Saba-dee (Hello in Lao), Yes I am now in another country after having just got to Thailand but this is how it goes here. Here's what I've been up to for the last week. As I uploaded the photos last week, you can already see the celebrations for my birthday and the trek pics, but i'll start from there. After arriving in Chiang Mai, I did what every other tourist does here and booked myself onto a trek. I'd just got off the bus and was taken straight to a guestho...

Well, I finally made it to Thailand, with a few mishaps on the way. Sorry for the lack of blog last week but after the week I've had you'll see why. Still on the up now and just about to undertake Trek number 3 of my trip. I reckon I'm addicted now. So to begin, I finally made it out of Delhi last wednesday.

I refer of course to my arrival here, my second visit when my travel plans went out the window and right now. I hate to start on a moan but that's the case. I'll come back to it later though as the week started off brilliantly. Last Sunday, I woke up at 4am to catch the bus to Amritsar. In all truth I was glad to leave Dh...

Greetings from the wettest part of India on record. I was expecting a little bit of rain but it's been torrential here. Let me fill in the gaps of my week. After leaving Lucknow, I was looking forward to getting back into a touristy place, mainly because I was getting fed up with answering the same questions from my Indian buddies. Still I did have a little fun with it. By the way just incase you see some weird messages on my blog it's because of my new lifest...
