Having had a great time in Bangkok over New Year's Eve, it was time to get the map out and decide where to explore next. We decided to head about four hours east of Bangkok by bus to the town of Kanchanaburi. The town is situated on the banks of the river Khwae and is famous for its railway bridge spanning the river.

Around the world eventually

Hello. We are Ross and Liz and on the 20th November 2013 (a wet and grey British winter's day) we finally set off on our long planned trip around the globe. We started our adventure in Buenos Aires, Argentina and have since made our way around South America, South East Asia, Sri Lanka and overland from the UK to Hong Kong, where we hopped over to Japan and then down to New Zealand.

Great adventures!
I love your way of travel--getting out the map to see where to go next and exploring the less-visited parts of Thailand. Love also that you included a map for those of us who don't yet know the East. How great that Ross can drive a motorbike and even fix it when necessary--what freedom! Waterfalls, a wild elephant and clanging a gong--great adventures!

We have also been enjoying reading some of your SA adventures, you have been visiting some great places that we remember well e.g Mina Clavero, near Cordoba. P.s motorbike fixing seems to mostly involve swearing at it for a while!!
