Hello everyone, sorry yet again for not getting our arses in gear to write our blog! Im sure you were all getting worried that wed been marooned on a thai island or eaten by a shark, fortunately neither is true and weve made it to australia. We had an amazing time in Thailand but after spending a few too many days in grubby Bangkok during the water and paint throwing festival (very messy and impractical) we were glad to arrive in Cairns. A whole day of travelling...

Hi everyone! Sorry weve not written for a bit, were now at the end of our third week in Thailand and weve finally made it to the south for a bit of rest and relaxation. Believe us when we say we needed it after 2 weeks in the north.

We're all about as prepared for this trip as...

Well, here we are! Bangkok is about the hottest place in the world, we don't exaggerate when we say our faces are melting off, it's very sexy. Arriving was scary, we eventually found a cheap taxi (thanks Carol for the tips!), although it had no seatbelts and the driver had a slightly worrying head twitch, he let us listen to Beyonce and giggle most of the way. Our hotel is very nice and central, probs the last bit of comfort we'll be having for the ne...
