I will add some photo's when I arrive on the isle of Tasmania, and I will write again once I am over the jet lag.

Well I am happy to report that despite postal strikes I have my passport back and a multiple entry visa stamp inside.
I was so relieved to have the passport back.I really do not like to be parted from it.
All I have to do now is get through the next 4 weeks at work.Oh well I am sure I will manage.
Bye for now.

... when we on vacation.
Last time I went back to Thailand the flight had arrived in Chiang Mai and taxied to the stand.
An elderly gentleman who was getting some luggage from the overhead lockers looked down at me and asked if I was as excited as I looked.

We were quite depressed with ourselves considering we then had to pay out another £76 to get down to London, but I guess if this is the worst of our travel cock-ups for a seventh moneht world trip I guess we should 'quit the *****in....'
