We have finally been safely restored to the sanity, luxury and wifi wonderfulness of Bangkok. Phew. Being in Burma and trying to get online was like ye olden days of Amstrad computers and dial up modems, plus a lot of sites were just plain blocked. Weirdly I could occasionally log on to Facebook, but no such luck buying capitalist pro…
We're back! (Or should that be, we've gone again? I know - hard to keep up isn't it, particularly if you've not been paying attention, yes you at the back there). This time the trip is bigger, better and, hopefully, more thrilling than any of the other paltry attempts at travelling. Oh yeah. Hold tight, this year we are off to Kathmandu, Bhutan, Varanasi, Rajasthan, Thailand and Burma. Our bags are packed and we're raring to go. Brian has been forced to jettison 42 of his best loved…

Hold tight, this year we are off to Kathmandu, Bhutan, Varanasi, Rajasthan, Thailand and Burma. Our bags are packed and we're raring to go. Brian has been forced to jettison 42 of his best loved t-shirts in order to keep our weight limit to an acceptable level (and leave sufficient room for the odd trinket or six). Oh yes, and the mother in law is joining us in Thailand. Yes again. 'Gaynor you are a martyr and a saint' I hear you cry. I cannot disagree......

Great blog as always O'Bills. You must have enough for the book by now. I have sometimes thought I would like to visit Burma. My father fought in the Royal Artillery based at Impal. He always said the locals were very friendly.

Wendy
poor old Bri I'm sure there's not much sympathy going around. Didn't he only recover from a bit of a sniffle shortly before you went away? Still at least he can't smell that ensuite cess pool, ah the benefits that come with sickness...
Bart
At last I've got your blog and I've discovered whats happend; its been going into junk mail! I know you've been worried about it so I thought I'd let you know.
Whats Nicole's mother like? Nick wants to know.
Get well, tell Bri to have a couple of brandies. xx

Hi Brian and Gaynor
Bart would like me to send you a moaning message that he has not been included in the list of people that receive your blog. I did explain that there could be a reason for this but also offered to send him the e-mail address, but no he wants you to include him.
Hope that you are enjoying yourself. The weather here, just so you can feel a bit better is cold, wet and very windy. Apart from that it is lovely.
Happy New Year
Kay xx
