Charlotte and Kev's Big Trip

And now...



...we are home.

We landed this morning at just after 6am UK time after a 13 hour flight from Bangkok. We ended our time in Thailand with a Tuk Tuk ride across the city, loaded with shopping bags. Tuk Tuks are more expensive than the taxi (it cost nearly 2 pounds!) but worth it for the entertainment value - that being coming close to running down pedestrians or whizzing past within inches of the other traffic.

Then it was pack up our bags; then repack them to fit everything in; then unpack them, throw some stuff out and repack them again to fit in everything we needed to take home. It could have been a challenge on the Krypton Factor but we succeeded in the end and headed off to the airport to say goodbye to this long but extremely worthwhile trip.

Hope you've enjoyed reading the blog. Bye!
