Greetings from Thailand!
Our time in India was great. Our last port of call was Delhi - great highlight was our day trip to Agra to see the Taj Mahal which was phenomenal. We'l try to stick some photos up soon. A definite downside was this complete t*** trying to scam us big time on accomodation and buses. He didn't succeed and we made him feel a right muppet in front of all his mates. You've gotta be so careful out here so we're definitely toughening up!
We then arrived in Bangkok a couple of days ago. Had to spend the previous night on Singapore airport floor (though got to say it's an amazing airport if we could have been more awake!) so arrived here pretty shattered. Stayed at Sawasdee Banglumpoo Inn on Khaosan road (anyone remember it?) and staying in D&D's tonight (good recommendation Sam!). It's been cool to chat with other backpackers here as we have been pretty much loners for the last few weeks! The Thai's are really friendly and you can actually walk into a shop without being bombarded with lines until you buy something!
Met up with a couple of cool Aussie guys y'day and thought we were in for our first piss up but we didn't make it out til 11:30pm and then everywhere shut at 1:00am - what's going on there?! Even us lightweights weren't finished by then! Saw some very tempting locusts and worm like things on offer last night but even after a few beers for some reason decided to decline! We're loving the food here - noodle bars everywhere (and not too spicey!)
We're heading up north tomorrow to Chiang Mai (hoping to make it there for xmas), via Phisanulok and Sukhothai, to experience non commercial Thailand. Hoping the elephants are more friendly than the camels!
We thought we might make it to Vietnam for new years but think there will be too much to see in Laos. Di, definitely have a few drinks for us as apparently everywhere shuts at 12:00 doh! But we'll try.
Hope everyone is well and enjoying your xmas hols. What are you all up to for new years? Kush is gonna miss not being there for the big night out.
Keep the emails/comments a coming!
Lots of love
Cat and Kush x
