Our final stop on our travels, the quiet island of Koh Chang, has allowed us to relax and reflect, but we've still managed to pack in some great experiences - more snorkelling and kayaking, along with a first for us - elephant trekking!Sunday was a long day - mainly because our original flight out of Bangkok was cancelled due to lack of demand, so we were put on a later flight, resulting in a five hour wait at Bangkok Airport.

We scoped out Exmouth, which is very spread out for a town, and then relaxed by the pool.We awoke the next day for th...
