Hiya everyone! It is lovely to hear from you all! We hope you are all well. I just want to say thanks again for everyone who blogged in Singapore. Much appreciated!!! After a delayed flight - we arrived in thailand where we are going to stay for 3 months. Like Singapore, Bangkok is also pretty "deserted" (as you can see in our photos hehe). We have been in Bangkok now for 4 days (3 full days) and it is really good. We are in a good location and have done quite a few things so far and have taken a lot of pictures of temples especially (see photos).

Hello all! I am in Phuket now... my injuries (see previous entry) are healing... I still can not sleep on my right (bruises and scrapes on right side of body) or on my back (stitches to back of head) but it IS getting better. I can walk without a limp now and the bandages are gone from my head (that was a drag! Everyone asking "you crash bike". Anyway, not much to say about Phuket at the moment... it is quiet here so far, the weather is a bit cloudy... Will take some snaps and post more as it happens. Not sure how long I will stay here... a few days at least.... read more
