Comments on life |
|
This needs to be seen in detail
... Roger's comment on life is
excellent! |
Usa says that only Neil would be
dumb enough to endanger his life for the sake of a job
----->
|
Neil was a suspected SARS case in
July |

Roger tried to cut his hair, but
it was uneven; we took him to a barber who had to cut it very
short; and then we needed a photo for a passport ...
<----- |
It looks a bit like Neil when he
had his hair cut short in 1998 |
| Phuket Holiday - in late July we went on
a holiday to the Thai island of Phuket; we originally planned this
for April (at Songkran), but we had to delay because of the SARS
outbreak. For other vacation photos, see our Disney
Cruise & California theme park

elephant after the elephant show |
Roger wanted a photo with this
snake & Rex decided to join; this is the zoo's Polaroid photo |
|
This is our photo; Rex was
terrified, but you'd never know by looking at the photo |
Rex moved away & Roger had a
photo with the snake by himself. |
Then the snake slipped a bit
& Roger said "hey, this snake it trying to constrict
me!" |
|
Dino-Park has a Flintstones car |

Rex takes a chance of being eaten

Day 4 - Speedboat tour to Phi Phi islands - where parts of the
recent movie "The Beach" were filmed |
|
Roger Rex & Mama on the boat |
Our speedboat (Timmie) at our
lunch spot |
The purpose of the day was snorkeling,
swimming & sightseeing |
|
One of our early scenic views;
limestone rocks jut out of the sea |
Amazingly clear water at the
entrance to "Viking's Cave" |
This cove had sand as smooth as
the bottom of a pool |
|
Same cove; we went swimming here |
A deeper part of the same cove |
This is Maya Bay, where scenes
from "The Beach" were set |
|
More limestone islands |
Back at the lunch place |
An afternoon storm |

Neil's changing hair style |

This is what Neil looked like
before & during Phuket |
But when he came back he decided
to ... |
... shave it off |
