Hello everyone
Well this will be my last entry from Thailand as I’m leaving Koh Toa tomorrow and going on a 2 day journey where I will eventually ( hopefully) end up in Melbourne on Friday morning. I’m really not looking forward to my journey but it will be an adventure I’m sure. I’m leaving Koh Toa tomorrow afternoon and getting the ferry over to Chumphon which is 3 hours I think. Then I’ve got to get the coach from the port to the train station and wait there for 5 hours. My train to Bangkok leaves at 11.30pm tomorrow night and it takes 10 hours ;-( Not a happy bunny about that as the trains are all full so I had to pay for the cheapest possible ticket ( my actual train cost me 3 quid) so all of the sleeping carriages are full and I have a wooden seat reserved!!! No bed. Nice, that will be a good night’s sleep. Ive got this awful feeling that it will be right at the back of the train where all of the locals sit, hehe and I just hope that’s there’s not any chickens or animals traveling on it!!!! Its not too bad though, hopefully I will be able to sleep but I have a feeling I will be more worried about keeping my bag under a close watch as these trains to Bangkok are pretty notorious for not the nicest things happening to Westerners. But anyway, like I said, it’s an adventure. The only bad thing is, my train gets in at 9am I think to Bangkok, but my flight to Melbourne isn’t until 10pm Thursday night so I’m going to have a long wait in Bangkok ( I really wasn’t too keen on the city when I was with Em) But im hoping to lock my bag up somewhere, in a locker or something and go somewhere for the day, maybe shopping or something ;-) So when I arrive in Melbourne on Friday morning, I’m going to a very tired girl! Looking forward to seeing you though Sammy Jo!!!!!!! I bet you are soooooooooooo excited now and looking forward to your 23 hour flight! Good times. Then we ‘re doing the Neighbours Tour on Friday afternoon, which Im sooooooooooooo excited about as I love Neighbours!! You get to look around the houses and the high school, and meet some of the cast, yeh yeh I know, how sad are you laura????!!!!!!
So we’re spending the night in Melbourne, and hoping to meet up with some of the Aussies we met in Phi Phi and their going to show us the best places to go, then on Saturday morning we’re getting the train to South Geelong and we’re staying with my Mum’s Aunty and Uncle, which will be lovely as I was really young when I met them and it will be great to stay with them for the weekend and have some home comforts!! Im already looking forward to a clean bed with no insects crawling in it!!! We have been really lucky though staying here at Bans Resort as its clean (most of the time, apart from the occasional cockroach and bed bugs, nice) and we have hot water.
I’m really looking forward to moving on and getting to Oz. I’m really going to miss this place, I’ve met some amazing people but its time to move on and I’m ready for my next part of my adventure ;-)
Hope everyone is well. Dad you will be proud, I sat and watched Watford play, in the FA cup I think???? They play so many of the matches over here, its crazy. Going to watch Happy feet tonight at the Aussie Car, Choppers and then for a few drinks, not many as I have a long 2 days ahead of me !!!!!!
Lots of love and kisses to you all. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
