I was sad to leave Rainbow Lodge but this I fear is the curse of travelling. You can grow fond of somewhere and some people in such a short space of time that to leave can be a little sad. Mix that with the apprehension of going somewhere new - will I know anybody, what will it be like etc. The bus picked us up as they said it would on the side of the road and after an interesting bus journey consisting of speaking with a crazy, drugged up American and putting u...

Rainbow Lodge was an amazing experience. The Lodge itself is in an incredible setting on the river. You can only get there by boat which is an adventure itself - especially when you consider I missed my transport from Koh Chang, (overslept.....) but decided to leave anyway and 'go local'.

Man do I need a holiday..... Exhausted after a month of work, packing, planning, saying good byes and probably too much drinking. It all started with a curry at Hove Tandoori and will finish with a curry tomorrow night and then I'm off. Thank you to everyone who has made November so much fun and made me slightly wonder why I'm leaving you all. But I am, so farewell, goodbye and see you on the other side! Don't forget to write and please take care of yourselves....
