Day 64- A slice of paradise

Oh my, what a day! 

We got off our overnight train this morning at about 7. We took a trip to a local village to have some breakfast. The Thai jungle is so stunning! 





After this we took a trip to Ratchaprapha dam. We got on a boat and went to a little restaurant in the middle of the huge lake amongst all the islands. Here I found another slice of paradise and fell completely in love... 





We fed the local fish. Fishing here is heavily controlled with quotas on how many fish can be caught. Also restrictions on methods and the size of fish that can be caught. 




Attempt one of getting into the hammock was not a huge success.



Attempt two however was more successful. 

I had the best time kayaking, swimming and floating around in rubber rings. 




I just keep pinching myself. How is this my reality? How am I this lucky? The world just keeps getting more beautiful. 

We then took a bus to Koh Sok National Park. As we arrived the heavens opened and we witnessed the most fantastic thunderstorm.



We have also had visitors outside our hotel room... I definitely won’t be leaving it too often! They aren’t cute playful monkeys! They are the vtype that jump at you! #prayfornorabies

An Update

Things over the last week have developed and happened really quickly. I am still trying to process how I feel. I will get round to calling everyone and talking to everyone but right now I am selfishly putting myself and my well-being (both mentally and physically first). On Tuesday I was informed I no longer had my job in Australia. This was the start of the collapse of my dream. A lot of people were in the same position and with the job market in Australia becoming more and more dire each day, thousands of people including Australians loosing their jobs, businesses shutting left right and centre as well as the daily reports that flights out of Australia were shutting down I was left with one option. I had to leave. At the time this did not feel like a choice. I knew I didn’t have the financial ability to support myself for the next 6 months, which is potentially how long it would have taken to restore any normality. I had enough money in Australia to buy a ticket home, which...

Bikinis, boat parties and first dates! 27.01.20- 02.02.20

In my effort to keep people updated more with my life I am going to try and write at least one post a week. No promises but here is my summary of the last week! Monday was a public holiday here in Australia which could mean only one thing... brunch and a day at the beach! Amanda and I decided to head on the ferry to Watson’s bay! Shamefully this is the first time that I had been on the ferry! It was absolutely beautiful seeing the city from the boat. The Sydney skyline is actually pretty spectacular.  We arrived at Watson bay and headed to the Watson bay hotel for a spot of brunch. It was delicious. Obviously it would not be brunch without cocktails. It was a day of sitting on the beach and soaking up the sun. Whilst we were there I had a hinge message. For those not in the know, hinge is a dating app. I haven’t dated anyone since leaving the UK but thought it would be fun whilst I am relatively settled in sydney. The message was from a guy called Dan, as...

What I gave up when I left home

Someone I met on my travels said to me ‘everyone long term travelling is either running from something or trying to find something’. Since hearing this I have thought a lot about this. I have said this to other people and am yet to find someone who disagrees.  Whilst I hose down pens or do other cleaning jobs which don’t require much thinking I think about home, I think about the reasons I left and I try to figure out why I left to travel. Some people might think it’s obvious, I mean who doesn’t want to see the world and have fun. You may be asking if they are reason enough but the truth is for most control freaks like myself that wasn’t a good enough reason to leave. Before I can even decide why I left I need to consider what I was giving up. Some days it feels like I gave up so much. The most obvious things I gave up were; Being able to see my family everyday Having awesome friends around An awesome career which for my age was something I was really proud of Having my ...
