Last day

Hey well this is my last day in Thailand..cant say its been every successful. Didnt get to learn how to cook in Thai, bus never picked me up so i gave up and went to check into my hotel for my last night. Decided i might as well get some culture and walked up the road to the Palace. My bright pink boardies wasnt the greatest of ideas i ever had... and ended up going for a walk instead. I now understand why the hotel is called The Royal Hotel and a little a bit about the weird arches everywhere. The hotel is on the main road up to the palace and theres actually a picture of the King above the doors. Amazing the things you miss when your jetlagged and scared!

Ive been very brave and worked out how to actually use my guide book and made it to the main street, feel a little stupid now as its actually only about 5mins from my hotel and theres so many gorgeous places to eat on route! Oh well nevermind, its a learning curve.

I was chatting to Laura yesterday, Ive actually been a bit homesick over the last couple of days but not really for home. Its weird i miss really stupid things, my network (yes i know i really should get a life but part from work, network was basically all i did before coming out here and thats when i wasnt sorting things out at work!), Saturday night in Tokyo with Al, dancing like a dickhead...the stupid buzz i get when i see the bridge and realise im in Huddersfield, the smell of coconut and almond. Really stupid things. Its definately time to move on. I have loved Thailand and its been a real eye opener for me...not sure id come back alone. I think this is one place where its so much easier to be here with someone to enjoy it with you. It definately kicked started my trip and im glad i came here first but so so excited about going to Oz. Spending time with family, meeting Baby Jack, seeing Ad. Cant tell you how excited i am about that and yes Al, i'll get him to tell me a few stories for you, i know how you love them, its definately never a dull moment in Ad's world.

So next stop Sydney... going to go have myself my last Singha to celebrate.

Love you xxx

Firsty, how dare you say I was drunk??? You mean most people don't ring you in the middle of the night to tell you they miss u? Secondly little lady you are doing fab, don't miss us folk back here nothing changes-you are the one gathering stories 4 the rocking chair. Thirdly, yes i do agree Tokyo is just not the same. And lastly, I do love a good Adrian story so make sure u get me some juicey ones.
All my love gorgeous, Al xxx

Well I have worked out how to do this,so will add my bit.
I must say being in Aus will be less stressful for me, what a roller coaster ride and I am not even there. Give Ad a big hug for me he will probably prefer you doing it rather than me making my usual fuss. Been to Rackhams today for the sales bought a dress, top and 3 pairs of size 14 trousers, YES I DID WRITE SIZE 14 YIPPEE.
Well I hope you enjoy the next part of your trip, I will ring you on your bithady at Kath's.

Love Mum
