Well after months of talking about it and weeks of preparation, the day has finally arrived. Our jobs have been jacked in, our homes abandoned and all our precious belongings safely stored in the parents loft. We've said our goodbyes and now it's time to hit the sky and shout "hello world, we're coming to get you". Be afraid, be very afraid!!!

Next stop Delhi to pick up the bird and then onwards to Bangkok. See you on the other side!!!
