We finally left Phi Phi on the 22nd December and headed to Phuket for one night in order to catch a flight to Singapore the next day and then catch our flight to Sydney.

It was our very last night in South East Asia so I felt quite emotional reflecting on the past 7 weeks and remembering all the amazing things we had done. Thinking back to the first couple of weeks after leaving home, it seems so long ago.. but it also feels just like yesterday. I have met some really great people and I was so lucky to travel South East Asia with one of my best friends, Hannah, and our personal SatNav and party boy, Fenning. We made a great team and it worked out perfectly as we shared a 3 bed room in most places, which was good for the bank balance! Not so good for the bank balance though was the amount of booze we drank. I blame this on Fenning!!
