    Hi Fred,

    Hope you are well and still loving life in Arugam Bay. That was really weird, I was just having a look at this website remeniscing about the summer of fun in A-Bay we all had last year and suddenly saw lots of my photo’s in the gallery!! I wondered how the site had got hold of them and then after reading your name I then remembered I had given you some photo’s in your internet shop….very random!! Well Jono are I are still on our travels, since we left sri lanka in Auguust we have been all through south east asia, myanmar, china and we are now currently in Oz, tearing up the east coast in our van surfing at every single spot, its great!! I hope to be back in a-bay one day, It definatly holds some of the greatest memories of my trip so far and cant wait to get back and see everyone again. seeing the picture of Ram made me smile, say hi to him for me please.

    Ok, well take care, I hope the Siam is going well and good luck for next season!!

    all the best

    matt.
