Visiting the wizard of Oz

Well, not really, but yeah.

 We are very bad at writing stories of our trip, but I guess it’s because we are having such a wonderful time and really can’t be bothered. But, anyway, we have been in Australia now for a while and here is what we have done (very roughly) so far.

 Before Autstralia though, we spent some time with Gift and her family in Bangkok, Thailand. We had a lovely proper Thai dinner with Gift’s husband and his family. We also went to markets for shopping.

No photos will be uploaded today because we have to many to choose from, but I hope we’ll be able to do it soon (sorry).

Melbourne:
We stayed at Emma’s and went to Ocean Road, had proper ozzie bbq, went wine tasting, and all-in-all had a terrrific time.

Sydney:
Stayed in Kings Cross, looked at Opera House, Mardi Gras Parade and party, Bondi, Coogee, Manley, Blue Mountains and loads of other stuff.

Brisbane:
So far we have hung out with Kristina and Michael, had dinner at Kristina’s mums place (yummy), and seen Surfers Paradise and Jumper. We have a couple of more days here and Michael and Kristina have it all worked out.

I will upload photos later when I have the time.

Have it great!

Koh Samet

We are writing to you from the Island of Koh Samet, South of Bangkok. We have been here for 3 nights now and have 1 one more to go. After our long journey to Thailand, this has been a wonderful little break before taking on the rest of our trip. Before coming here we spent one night in Bangkok where we had just enough time to do a little sight-seeing, take a tuk-tuk ride to a mystery restaurant (we asked to go to a restaurant our hotel recommended but ended up a completely different restaurant), which luckily turned out to be a rather good one even if it was a bit of a tourist trap. We also managed a massage for a whole hour for 50 Sek per person (!) at a spa, cheap! Since arriving in Koh Samet we have enjoyed the beach, very cheap and tasty thai food and the warm and sunny weather (+30 wonderful degrees every day). We have had dinner every night at very cozy and romantic reaturants located on the beach with the table and chairs directly in the sand. As you can all imagine we are enjoying ourseleves very much!! Tomorrow we are off to Bangok to spend one night at my Thai friend Gift’s house. She has promised to show us some highlights of Bangkok, should be lots of fun! We hope to write again soon and post some picture.
