Hey Everyone, I just had a good olde fashioned English Breakfast Thai style in 31degrees heat, an saw a Internet Cafe on the way back to guesthouse so I thought I better get this whole Blog thing going 😊

So the journey has begun an yet nearly got delayed in Switzerland of all places.

We flew Swiss Airways from Dublin to Zurich on Tuesday 26th June, about 3hours of comfort aboard a very plush airline, well for backpackers anyways. We got fed about hour into flight which consisted of a swiss cheese sandwich and swiss chocolate - we decided this was the perfect oppurtunity to start our powers of bargainng an asked the airhostess for belguim chocolate an cheddar cheese - the good olde swiss humour got the better of us as she smiled, said nothing an pushed the trolley past us 😉

We arrived in Zurich at 4.30pm, an was told that the flight to Bangkok was at 10.40pm and that our bags are been transferred to plane,so we would have 6hours to pass. We went straight to information desk an was told that we could get a airport train into center of city an it only would take 20mins 😉 So off we went, thinking we had the added bonus of seeing Zurich

We walked around city for about 2hours, its a very clean, rich picturesque city. Its seems to be all high fashion clothes shops or cafes, so as u can imagine not my kinda place. But we eventually found a bar/cafe that had an airport interior design so we thought that was a sign to sit down an have a beer.!!

Well I can imagine some of u can picture the rest of this story already, but for everyone else Ill explain - we got chattin over a couple beers telling stories about night outs in Dublin when I looked at my mobile to keep an eye on the time - it read 9.30pm 😞 Even the swiss in the bar could understand the words we both shouted 😉 So we ran out the door in the pouring rain, jumped infront of a taxi, got him to speed out to airport, sprinted to security desk, an when we arrived at departures lounge we was the last to board plane - now thats how u start a adventure we told ourselves laughing but thinkin the world trip could have been the worst one in record

"How did the world trip go" - "Well errr switzerland was nice, didnt get to see much after that" 😊
