So after our amazing couple of days in Bangkok we started our mammoth journye to cambodia, which involved train, taxi, bus and tuk tuk...the only thing left missing was the moped and that definately wasn't going to happen! We wandered down to the train station just before 6, feeling very sleepy, booked our ticket and made the first mistake of handing this over to a fake and very drunken train official who tried to run off with it! Fortunately for us a very brisk ...

After our stress with bus tickets the day before we luckily managed to hail down a lovely taxi driver who delivered us to the bus station the next morning and bundled us on to the correct bus bound for phuket, this was after telling us all about his 6 kids and the fact he was 45 years old - me and katy were absolutely gobsmacked since he only looked about 20 and rather attractive with it!

So... after an uneventful ferry journey where we saw no dolphins and we both caught up on our sleep we arrived on the South Island! We headed to Picton where we were spending the night to find that there was not a lot going - another tiny town! We had bit of an issue with our bus out of Picton- one of us was leaving the next day, the other couldn't fit! oops!
