In the beginning.....

The Asian Adventure finally began after a loverly christmas in Norway with an unfortunate incident involving my knickers in Heathrow, followed by a long flight to Sri lanka with a ropey entertainment system. However, we arrived unscathed in the early hours and spent the next couple of days reading, sunning and generally relaxing. Sri lanka was really nice, beautiful beach and weather and VERY friendly locals. Unfortunately we had somewhat underestimated our funds on new years eve but managed to blag a cheap whisky with a local, see a fireworks show on the beach and weasel our way into a poolside party at a posh hotel (poss the worst party ever, when a middle aged man tried to push us into the pool to the band playing "she'll be coming round the mountain", we got out of there.)

We then made our way to Bangkok and began the series of massages, lazy beers and obsessions about various styles of culottes and pantalones, I swear I will never wear tight trousers again. I picked up Anna from the airport and the crew was complete.....
