Hey Hey, everyone,

Gotta mention Bangkok,Thailand. Awesome! Brendan and I spent it having 1 long party!! Joking... (or am I?)massive amounts of Thai Whiskey was consumed but we did manage to check out the Ladyboys in Pat Pong and had a fantastic day doing the Temples, the Grand Palace and the reclining Budda.The weather was hot and humid and my hair just stayed a perminent frizz,sorry Kim, but didnt use your gas straghteners. It was near their monsoon season so we had very heavy rain everynight after dark, which was usually when we were out! I was sorry to leave after only 3days but it was only ever a stopover for me.

The trip to Sydney turned into a nightmare. With only a few minutes till landing the pilot pulled up at 10,000' !!! Fog over Sydney would not permit any landings and as we'd had such a long flight we didnt have enough fuel to be "racked and stacked" like in Die Hard 2...and circle the airport so we were immediatly diverted to Melbourne. Another hours flight. Three hours later we had been refueled and flew back to Sydney. In Melbourne we were not allowed off the plane and everything had to be switched off, so no air conditioning!! I was absoultly knackered. I had also missed meeting Natalie and the connecting flight to Auckland, but got it all sorted and am now heading out to find a suppermarket to get groceries to make my dinner.
