The Sth African heavens opened up on the day we left - by Josie and my theory that means Africa is sad to see us go. And unfortunately for me, not the only thing that opened up. I had survived 8 weeks in africa, through some of the most remote corners and happily getting tucked into the local food - and what happens, I get the runs in the most modern town - go figure! Also right before the start of a marathon plane and airport session.... bugger.
Well, not much more needs to be said on airports and flights - you have all been there/done that. We arrived into Bangkok fearing the worst...the guide book paints a pretty sorry picture of the capital with long traffic delays, pollution etc etc. But we didn't find it that bad. Traffic was ok (we have seen worse in London and Sydney) and the same with pollution. We managed to get to our new home in Banglampuu ok - but bugger us, was it hot! 36 degrees of bangkoks humid best (and I am sure that was in the shade)...
Will did the usual touristy things, temples, boat trips, Khao San Road - and ate the delicious food... but to be honest we are very hungover for Africa. Thailand is having trouble inspiring us, and as we cannot go back to Africa - we are thinking of heading back to Oz early. You see Africa and Thailand are both quite similar on their own as a destination - beautiful people, culture and natural beauty - but comapring, Africa just seems to have this 'wildness' and living beat - that makes Thailand look a little paler. But we know it can take a week sometimes to get into travelling - so we decided to make no decisions, and head up to Chang Mai.
