Hello Everyone
Well I'm about to embark on my Asian Odyssey..... and who knows where it will take me!!
I fly out of Sydney on Thursday 6 August to Bangkok, and then head to Laos for 2 weeks. From Vientiane (Laos) I fly to Hanoi (Vietnam) to stay with friends, and while I'm there plan to head up to Sapa in the mountains. I then fly back to Bangkok and onto Krabi in Southern Thailand. From Krabi, I catch a ferry over to the Island of Ko Lanta, where I'll spend a week lazing on the beach. Then back to Bangkok again to meet up with Ann & Janet, before flying onto Kathmandu (Nepal). We spend a few days in Kathmandu then fly to Paro in Bhutan. The next 2 weeks will be spent travelling across Bhutan (West to East) and we finally cross into Northern India (Guwahati), to pick up a flight to Bangkok via Kolkata (Calcutta). We spend our final week lazing on the beach in a resort at Jomtien Beach (south of Bangkok), before flying home to Sydney......
I will update my travel blog as often as I can, and I hope you will join me on my journey. Just click on the "Subscribe" button below to receive an email letting you know I when have added a blog.
Cheers, Ali xxx
