A final hello and goodbye!
Last night was messy. But brilliant. Worth the particularly strong headache I suffered this morning! After spending like Paris Hilton Jen and I 'retired' to a few bars. In one particular bar we met this lovely Thai girl who spoke excellent English and kept us entertained for well over 2 hours while we played cards. After a few more drinks we plucked up the courage for Jen's first (and my last) Ping Pong Show. Once again it was very comical especially when the girls inside thought we were lesbians. We won't be back in a hurry!
After Jen's departure at a very cruel 8am I spent the day doing one final top up of the tan (standard). Met a couple of people around the pool and am heading out for a few more drinks with them to get incredible jealous as they are on the first part of their trips :-(
And thats it folks! I seriously can't believe it's been 5 and half weeks, it's particularly surreal being back in the D and D Inn where my Thailand adventure started and thus will also end. It's hard to describe how much fun I've had, how many experiences I can only call 'amazing' and the things I've learnt. Therefore just a few final lessons.....
Lesson 30: Buy a lonely planet! (or borrow/steal/beg for one!)
Lesson 31: Careful planning saves money but spontineity is the spice of life (sorry I still can't spell)
Lesson 32: Its a very, very small world (eg bumped into some girls I used to play netball with 5 or 6 times at different parts of the trip- even ended up staying in the same hotel at one point! Also met a guy on the way back from the full moon party in the taxi who went to my school, lives in Chelmsford and is only a couple of years older than me)
Lesson 33: All English people originate from Essex (Its sooooo true!!!)
Lesson 34: Traveling alone is a great adventure but traveling with friends increases the memories tenfold.
(Maybe I should have been a teacher after all :-) )
On that note therefore (taking the risk of being mocked by them for doing this!) I wanna say how grateful I am to the boys for letting me travel around with them and how much fun I had being 'one of the lads'. Also a big lesbian thank you to Jen for more randomness to add to the scrapbook! I really can't thank you guys enough for giving me some of the best memories of all time. Love you all xxx
So that really is it now, just wanna say thank you so much if you've been reading my cooler than cool blogs even if you're just bored at work pretending to be busy :-) Thanks for all the messages, as I've said throughout this you haven't been far from my thoughts even if its just private jokes that I secretly laugh at and look like a idiot :-) (TUMBLEWEED!)
Will land at 7:30pm tomorrow and start work on monday- no rest for the wicked!- can't wait to see you all very soon!!
Wilko xxxx
