Thailand again. Home of pad thai, Phuket, packed minibuses, ping pong shows, party islands, papaya and Pattaya. We were here for Khao Sok. The national park situated in and around Cheow Larn lake. The day was spent in Bangkok gorging ourselves with delicacies such as curried noodle soup, papaya salad and coconut cakes. We treated ourselves to a massage for 3 quid until we had to hit the road at 6 that night to Surat Thani. From there we would be picked up by num...

We find a place right on the beach just outside Narooma. We spend Christmas day with wallabies, goannas, Roos and a deserted beach at sunrise. We have...
