Day 66 ctd - Back on the mainland we had lunch and a much needed ice drink before catching the coach for the long drive back to Bangkok. En route we stopped off at a massive food market / service station for some bad fried rice (good to see service station food quality is the same worldwide!) and managed to watch Prince of Persia, Clash of the Titans, Salt, and the A-Team (again!). After finding another Sawasdee Inn Olivia went for some last minute shopping and a drink with Ellena and Maria while Catherine sorted out the bus for the next day and after a LOT of hunting round hotels and bars located her lovely birthday card from her parents that had been kindly delivered by Tim but since passed around half of Bangkok it seemed!

Day 67 - With an early flight we caught the bus to the airport and had an interesting last drive through Bangkok's amazing buildings. Although there was no in-flight entertainment the ravioli was nice enough (though not the tiramisu) and we sat under our nice purple blankets until we arrived in Singapore.
