Goodbye Bangkok and hello Sydney! After a long night flight we arrived in Sydney yesterday morning. Amazingly we went through customs very quickly. We were expecting a scene from 'Nothing to Declare'. We were able to move into our relatively large attic flat very quickly which is very nice and has views over the city. We explored the local area known as Surrey Hills which is lovely and very much like Brighton in a way. During the evening massive bats come out of ...

So back in Bangkok now and we decided to brave the protests and head into the city. It was a very easy journey into the city by train but my word was it horrible to walk around! We decided to head towards china town and then onto a temple but we only made it to china town in the end as it was very hot, dirty and absolutely mental.

He came and visited a second time when Richard thought it was a good idea to go and take a close up picture of it and the monkey got very angry, bared it's teeth and looked like it was going to attack! Apart from this it was an adorable little monkey, and we had been waiting to s...

After two flights we made it to Krabi which is very hot, around 37 degrees! After a very hot bus journey we made it to Ao Nang and our hotel. We are staying in a small bungalow in a beautiful resort which is surrounded by jungle and animals. So far we have seen peacocks, chickens, cockerels, rabbits, turkeys, squirrels, sheep, cows, tortoises and lots of random looking insects! All these just wander around the resort! The pool and food are also very nice and we h...
