  Bangkok, Thailand
Tuesday, February 17, 2004

After 7 months of bussing, training, boating and biking our way around Asia, we've finally reached the end of the road and fly back to Sydney tomorrow. Since returning to Thailand from India, we've managed to fill in a month reaquainting ourselves with the little patch of paradise known as Koh Chang, and have spent the last few days in Bangkok which we're starting to know inside out after all our stops here!

Overall, it really has been the trip of a lifetime, as cheesy as that sounds - we've seen so many amazing sites, met great people who I'm sure we'll meet up with again some day, eaten excellent food and had many crazy adventures (not all positive experiences....but all certainly memorable!). It's too difficult to choose a definite highlight or favourite place as there are so many, but some of the many that spring to our minds are the motorbike trip through Vietnam's Central Highlands, snorkelling at the Perhentian Islands in Malaysia, the friendly people and natural beauty of Sri Lanka, seeing Angkor Wat for the first time at sunrise, and our unexpected love of everywhere we went in China.

Hopefully it won't take us too long to adjust to life at home - however, we may find we've forgotten how to cook after eating out all day every day. We'll probably find the prices of everything a huge shock to the system, but it'll be nice not to have to bargain anymore (and we can clean our teeth with tap water...and have a choice of more than three outfits to wear...you get the picture!). For those of you in Sydney, see you soon!!
