Hè Aran, wat gezellig om jullie verhalen te horen. Ik denk dat de Chinese regenwouden wel weer weg zullen zijn. Gelukkig kunnen jullie snorkelen, drinken en geinen met elkaar. We zijn benieuwd naar de resterende weken . Ik hoor wel weer van jullie. Over 2,5 dagen zijn dochterlief en vriend weer terug, maar jullie hebben nog zoveel tijd....:) -
