One horn, two horns etc. mean different things in india.
i.e. one horn, "Watch, I am here".
two horns etc. etc.
Used to be the same in UK, until we became over controlled.

Sounds like you are having a great time. Lovely to hear how you are getting on. Trust you to think of chocolate! Sure you'll make up for it when you get back. Old tea bags are good for the sunburn!!! Probably give you a good brown tinge to the skin too - will add to the tan!!
Catch up soon
Love

Matt,
Can't believe that you've been gone so long already! "Hot" and "sticky" sounds just like it's been here for the last week or so, but we're beginning to chill too now.

Have a great adventure. Looking forward to hearing more. Keep in touch.
Love Lynnx more…

SIGHTS UNKNOWN WILL UNFOLD BEFORE HIM
MATTHEW IS TRAVELLING TO A FAR DISTANT LAND
NOW KNOWING THAT LIFE IS NOT A WHIM
HE WILL RETURN A MUCH WISER MAN

NO MACDONALD'S CAN HE RELY ON
CADBURY'S HAVE NOT TRAVELLED SO FAR
JUST VINDALOO, KORMA OR MAYBE A ROGAN
HIS SOUL HE WILL GIVE FOR A MARS BAR
