Well I must say our decision was a good one, I decided this morning that the cameron highlands were our destination, so after a long bus journey, in which we were turfed out at some station due to steering problems, and thrown on the next and very over crowded bus we finally arrived. The scenery here is breathe taking, surrounded by jungle, tea plantations and other forms of farming, I knew I had made the right decision. It was kind of wierd, we had changed our plans a few times along the way, however this is the first time I have just turned up somewhere without accomodation. We were quick to find accomodation however at Daniel's guesthouse, which was great, although the accomodation it self may not even be 2star, the people here are great, and ... read more

To say goodbuy to the majestical Phuket was sad, not only were we farwelling Puket and this beautiful paradice, we were also saying goodbye to Thailand, somewhere that I truely love, and all the people that we had met there, and contributed so much to the fantastic time we have had, it was also sad because it means our adventure will soon be over. We began the day quite early with abeautiful buffet breakfast by the sea, before heading for a final swim. The beach at Karon is absolutely stunning, the waters so clear, and warm, although the undertow is a little strong, so you have to watch yourself a little. We then headed back to the bungalo where we were picked up to go to the airport. After a smooth flight we arrived back in ... read more

Well after what seemed like the longest journey in a mini bus from Koh Samui we have arrived in the beautiful Phuket, and the weather here is much nicer than it was in Koh Samui. During our trip we met a French guy of whom we decided to go halves in a Bungalo with, at Karon beech, which while still touristy is quieter and far more layed back than it is in Patong, although don't get me wrong the night life and markets in Patong are great, but Karon is certainly more relaxing, and the beech here is stunning. It is almost impossible to see the devistation that the Tsunami left behind, these people are quite remarkable the way they have rebuilt their buisnesses and lives. The bungalo is nice, and reasonably priced when sharing with ... read more

This morning we all slept in a little, before getting up for breakfast, after breakfast the village women and children set up ther handicraft market, where we had time to browse, and buy at our leisure, I bought something off each of them, and some of the most amazing jewlery, most of which was handmade. We then bid farwell to the village and walked for a couple of hours to a road in which we were picked up to travel to a rafting camp where we had lunch, before bamboo rafting, the rafting was so much fun, with every-one ending up absolutely soaking, with people jumping from raft to raft, and splashing, and just having fun, it was great. After this we travelled back to Chiang Mai, where we shifted to a hotel where much of ... read more

Well last night was certainly an adventure, we left the hostel, with another girl, of whom had coincidently booked the same sleeper train as the one we were going on, on arrival at the station she swapped tickets so that we were in the same compartment. On sitting down I realised that my ticket had became misplaced, which was a night mare all I could do was visualise my son and I being booted off somewhere in the middle of the night, however it eventually reappeared, so with this relief we decided to head down for a beer, half way down the train we were greeted by one of the workers, who said that she would bring our beers down, so we returned to our seats, when she arrived she arrived with two beers, and three ... read more
