Homeward Bound

---

Blog Fans this is it, after 11 months we are heading home so this is our last blog entry.

After Cambodia we flew to the island of Phuket in Thailand for a week of relaxation and healing. Phuket has some lovely natural scenery but the human additions are not quite so pretty and it felt quite odd to us to be in a purely holiday destination. We didn't replace our camera until we got to Singapore so we don't have any photos of Phuket, but that's not really a bad thing unless you are particularly into Beryl Cook like scenes of overweight people with Bo Derek plaits squeezed into undersized swimsuits getting pissed around the hotel pool. On second thoughts....

Singapore, however, was a surprise to us; not as sterile and soulless as it's sometimes made out to be, we found it accessible and human in scale with interesting areas and some lovely old colonial architecture. It was a pleasant place to spend our last few days and to look back over our travels enjoying a Singapore Sling at the famous Long Bar at Raffles Hotel. But it was seriously hot and humid and we are just about ready to get back to the cooler temperatures and even the rain of London.

See you soon!
