News just in! - Blogabond

ok ok. I am waking up with a coffee in terminal 2 of Singapore Changi Airport. Last night or at least so it seems i joined up with two australian friends for my last night in Sydney. It was fantastic to see each other again after two years in passing when we met and partied hard in Berlin together! We were joined by Tugra, a great guy (conincidently from Berlin) who was on fraser with me!

"Sleep less, do more" is the only way to describe what followed.

Getting to bed at 4am having sworn only to have a couple of drinks there was some doubt as to whether i would make the flight. But i never doubted it, and sure enough in not exactly the best state after 2 hours sleep i made it to Sydney airport. Here i recieved word from two friends; Andy from my times in Nice was in Koh Phi Phi (Thailand) and would be there for a few days more; So too were the Italian guys from the Whitsundays again for a few days! Both emails recieved at same time...

But in my state i was more concerned with my plans for the arrival in SE Asia, because no concrete plans were ever made, just those that on the 8th Jan i would arrive in Asia for 3 months to travel much more. By the time i reached the stopover in Bali i had started to think about a few different ideas; stopping in Bangkok before moving on, travelling slowly north through Malaysia and into southern Thailand; plus a few more.

Then as i touched down i decided, book a flight to the nearest point to koh phi phi and make it there to stay for a while before working my way around and back down. So having booked my ticket for less than 35 pounds in McDonalds at the airport and am now awaiting the last couple of hours before my flight.

Bit mad but next stop will now be Koh Phi Phi (Thailand) for a weeks well deserved rest!

Hey, it sounds like you're going to be a quick boat ride away from Blogabond Global Headquarters here on Tonsai beach (the one next to Ao Nang, not the one on Ko Phi Phi).

Swing by when you're in the area & I'll buy you a bucket or two. Call it an added benefit for having a UserID < 50.

Keep the trip reports coming!
