A Strange Turn Of Events

Hmmm, England in Winter...I didn't think I'd be here. Right now as I write this I should be staggering around Sydney Harbor in a drunken stupor having seen in the New Year under an explosion of bright fireworks lighting up the Opera House. Realistically I would be asleep in a park somewhere as I couldn't afford an outrageously priced hotel, stone cold sober as the drinks are so expensive having seen a few blurry flashes of fireworks in the sky from 10 kilometers away. Alas neither of these are true as I am sat on a couch back in the amazing small town of Bury St Edmunds in England.

Due to family reasons we are taking a break in our trip, we arrived back in the cold on the 20th December and started work the next day...grrrr...work. Out next flight is booked from Kuala Lumpur to Melbourne and we will be picking this up again in February.

It was a long time since my previous travelly post so lets give you a swift overview of what we got up to.

Thailand after Pai...

Lopburi, I didn't catch rabies.

Ayutthaya, Nice temples and a lovely break from the craziness of Bangkok

Bangkok, Crazy

Train Ride, Hungry followed by an evening in a random town called Don Sak with no-where to eat so Pot Noodles for dinner.

Koh Phag-nan, Full Moon party craziness

Koh Lanta, Rainy

Koh Phi Phi, Stunningly beautiful and took Kinga to an all you can eat buffet and a boxing match #Romance!

Phuket, one night, up at 3am

Kuala Lumpur, Disappointing at first but pulled through in the end

Myanmar/Burma, Loved it

Yangon, Expected nothing but loved it

Mandalay, Expected loads but disappointed

Bagan, Temples and greatness

Back to Yangon, loved it again

Malaysia

Kuching, Borneo, Very nice people.

After that, Bury St Edmunds, center of the universe!!!!

So, that brings you up to date. There are so many stories in between like sweet chili mackerel and pee-ing by the side of the road in Myanmar but i can't write them right now. If your lucky i will in the future...or you'll have to buy the book!

Happy New Year everyone, roll on 2014!
