Koh Tao From Bangkok we took another night train down to Chumpon, on the east coast of Thailand. This time we were not so lucky and all the sleepers had been sold out, as well as all other decent seats on the train. We got seats in third class, one up from cattle class. The journey was a very uncomfortable, cold and dirty experience, not so good when you've got bronchitus! We arrived at Chumpon e... Read Full Entry

Vuhu!
Saa herlig at dere ogsaa er ute og reiser! Det er flotte saker, det maa jeg si! Vi var ogsaa paa Koh Tao og Koh Pangan, det var utrolig snorkling og late dager, herlig sted! Droppa Ko Samui, men det ble mer beach i Sor ost asia, saa vi overlevde da det:) Naa koser vi oss i Guatemala, det er veldig anderledes enn Sor ost Asia, men fantastiske tider er det her ogsaa! Vi er saa heldige! Har kjopt billet hjem, lander i Norge 17 april, etter 14 maaneder paa loffen!! Veldig fornoyde med det:) Vi vaska dass i Australia, naer Darwin, stedet heter Jabiru, resorten heter Aurora Kakadu Logde, slaa det opp paa internet og ring sjefen, han heter Peter. Det er en dritt jobb, men vi fikk jobbe mange timer, vaska dass i 7 timer paa dagen, saa hadde vi en vaskejobb for et vaskefirma paa stedet ogsaa, der fikk vi betalt svart, saa det var bra, ogsaa fikk vi jobbe ekstra paa kveldene i baren eller restauranten, saa det ble mye penger paa 3 maaneder! Tjente 18 dollar i timen paa vanlig dag, 25 paa lordag og 30 paa sondag, og bodde billig, saa det var bra, bedre betalt enn mange jobber i Australia!! Er midt inne i Kakadu National Park i Northern Territory, veldig fint sted, men vi hadde ikke bil, saa fikk ikke sett saa mye. Jabiru er et lite drittsted, 1500 innbyggere, men det var gode penger, saa anbefaler det:) Eller provde vi oss som fruktplukkere paa Tasmania, men fikk sparken etter 4 dager, for fruktsesongen har vaert vanskelig detta aaret;) Tasmania var et konge sted, bortsett fra fruktplukkinga;) Vi brant oss forresten med skatten i Australia, man maa vaere der i 6 mnder eller mer for aa faa tilbake penger, og vi var bare 4, saa vi la igjen en del tusen kroner i skattepenger der ja.. Saann er det jo:) Lykke til med jobbing og reising! Vi folger dere fra bloggen:) Kos! Gunhild og Kristoffer:)

Always love reading your blog and looking at the lovely pics. Can't believe you're leaving Thailand now when I'm going there. Leaving for Phuket, Kata, on Tuesday night. Me Chris, Östling, Christian, Linda, Millan, Empa, Hjärner and loads more peeps are going. Most of Lindas family. Anyway, such a shame you won't be there. You'll have to give us some good tips on what to do though. Have a lovely time in Malaysia and take care! Miss you both! x x x
