Well, I have to say, this is much needed. Western & the General have chosen very well in finishing their epic adventures in Koh Chang, the humidity so prevelent in Thailand for most of the year, is absent in November, and the sun though warm is not of the 'I'll take yer skin off variety'. 2 weeks of reflection, seafood and marvelling at the size of some of these Russians holidaymakers, will keep us entertained until Dec 1st, when we head home. Apart from the Russians, the Germans are also here in large numbers, and if you close your eyes, its hard not to think you're in the middle of some 70's blue movie.
The flight to Thailand, from Kathmandu was excellent, quality food and newspapers for the 2 hour trip, with the Bangkok Post warming us up for arrival in a very different country to Nepal, by featuring adds on the front page, not for another MFI or Carpetland sale, but for sex change operations, the prices were that competitive, that I might be returning with a bossom, certainly cheaper than a new wardrobe from MFI.
We had a couple of nights in Bangkok where there was the usual sight of handsome middle aged European men hanging out with very unattractive local women, who are overweight and of poor body shape and on the island of Ko Chang, there has been the usual petty bickering between the local massage women over who's going to get their mitts on some prime english tenderloin.
Ell enjoyed a fine birthday, featuring seafood and a few games of pool. She is sporting an uber trendy haircut and is delighted to have swapped her hiking boots for flip flops.

Surely this isn't the end of the road for the intrepid duo? Discard those flip-flops and return to more amusing hardships.
Everyone looking forward to seeing you both but you must put some more pictures up. Those Nepali photographs were fantastic.
