Hi from hot and Sticky Bangkok, We finally decided to leave Koh Phi Phi, if it wasn't for visas we might have stayed a bit longer. Its a very special place, being able to help out a little and the friendship of the locals and other volunteers made it one of the most memorable parts of the trip. We decided to splash out 30 quid each for a flight from Phuket to Bangkok, we didn't fancy the overnight bus journey. It was well worth it, even got a nice mea...

Krabi is a nice enough town, but its main attraction turned out to be the ear, nose and throat clinic where Marie had to have her head vacuumed and fish hooked after getting an ear infection whilst snorkelling in Malaysia.

We're staying in a district called Little India so you can guess what we're eating at the moment. We're off to Raffles tonight for a l...

We finished our roadtrip in the states without any prangs, even though the driving around LA is priceless. Its like watching British Touring Cars. We visited the Grand Canyon (amazing, as you can see from the photos). Then on to Joshua Tree Park, where we bottled out of camping cos of the snakes and tarantulas...! Because of the time difference we lost a whole day flying from LA to Tokyo. We were absolutely knackered when we arrived, but had to find our hostel ...
