Well - where do I start!! At the beginning I suppose but there is so much to say I just wish I could type faster (Megs!!!) OK we left Bangkok on yet another very hot day and had quite a lot of hanging around but the day was good. The flight was brilliant, we both really enjoyed it. The Aussie staff were really good fun and the whole atmosphere of the plane was excellent. It was an 8 hour flight and it was quite strange as once we had dinner - then complimentary d...

This is our last day in Phutek and we have to get up really early in the morning to get the bus to the train station (5 Hours) and then to wait for the sleeper train (god bless the sleeper train!) to take us back to Bangkok. Day & overnight in Bangkok then off to airport for Aussie. Den not looking forward to the travelling but sure once we're on the move she will love it!
