Mandurah 10/12/06 – 24/01/07I've been in Mandurah for quite some time now so I guess I'd better write an update on what I've been up to since I've been here. I arrived in Perth early in December after spending 3 weeks in Adelaide with my Aussie family. I was picked up at the airport by my cousins who have just emigrated over here and whisked back to their gaff in Mandurah. Mandurah is about an hours drive south of Perth for those of yo...

 I arrived in Adelaide around 0520 after spending 9 hours or so on a coach, my least favorite form of travel.  When I arrived I was greeted by my cousin Yvette and her fiancée Dave (Wild Dog) and they took me back to their farm in Middleton about an hour away where I met Dash and Jay Jay. The latter spent 2 days barking at me until I gave him a treat and decided he liked me. I spent a few days catching up with my family before I headed ...

It was a busy three days in Chiang Mai for me.  It wasn't quite as humid as Bangkok in the actual city but it was a great big sweat fest in the jungle.  I had three days here and I had a lot to pack into them but managed to do everything I wanted to.  I had a ride on an elephant (no not Jon's mum Billy) one of the days.  I was going to sit on Dumbo's neck but once I saw the steep hills the poor b***** had to go up and down I though...
