It's our last day in Bangkok. Well last full day. We woke up early this morning and caught the train to Chatuchak Markets about 8.30am. Lucky we went early! We left around 2pm and it was packed! Apparently 200,000 people visit each day! All without airconditioning! I started to feel a little light-headed after a while. The markets are crowded, packed together tightly and have everything for sale! Clothes, handicrafts, shoes, food, live animals, pet supplies, etc etc. Todd & I bought a few souvenirs and some clothing. Heading out to MBK soon. We think it's much better than Chatuchak.

Had a lovely couple of days in Phi Phi. We arrived by boat on Tuesday afternoon. Lucky I didn't get seasick! The travel sickness spray really worked! It took about 2 hours to get there from Phuket. Yesterday we went on an island hopping tour. We got to snorkel, swim, kayak around the islands and beaches of Phi Phi. Todd got to snorkel with sharks!!! I was too scared to go in. There were lots of pretty fish but we think the Great Barrier Reef is still better. We also got to see some tiny monkeys on Monkey Beach. They were [View Full Entry]

Hi all! Been in Bangkok for 3 days now. Seen a few sites and shopped a fair bit! First night we flew in we checked-in, unpacked a bit, then hopped onto the Skytrain to Nana where all the tailors are located. Todd got measured up for a suit from http://www.dress-for-success.com/. Afterwards I went to another tailor to get measured up for a suit too. We grabbed dinner from Siam Paragon...in the food court haha! We had Thai - Todd found his chicken cashew nut (tho not the same as he's used to at home) and I got some curry. There has [View Full Entry]

Not quite the weather we were hoping for...but then it's Melbourne and so we pretty much assume it's going to be cold, colder, or freezing! We arrived in Melbourne on Thursday night about 9.30pm. SEAMLESS! Tickets, check. Luggage, check. Suits? Check! :) Our accommodation? We stay at the Shortstay apartments in Southbank. Just gorgeous! I highly recommend staying there! See their website (http://www.shortstayapartments.com.au). Friday, 27th Oct Up early (for a non-working day), we all ate breakfast that we had conveniently brought with us from Sydney. Raisin toast and coffee YUM! [View Full Entry]

Touched down in Sydney tonight and was so happy! I actually flew into Sydney on Thursday but went to the Gold Coast for my cousin's wedding. Tonight will be my first night in my own bed!!! I am so looking forward to it! Our Europe trip was so much fun! We saw a lot of things in a short amount of time! I'm looking at the photos now and it's really hitting me what we actually did! In summary... * Fave cities - Barcelona - it's clean, has wide streets, best shopping, getting around on public transport is easy. I also [View Full Entry]
