Well I need to finish this chapter

UNITED KINGDOM | Sunday, 27 Apr 2008 | Views [313]

Ok well we are now back in England and I have read through my journal and realised that about half the story is missing. I think the easiest explanation is that we ended up taking on a thai style cha-cha approach to life but I have realised that I need ... Read more >

THAILAND | Friday, 11 Apr 2008 | Views [382]

Hi Everyone! SOrry only short one but internet very slow and bit pricey here. Now on Koh Phangan (island) and we're starting our dive course tomorrow morning. Both alive and well though recovering from a few over friendly leeches we encountered yesterday ... Read more >

What Wat is That?

THAILAND | Sunday, 6 Apr 2008 | Views [396] | Comments [3]

We started the day yestrday with a very very early start so we could cycle 6 kilometres in the dark (sorry Mums) with no helmet and one reflector between the two bikes so we could watch sunrise next to a buddha at the top of a steep hill. But it was ... Read more >


How can so much happen in just 2 and a bit days?

THAILAND | Friday, 4 Apr 2008 | Views [362]

Hey everyone - you may have noticed that Safia is also enterng stories on here so don't be confused if I suddenly seem to start talking about myself (it's probably her). She's likely to talk more about nasty animals and food than me! Ok, so when Safia ... Read more >

THAILAND | Tuesday, 1 Apr 2008 | Views [429] | Comments [2]

Well since I updated this journal yesterday we have had an oil massage at a very posh spa, had a pedicure at a salon that was definitely not posh in any way and today we had a thai massage and a reflexology foot massage. And this was in between eating ... Read more >


The End of one VERY long journey and the beginning of another (this one is far more exciting though)

THAILAND | Sunday, 30 Mar 2008 | Views [410] | Comments [2]

Well we are here and both alive and in one piece. Safia somehow ended up staying up for 38 hours with no sleep - I'll let her explain why when she gets home. We both managed to get a couple of hours on the plane and have had a couple of hours nap at ... Read more >


Preparation

UNITED KINGDOM | Sunday, 23 Mar 2008 | Views [337]

Well welcome to my journal. Only 7 sleeps until we begin our journey!!! Short compared to most backpackers but long enough to get a real taste and have lots of fun along the way. Who knows maybe this will give me the bug for life? If you know me well ... Read more >
