Hi guys,
Internet here is expensive so havnt written for ages sorry! (will put pics up when i get free internet). Infact my camera actually broke yesterday just as i got to sydney opera house! timing! so getting that fixed today i hope and then will upload pics.
So.... Dan left Phuket on... some day...cant remember dates right now. It was so horrible to say goodbye to him. felt really depressed for the first few days, couldnt eat, kept crying and really wanted to just come home. I got the bus to Khoa Lak the day he left which is where my uni friends racheal is living. Was so nice to have a friend with me. and when she walked into the hostel when i got there i just burst into tears- felt bad going to her in my depressed mood!
We went of on her scooter and found a nice waterfall, had pad thai and chilled out. i also went exploring the area another day with ozzy we met and went to a gorgeous beach there called white beach (the sand is so pure and white and the water warma nd clear blue!)
The hostel was so cheap (150 baht per night) which is 3 pounds- crazy price!! I felt so much better after a few days there although still missing dan of course.
on the 28th I got a 12hour over night bus from khoa lak to bangkok and luckily slept the whole way so wasnt that bad. (service station toilets were an experience though.) When i got to bangkok i had a horrible experience with a thai man I asked for directions.he shouted at me in thai and all his thai taxi driver friends juts laughed- so i walked away crying behind my sunglasses- really horrible and scary. luckily an old thia lady who looked about 100 years old got my on the right bus and chatted to me as she is an english teacher here.
I went to a hotel in bangkok that dans brother matt had recommended to me , and i as I walked in Matt was actually standing there and staying there himself- very strange to just bump into him as its a big, busy place! didnt know he was staying there! So we spent the day walking round a nice park etc was soooo hot. prob the hottest day of my travels yet. you sweat just sitting down! not nice.I also had a foot massage that night which really hurt but fet nice after!
On the 2nd I caught my flight at 5pm from Bangkok and arrived in Sydney on the 3rd at 08:30am oz time. been v jet lagged since but thats not been helped by me going out both nights till late drinking- oops!
its the mardi cras here tonight so going to the parade- should be interesting and then fireworks and the quay. randomly 2 of my uni mates (Kate w and demetri) are both here so met up with Kate last night which was cool. Its funny how many people you bump into along the way. small world!
My plan now it to book my greyhound for the east coast for in a few days time and spent the next 5 weeks doing that. Than fly from Cairns to melbourne to find a job and live and save for a couple of months. may give working in nz a miss now and just go and travel it for 6 weeks giving me more time to save money here. Wages in NZ are far lower and its sooo expensive. worse then london. iv only eated twice since i got here and its been 2 and half days. both times pasta i cooked with cheese as the cheapest thing. sooo hungry now so going to get some food! lossing weight already though lol so all good ha
miss you all
lots of love xxx
