its all a blur! Was up fpr the most part of sixty hours what with not sleeping much weds night either!!! Im fine though-m no jet lag as i expected, made the girls stay up til twelve last night, it was grand we chatted and played switch and watched some hercules! maria has loads of disney films its great!im sharing a room with her as we were all feeling lonely (all have boyfrinds back home) which is nice, easier to manage, we had a bit of a break down yesterday, wanting to go home for good at christmas, but we know we should wait and see what its like when we settle and that this is the hardest part. The hotels lovely- complete with bar and restaurant, we actually dont need air con, the temps are bareable, havent been outside mush at all though! heading to buy a phone soon, but shane g went for a jog this morn and said there re three within walking distance!! The flight was grand- even including the lightening storm we witnessed under us!! the long one killed my back a bit but then i found a double seat and stretched out to sleep! All our luggage came through and we had few problems besides one girl losinga ring and customs treating tonys hair wax as if it was gonna blow up in thailand!!! it was funny seeing them open it with such caution! and searching his bag and paying a lot of attention to his cds in china.. i thought it was my bag they wanted and was certain my back pills wud be confiscated, but no!! had a fly by triple shooting to my face during nap time yesterday, grr them! but they aint itchy and not noticeable much. Ill email with details from day one asap- no wi fi as we thought was in the hotel but internets only 60c per half an hour! tried to get change of 10euro equivolent this morn and they looked at me so funny! its so cheap here!!
