Hello everyone,
After a long pause we are finally beginning our blog once more. We've had crazy month and a bit in Geelong with Jane recovering from her hip op and preparing for the trip. So much paper work to do!!! And yet the Thursday before we're due to go we find out that we must both have a Uk police check done before starting work in the UK. That's even though Greg has never set foot in the country!
oh Well. SO after looking at several options (including spongeing off the relies in the UK for 6 weeks (not so apealing) and working in Geelong and delaying our departure (also not at all apealing), we decided to spend 3 very cheap weeks in Thailand!!
We travelled on the plane to Singapore with Jane's brother Jono then said our goodbyes to him and flew to Phuket, Thailand. We really recommend Tiger Airways for anyone looking for cheap Asia flights. Just like Jetstar really.
Phuket town was much cleaner than we remember Vietnam being. Our room was bargain price and yet it was filled with marble and all the mod cons you'd expect in a 5 star place (called Sino House for all those planning a trip to Thailand soon).
Wednesday was spent on the beach at Patong where we apreciated the tips from Amber and Al about wondering women selling everything from pineapples to spare towels.
We checked out a Lonely Planet suggestion for dinner. An Italian restaurant which was fantastic. Great pizza, I wonder if they have Thai food in Italy? I doubt it.
Today we travelled to Ao Nang beach East of Phuket (near Krabi) where we intend to laze around for atleast 4 days (maybe more if we like it). We're staying in a beach bungalow for $30 AUD a night. Its just what we need even if it doesn't have air con or hot water. 20 steps from the beach and seafood restaurants!
Enough rambling for one blog.
Catch you all later.
And please leave us comments. We'd love to improve on our blogging style and hear your news too.
