So..... The final blog comes around! It really doesn't seem like 6 and a half months have passed, but then when you think about where we've gone and what we've done it seems akin to a roller-coaster. The last month has been a tour of the Thai Islands with many a drunken night chucked in. Not very cultural I'm sure you'll cry, but amid the chaos of thousands of drunken teenage Americans it is still possible to find a real slice of Thailand on the paradise of Maya...

Just after we had finished our meal but before the stewards/esses had cleared up the pilot banked hard to the right to try and avoid some cloud but failed and we had the worst turbulence either one of us had experienced.
