!
And then Chris became an excitable labrador and did any possible stunt he could on the dunes whilst I crawled around behind him with the camera dying of heat exhaustion! Guess that's just another wife test!!
And here he is!

It all looks amazing and the dune jumping looks exactly like the Harry picture. Well done on eating snake, i would never give myself a challenge like that, very impressed (and feeling a bit sick)!
Keep up the good work on the website and look forward to more stories soon.
Harry's b'day tomorrow, going out with a few friends for dinner on Sat night at La Rueda. You guys will be sorely missed.

Nice one, for some reason (something bizzare in my past) the pictures reminded me of the banana splits, can you remember them ?
Four banana, three banana, two bananas, one
All bananas playing in the bright warm sun
Flipping like a pancake, popping like a cork,
Fleagle, Bingo, Drooper and Snork
Making up a mess of fun
Making up a mess of fun
Lots of fun for everyone
Tra la la, la la la la, Tra la la, la la la la
Tra la la, la la la la, Tra la la, la la la la
Keep flipping.........
All the best
Andy

Don't Remember the banana song, although it sounds good, and you should keep singing it in your head Andy.
Harry & G - Why don't you get your white ass out here for a week in Southern Thailand.
Ruth - we forgot about the dark thing - thanks for reminding us.
