Just to let you all know, we made it safe and sound to Thailand and this entry is a little overdue but that's mainly due to trouble connecting to internet out here.
Now back to the blog. We left Swansea Train Station on 20 September on our way to Paddington (we did manage to squeeze in a Joe's Ice Cream before we left!). It was a very emotional goodbye (for now) and we managed to have a photo with my dad and Scoby before the tears.
After getting to Heathrow (after spotting Mark from Westlife on the Heathrow Express) we boarded a flight to Delhi. We told everybody who would listen that this flight was going to take 12 hours...we exaggerated, it only took 8 1/2 hours (oops).
We were only in Delhi for a few hours but managed to sneak in a few photos to pass the time...
The next flight from Delhi to Bangkok took only 4 1/2 hours...as above, we originally exaggerated as we told everyone it would take 10 hours. On the positive, we saved ourselves 9 hours travel time from our original estimates!
We landed in Bangkok airport on 21 September around 6pm local time and we were picked up by our representative of the tour company holding a little sign with our names on...made us feel like celebrities!
We were pretty tired when we arrived at our hotel (Bangkok Centre Hotel) so we only ventured out for some food to the restaurant within the hotel compound...the curiously named "Wind Rose". We thought we would celebrate our safe arrival in Bangkok with a cocktail...but soon wished we hadn't as the "Mai Thai" and "Screwdriver" were pretty disgusting. The food was good though, simple fried noodles with chicken for us both.
We then went back to our hotels for some well deserved rest...
