Well Folks, Marty here reporting from Bangkok. Finally made it late tuesday morning after a marathon journey from Sydney. Arrived in Sydney last Thursday from Brisbane, Very sad to leave Jacqui but it won't be long until i see her again 
Went To our Cousin Paula's house and stayed with her. Steve and Sinead had been living with her for last few weeks. Had an amazing weekend getting to know her and her husband Graeme, and can't thank them enough for what they did for us. Their kids; Jack, Joe and Finn are amazing and hope we can see them all again soon.
Left Sydney on Monday afternoon, arrived at airport only to find that i wasn't booked on flight, after lots of confusion and worrying they finally put me on! Then when i had been checked in, my name was called over the PA system! Ran to check in desk only to be told it was another Fisher! Made my way onto plane and all set for take-off when we informed that there was a problem with the engine, taxied back to terminal where 1 hour later we were told there was a problem with the fuel valve! At this point really started worrying! They changed the fuel valve and carried out a test run on it only to find out the new valve was leaking more fuel than the last one! Another one was replaced and after 4 hours of sitting on the runway the plane finally made it into the air! All this and on 9/11 too! Nothing like doing things in halves!
Was meant to arrive into Bangkok at 11pm but the delay meant i arrived in at 3am and by time i made my way through customs and taxi to hostel it was 3.30am. Arrived at hostel to find it closed! At this point with hardly any sleep, on my own and in bangkok began to really worry! Nothing else to do but sit outside the hostel until 7am and someone finally woke up and let me in!
Went to bed for a few hours kip and got up at 12 and then took a guided tour around in a tuk tuk, a rickshaw type motorbike thing! Very dangerous but good fun! Made my way round some temples and buddhist temples!
Today i went to the Bridge over the River Kwai, where the famous Burma-Thai Railway was built, walked over one of the bridges built by the allies, we also took a train ride over another one of the bridges. Quite an amazing site. Then went to local village on the Burma border and went for a trek on back of elephant through the jungle! Have to say it was one of the highlights of the trip so far. Then went up raft up river throught jungle.
So absolutely exhausted after the last few days, can't wait for the next two weeks though, Hanoi on Friday so that should be fantastic.
Stayed Tuned for more updates,
Hope you enjoy the pics, take care
Marty
Blue Peter Morning with Steve & Sinead with Jack and Joe
Wow! Kewl pics.... it looks kinda cold there, but I'm guesing by the fact you're wearing shorts and t-shirt, that isn't the case?
