We haven't written in a while so I thought I'd just cover the rest of israel in one entry. We celebrated Shaun's 19the birthday in a very relaxed fashion with dinner out with Hilton, Rosemary and Yael Licht (Shaun's cousins) and then a trip to Max Brenner in the port of Tel Aviv which was delectable as ever. We spent the next couple of days just hanging out in Tel Aviv and enjoying the Israeli summer on the beach and the surrounding streets. It was well and ...

So off we went on the coach to Luton which was about 1.5 hrs. The bus trip was lovely with rolling countryside waking up for the day.

The train arrived about an hour and a half late into Bangkok. We checked into our hotel and were given complementary drinks at the hotel's lounge because We knew the duty manager (long story - Shaun knows her from Marriott Australia). We had swim and rest and decided to go see Hangover 2 - fitting since the movie is set here in Thailand (specifically Bangkok). After the movie we had a look around the large new shopping centre and then went to chill out out the ho...
