Tomorrow sees the start of a six n half week trip. set of with partner to Dubai, she Carry's on to Perth to see her daughter, i get on another plane to meet a mate at Bangkok. spend a night at his mates then back on a plane to Vietnam, coupla days there then we drive into Cambodia. coupla days there then fly back to Bangkok. one night in patiaya then another flight to Singapore then on to Perth to meet up again. a week in Perth then a flight to Melbourne, two days there then off again to Christchurch, new zealand. think its three nights there then fly back to Sydney. few nights there then a relaxing four day train ride, the Indian pacific [ named so as it goes from the Indian ocean to the pacific] back to Perth. the train stops at a few places with tours thrown in, the main stop being Adelaide.. rest of the time in Perth before flight home via Dubai again.
got my camera and an itching to hire a bike in a few of the stop. took a bit of organising but the girls at Sta travel in Leeds were very helpfull.
hoping to keep a bit of a diary through the site.

Will try that. Met up and Had a night out in jom tiem last night ,now 3.30 pm and back in another airport I can't even pronounce on. Our way to Vietnam.
Will sort the photo thing there when we stop still. Some strange sights, family on a moped etc. transit load on a scooter. Like the old days back home.
