Hi Everyone,
It is with great sadness that we post this final blog. We're back in London and we'll be flying back to Manchester tomorrow. We've had the most amazing experience and strangely enough, we've not killed each other!
Just to let you know what we did in LA: We took part in what I am calling Voyuer Tourism: a tour that took us to A-List Celebrities Houses, saw the Walk of Fame, went to the Chinese Theatre and spent a day at Universal Studios. BTW, the new Simpsons ride is just amazing! It's a motion simulator but 3D without you having to wear glasses. It felt so real! And I have to mention this before Priti tells everyone: I wussed out of going on the Jurassic Park ride. I don't know what got into me but I was being a right big girl. The 84 foot drop just freaked me out. So there.
So, as this is our final post (well I might do one from Preston yet), I thought it fitting to write our favourites:
Fave Country: Priti can't pick but I'd say Rarotonga
Fave City: Sydney
Best Beach: Bamboo Island, Thailand
Fave Meal: Chicken/Prawns with Rice from Boat Noodle, Krabi, Thailand (only a quid!)
Fave Beer: Little Creatures Pale Ale which we had in Brisbane
Fave Bar/Pub: The Banyan Tree, Bangkok
Best Day: We can't pick but I really liked Oz Zoo
Worst Experience: Losing my passport, car rental in Fiji, mosquito attacks, being sick in Thailand
Funniest Thing that Happened: Tom very nearly puking when drinking Kava in Nadi, Fiji or getting asked if I " wanted some p**** " in Thailand and me replying with "get out of here!" (I also learned what the ping-pong show was that day too... I am still in shock)
Best Hotel: Priti says Aonang Paradise, Krabi, Thailand but I'm torn as it could also have been Safe Landing, Nakula, Fiji or Kura's Kabanas, Rarotonga
Worst Hotel: Brisbane City Backpackers, not just because the place was cack but the people were horrible. Oh and nothing in the kitchen worked.
Place we're most likely to visit again: We can't pick! Priti says all of them.
Place we wouldn't go back to: Nadi, Fiji. We'd just stay the night before going out to the islands.
Place we'd most likely move to: I reckon Sydney, Priti reckons NZ.
Lessons we'd give to fellow travellers: Everyone in Thailand wants your money. Barter in Thailand and Fiji, it's fun and you're being ripped off. Take the card reader your bank sent you. Take an SD card reader as they are alien in many countries.
So that's it. We're both really sad to be back home (and bloody cold, btw) but this will not be the end of our adventures (no matter what anyone thinks!). Thanks for reading our little blogs, hope they've been funny if nothing else. Maybe I'll end up posting another one of these when I'm climbing the walls after a couple of days back home. Oddly, Preston doesn't feel that appealing any more.
We'll put the rest of the photos on when we get home.
So see you all very soon!
Love,
Tom and Priti
Hardcore World Travellers (ish)
