Last day in Sydney today before venturing into un-chartered territory.
|
A new addition to the little red racer! Lauren! Now off to manly for long walks along the beach.
|
Correction... Bondi beach! My bad. On our way to lunch.
|
Our shadows, at manly beach. Another beautiful day in sydney.
|
This is for you, derek. Big mac at darling harbour. Yum.
|
Sorry for the lack of entries .. Unfortunately my cellphone can TXT but not PXT .. So there goes the whole thing! This is sent from a dodgey little internet cafe in Bangkok .. Having a great time, will update when we can :). Feel free to text Tom.
|
Relaxing with a beer next to the mae ping river in chaing mai. The heat tires you quickly!
|
Just left hotel in a tuk tuk, on our way to the train station to sort out leaving chaing mai! It's been fun.
|
Drinking fresh tasty coconut at a ruin in Ayutthaya - the old capital. Delicious! And refreshing.
|
Waiting at the train station for our 2.50pm ride out of chaing mai. Unfortunately no air-con left, only fan! We've stocked up waters :-P
|
A picnic, kiwi style by the river. Bread, peanut butter and fanta. Way too hot for hot food!
|
Today we head back to bangkok for the day. Waiting for the train at Ayutthaya station. Where's Gini?
|
A room with a view. On the train to Nong Khai with our own room! A nice suprise - but explains why our tickets were 1300 baht each! Depart in 25 mins, arrive in 12.5 hours. Should be fun.
|
Made it to nong khai. 15 hour train! Not sure why it was 3 hours late. Very quiet and peaceful here for a change. Lunch time - we're starving!
|
Biked to crazy bizaro giant sculpture garden. Some as high as 50 meters! 35 degrees and feeling it.
|
Relaxing at what seems like a ghost hotel - but with a huge and clean pool.
|
Crazy bus station at nong khai. Waiting for 10.40 bus to take us to Ubon Ratchathani down the Mekong. First bus experience so wish us luck!
|
Another bus day today. Our bus tickets to Ubon Ratchathani from Nakhon Phanom. Stayed here last night - a relatively english speaking free town with views of Laos' mountain ranges.
|
Huge golden candle in Ubon Ratchathani. Off exploring the town now. And eat!
|
At a wat on the outskirts of Ubon. On our way to Pha Taem National Park on a motorbike. This one has gears! She'll be right.
|
3000-4000 year old cliff face paintings in the national park. Some old cave dude high on something went crazy.
|
Today we fly from Ubon to Bangkok then onto Phuket. Leaving the east and venturing to the south of Thailand. Both looking forward to some beach side relaxation.
|
Phuket beach! Massive, warm watered, white sand, and not too crowded. If only i could find a laundry person.
|
Today we both got tatoo's. It's ok mum's - they will wash off over the next few weeks :). We bus and ferry to Ko Samui tomorrow morning for our final week in the sun.
|
Just pulling into Ko Samui on the ferry after 10 hours of bus, waiting and ferry. Exhausting, but after a 45 min taxi ride we should be in paradise. And eating. So hungry!
|
Sipping cocktails on Chaweng beach. This place is paradise. No wind, stars and a cool 29 degrees.
|
Swimming at a waterfall on Koh Samui. Today we scooter round the island after 3 days at the beautiful beach.
|
This morning we woke early to watch the sun rise. Not as impressive as the sets, but still nice.
|
On top of a view of an inland sea lake in Ang Thong National Park. Earlier we were snorkling at one of the many islands. Beautiful.
|
Smoking from a massive bong on the beach. Apple flavour. Enjoying our second to last night on the island in style.
|
Crazy fish in the tv. Odd restaurant on big budda beach.
