To eat or to throw in the Mekong,

that is the question

Dear  Mia and Saschi and The Stacys and The Maples
It is very hot here also. Yesterday I went to some caves. We got there on a motorbike and then a boat. We walked up lots of stairs. There were 100's of buddhas in the cave.
We crossed a river on a bamboo bridge.  It had bamboo railings and made creaking sounds.
You should try the coconutties. They are very yummy and sweet. I might try and make them when I come home and share them with you.
This morning on the car ferrry a woman gave my brother a wasp larvae to eat. He gobbled it up. I threw mine in the Mekhong. Mummy tried it and said it tassted like creamy pineapple. The larvae were still in the nest!
I waswalking on the foreshore of the Mekhong. And I found 'a trophy' buried in the sand. Mum was scared and said it was a bomb. We all ran away. We are going to the information centre to learn more about UXO's - unexploded ordinances- and see if it was really one. Mum now thinks it probably wasn't.
Love to you all. I wish you were here.
