Hungry like the Wolf

My school friends all knew me back in the 80s as a huge Duran Duran fan.  When they filmed "Hungry Like the Wolf" and "Save a Prayer" in Sri Lanka in 1982,  I thought the country looked absolutely incredible. It's been on my bucket list ever since, and I'm so excited after many years to finally be going. Sadly, I'm not expecting a Le Bon/Taylor sighting, but  a girl can dream, right? 😉

Sri Lanka: the highs and lows of a month long trip

After a month of exploring Sri Lanka, we've packed our bags, ready to head back to the UK. I want to share some of the highs and lows of our adventure.

Time to go home

I sign off my travel blog with a brief post. Today we are heading home. George snored all night so I had no sleep - just ready for a long flight 😬 Cases are packed and both around 12kg each so well under the limit! 👜 It's been an amazing 4 month trip in Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Laos and Cambodia by sea, water, coach and train. 🚂✈️🚌🚢 It's very difficult to say what was my favourite part of the trip but Luang Prabang, Koh Lanta and Langkawi were highlights.  I'm not looking forward to the UK weather and I also need to find a job. But I'm looking forward to seeing friends and family.  Until the next time 👋 Tracy x
