More of a catch up post than anything else today I'm afraid, but I have been somewhat lacking in internet resources since leaving Bangkok and so there is a lot to catch up on. Tuesday 17th February: The final day of our trek! We woke up early (and freezing), ready to embark on the final stage of our journey... the one that didn't involve any walking!

So this will hopefully be a very very big post updating you all on everything that's happened since then. Which, believe me, is a lot. Saturday 14th February: After our return from the zoo, my taxibus adventure to the mall with Jasmin, and my much needed net time, we had another group meeting to meet the newest members of our group: th...

Thursday: After I finished my net time on thursday I had my Intrepid trip meeting. Met up with some of the people from my trip (Hayley, Noel. Craig and Rong), and went out for some drinks/exploring on the Khao San Road with Craig. Got slightly drunk on 80baht cocktails at a mobile street bar. Friday: Was surprisingly unhung...
