Finding a B&B gem


Sometimes I spend hours trawling booking sites to find the best accommodation on our travels.  It's a task that George has no patience for, so I'm in charge of that one!  I got lucky for our latest stay.  I found a lovely, rustic B&B in Sukhothai.  Lovely host, big room, delicious breakfast and delightful cats.  What more can you want?  



We were originally staying here for just three nights, but extended by another three.  The weather has been stormy and flooded up north, so we decided to wait a little longer before heading to Chiang Mai.  We have been rewarded with some beautiful sunshine.  But regretted walking it at midday as it was too hot.  As I write my blog at 4pm local time it is 32 degrees.  Nothing like a nice iced Thai Tea to cool us down.



On another note, we've met a man from Bracknell who has a restaurant here.  He used to work for BT a few years ago, knows some people I know, and worked in the same building as me in 1992.  It is a very small world.😊

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. Highlights Cheap : Our British pounds stretched remarkably far and we only  spent a total of  £1440 per person. The breakdown: £750 - Etihad indirect flights (1.5 hour stop off in Abu Dhabi)  £690 - Bed & Breakfast, dinner, all transport (bus, train, taxi), cultural entrance fees, hospital treatment, laundry and grocery shopping.  The People : Incredibly warm and hospitable, very friendly and eager to help. They really enjoyed stopping for a friendly chat on the street, and we felt genuinely welcomed as English tourists. Scenery : The views were breathtaking, particularly the hill country from a train.  Weather : Consistently hot and sunny. To avoid the intense heat, we found it best to travel very early morning.  Lovely Beaches : Beautiful and clean, though the steep drop off and powerful waves made sw...

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
