We have finally arrived in the land down under following an epic journey especially for Kyle who travelled 36 hours on 4 different planes. When I met him in Bangkok I was expecting a monster to greet me but he was fine, he has done so well. We have seen very little of Adelaide today as by the time we got here we were both exhausted and needed a nap. Although we ventured out this evening to find food which ended up being KFC. The hostel is ok I think kyle was a...

I have finally arrived in Bangkok after 13 hours of flying, 3 international airports, one very long wait in immigration and a drunken German. I have never been so pleased to have a shower and see a bed. So my day started with leaving Heathrow, checking in my backpack and praying to God that it would turn up to Bangkok and hopefully in one piece ( after the horror stories the check in assistant was telling me about cutting off straps and them busting open).
