hey just a quicky to say that we've pretty much come to the end of our first leg now and we're headoing off to australia tonight. SE Asia has been great fun experiencing compleetely different ways of life and some real natural beauties like koh phi phi and taman negara along the way. The differences between the less developed Thailand and Singapore are very obvious and i'm liking being 'back in civilisation' somewhat. Singapore is just so clean and despite bei...

So we finally got the train after what was an 8 hour wait for it, of which 3-4 was spent sittin in KFC and the rest on the platform at the station. It was Hell!

It is pretty...

The picture to accompany this blog has nothing to do at all with the place we are in, Hat Yai. Anyways its been about a week since the last blog and that week was spent just on Koh Samui! For the first few days we just relaxed as travelling around for 2 weeks solid took its toll. for the next few we hired mopeds and toured the island, which was fun although a little scary as Bobby likes to drive at what seams a ridiculous speed, and weaving through traffic is pre...
