Vipassana

Hi again,

We're back safely in Bangkok after a not very private but surprisingly comfortable and loooong train journey from Trang. Tonight we will be leaving for Ayuthaya, Thailand's previous capital before Bangkok, which is supposed to be full of old temples and beautiful sights.

Tomorrow is a rather big day for us - our 7 year anniversary (!!!) so we plan on getting pampered with massages and some more chilling out. And the following day we are going to Khon Kaen, further north, where we will start a 10 day Meditation retreat! The course we will be doing is called Vipassana (check out http://www.dhamma.org/ for more info), and it involves Meditating all day from 4 in the morning in complete silence! It's not a religious thing in any way - the aim of the "course" is to bring clarity of mind and strengthen the link between mind and body. ( Oh no... we've gone all new agey!!) So it should be a thoroughly interesting experience amd can't wait to tell you all about it afterwards.

So for the 11 days from 6th October we will be uncontactable, seeing as we will be on some random hill meditating all day (hahah!) So please don't panic if we don't reply to emails or our blog isnt getting updated! The course should finish on 18th October and we will get back in touch as soon as possible after that, as new refreshed and revitalised people!

Lots of love from us both!
