It's been awhile blog!
So New Year's went grand, big party and silliness and I got on my 12.30pm 5 pound train to London from Edinburgh. Much fun especially having Ezara (pictured) visiting from Dublin to stay with us as well - the flat was full. Some tears from Briony and I at the train station, can't believe I won't see her in a little/long while (who knows?) after such an epic 2007 with her by my side for much of.
My flying visit to London went so smoothly, would have loved more time to catch up with people before I went but alas. Like I mentioned in my last post, I stayed with Claire, a lovely friend of mine who would probably be in Australia right now, visiting for the first time...lucky her! It was a great base to get all my last minute messages done and I was able to mosey to Heathrow very easily from there on the tube in the evening. Still can't believe I am on my way home and that I won't be hopping back to London any time soon. Flight went well and had a fantastic hostel in Bangkok, met some people and saw some sights...and had never yearned for fresh air more in my life. Would have liked to have spent more time in BKK but Pai beckoned 3 nights after my arrival in SE Asia.
Pai is a little town in the mountains in Northern Thailand. Quite an artistic community and it is so nice to have lots of music and art all around all the time. I don't have much internet time so I will post a little more about it another day but to cut it short I've been having a great time with beautifully hot days but freezing m
y bum off at night - it's the cold season here and the temperature DROPS after 8pm. I had a flight to Chang Mai from BKK then caught a rickshaw/"bus" (pictured, and PS the doors didn't shut for most of the ride, safety third in Thailand!) on the 4 hour drive to Pai...with a journey that encounters over 760 curves in the road. I had dosed up on travel sickness medication and unfortunately missed what I am sure was an amusing journey as I was knocked out for most of it.

Happy New Year Lisa Darling, sorry its a little late. Glad you are having such a wonderful time on your travels, I am SO PROUD OF YOU!!!!!!!. I am counting down the days until your return, I simply cannot wait anymore. I can't believe it has been almost a year since I said goodbye to you on my back porch (tear). We will have to have a great night at my place with a few drinks and everyone over when you get back. What is the exact date so I can mark it on my calender, YAY!!!! keep up the blog, I am reading it! I just get so involved in your stories, that I forget to comment, will send you another email update on Adelaide soon! Did you hear about Heath Ledger over there? Very sad, what a waste. Love you!!! Be safe, Love Mel x x x
lovely photos, i like i like. traveling around 760 corners with the bus doors open, i would need more than travel sickness meds! i would need valium times a thousand, you did very well! anyway, and you know what they say...youve seen one country side, youve seen them all. there is nothing more satisfying than waking up after a couple of hours kip when you are on a long trip.
miss you, but you already know that.
