well back in blighty. Jet lagged knackered skin like shrivelled walnuts me lighter and Dave heavier.
We have really enjoyed it and i am concerened that post thai blues are going to set in with a vengance.
I have kept a journal a hand written one with me and i will refer back to that when I do some blogs. won't have much time over the next few days as we have loads of admin type things to do and so many people to show the tan to before it goes!
Dave aldo needs to get some work as well.
Have to say it was good to sleep in my bed last night we have a super king sized memory foam and the beds all over thailand are HARD
we have met some great people and stayed in some great places.

Glad to hear you have arrived safe and sound in good old Lancashire. God !!all them pork pies and mushy peas to scoff Mmmm not to mention the cod and chips (you can see I'm an ex-pat)
Know what you mean about the bed as we have the same size memory foam (Tempur) and is fabulous and I really miss it when away. Some mattresses are as hard as a cats head.
No doubt you'll be catching up with the grandkids and didn't you really miss them... it's ALL about them now but bloody glad when they go home LoL
Look forward to your JBR ... the long winded the better.
Cheers Geri

Agree about matresses. How about those ones you find in Thailand that are filled with coconut fibres - packed solid they're like wood. I like a firm matress but some in Thailand are ridiculous, at my condo the matress was like sleeping on the floor, so I added a small foam overlay and that's made it bearable. Mind you, I never have back problems in Thailand.

Glad you made it safely back and without too much grief. There must have been some so look forward to the JBR parts 1, 2 3 etc.

As they say, leave only footprints, take only memories and I am sure these will last you a long time.
