Whirlwind tour of Asia



After some time travelling you’d think we would have organised ourselves more efficiently. We had our tickets to Bangkok from a good deal with Jetstar..looking to catch a Thai Air flight to Kathmandu from there…..and then Air Asia were damn sneaky and started flying direct to KTM…from Kuala Lumpur…and the extra leg to KL plus the KTM bit was still a better deal…if a little bit less than a straight line. Not sure if you add the nights in the hotel and the running around in Bangkok playing tourist that it worked out financially but hey…it was a lot of fun. All the usual opportunities to get kidnapped by tuk tuk drivers to go to their favourite jewellery shops and the marvellously over the top Grand Palace. At least we were there long enough to have dinner at one of the sidewalk café’s and to get a thai massage. 

  
Possibly should’ve checked on this first…thought I could be in a bit of trouble when I glanced sideways and saw the masseur beside me balancing on his elbows as he dug them  into a protesting back. The sound track of accompanying whimpers and not so quiet screams were all that was needed to complete the picture…and still I had to pay….next time it’s the really wimpy massage for me.
