Hello from Bangkok

Here we are on the last stage of our holiday.... Bangkok is mad.... so much traffic, so many people and it is very polluted. Why are we worrying about our carbon footprint!!!!!! Anyway - we have only been here for 36 hours and we have bought made to measure silk clothes and jewellery ... very good bargains ........ but did we really want them? Sorry Sue we really have been SKIING!!!!! Been to the Grand Palace today, incredible, so much gold, this is the Happy Buddah so we had a few words with him!!! We have travelled on the Tuk Tuks - they really are mad! Our hotel is right on the river side and is fabulous - we are going to try to go to the floating markets tomorrow, travelling by boat hopefully... the river is less congested than the roads ... but only just. The adventure continues for 3 more days... then...........???????Home!

Sydney and about.

Machine won't let me show photos---
Imagine the grand canyon but with trees growing all over it except for some steep cliff sides, these are the Blue Mountains. Imagine the Tyne Bridge but much longer and much bigger with a nice picky of me and Hils in the foreground and this is the SHBridge........................isn't blogging wonderful!!!!!

Weather is beaut and we're having an X time visiting the touristy places and having fun.

Wish I could show you the photos. Isn't blogging wonderful !! and then you find an Internet Cafe and voila !!!

The journey goes on. In a couple of days we're off to Bang Kok, see you there!

Phil and Hils SO NOW WE HAVE THE IMAGES !!!

Did we or didn't we????

Did we do the bungee jump or not?????? Left Queenstown yesterday, didn't manage a flight to Milford Sound as the weather was against us - even though it was beautiful sunshine in Queenstown!! Hey ho we'll have to make a return trip. We are now in Dunedin - it's been the coldest place yet - it's modelled on Edinburgh - it's cold and windy and that's where the similarity stops!!! We have been to the Otago Peninsula today and seen Albatross, Shags and lots of other wildlife - beautiful. We leave tomorrow for Christchurch, one night there and then its back to Australia/Sydney for 5 nights. The adventure is still continuing.........
