Well I spent all day yesterday “buzzing” about on my moped. Have to admit was a little shaky at first, but once I got going it was great fun, and there are more mopeds on the roads then cars, so they kind of rule the roads. A couple of Italian guys stopping at my bungalows guided me to a fabulous beach, which I would never have found. They then set off to discover a waterfall, so have to admit was a little worried about finding my way back, but hey here I am. Anyway Mum you’ll be pleased to know that [View Full Entry]

Well another bus journey that seemed to last forever! Set off from Ko Samui at 6.30am and arrived at Krabi at 2.30pm, but once again the journey wasn’t that far and the air conditioning on the bus was shocking, but on a plus, my ipod worked this time!! Accommodation here is fabulous, just seems quiet after the late nights and bars of Ko Samui, although probably need a few days to get all beer out my system! Walked for about 2hours on the first day along the beach and back and just sat and watched the sun start to set…beautiful! [View Full Entry]

Well I’m sat on the bus writing this (obviously typed onto blog since). This has got to be the longest bus journey ever. It’s currently 12.45am and the bus set off around 7.30pm and I don’t think we are even half way yet! Got on the bus and thought I’ll just chill and listen to some music, but no ipod is flat, it must’ve been switched on in my bag, as I only charged this morning…That will teach me to lock it in future. Then thought ok I’ll read my book, but no the light above me doesn’t work. Thank god [View Full Entry]

Well it didn’t take long, but I have now been attacked by mosquitoes…why do they always seem to get you in the most annoying places!!! I have one just where my watch sits and one on my knicker line, I mean how the hell did they manage that. I’m pretty sure they are not in my room and attacked me when I was sat outside last night. Anyway I’ve been sensible tonight and put my repellent on, so fingers crossed I shouldn’t have anymore tomorrow. Went to the Grand Palace today, although I have to confess my pictures are a [View Full Entry]

No other way to describe this place, but awesome. Its Crazy, spent alot of today finding my feet, which involved lots of Tuk Tuk rides, which is a great way to get around. Had plans to visit the Grand Palace today, but without my luggage its a little difficult, as you need to cover legs and shoulders and as I only bought shorts and a vest yesterday, Kind of rules that one out, so hopefully I can do that tomorrow. Anyway today I took a visit to Jim Thompson's House, who in a nutshell is an American guy who helped [View Full Entry]

Well it could only happen to me. I must have travelled 2-3 times a year for last 10 years and never once have I lost my luggage. First time I make a trip on my own & bingo my luggage decides it likes the UK too much and wants to spend another day in London. So here I am strange city, strange language and no clean undies....hahaha. Ah well it's an excuse to go shopping and as I'm a woman I hardly need that do I, so thats where I've been. Very conservative though in my spending, I only bought shorts, [View Full Entry]

Well I finally managed it and got everything packed...Took 5 attempts and still feel like it weighs a ton, even though on the bathroom scales it came out at 16kg, which is well under my allowance!!! So i set off tommorrow and it still doesn't seem real, I've packed up my house, said goodbye to the folks and most of my friends. So I guess this is it, from tomorrow I will be a turtle for with all my possessions on my back....lets just hope I don't topple over, ha ha ha. Not looking forward to the flight, but reckon if [View Full Entry]

Well as you will see from my intro i'm just about to set off on a round the world trip. Originally the trip was for 12 months, but hey life changes and I'm now going to cram it into 4.5mths. One good thing about it though, means I don't have to work at all on the trip. So first stop Bangkok. I'd be lying to you peeps if I told you I wasn't absolutely terrified, don't get me wrong, I'm excited as hell too, but you see I've been planing this trip for almost 12 months and then 3 weeks ago [View Full Entry]
