The end is nigh...

It seems somehow an appropriate way to end our trip to be sitting in a 24 hour internet cafe at 4.30 am, having been travelling for nearly 24 hours (through Valentines day) to get to Kuala Lumpur. At least it reminds me that I am probably ready for a break from this travelling malarky. It's easy to forget when lying on another beach in Thailand, but it's time to go home. At least for a while! So, a day to spend here and then it's off in the morning, flying at 9.30am. I'm excited, happy to be seeing family and friends, happy that I can eat cheese, drink wine and have a bath (possibly at the same time). On the other hand, I'm apprehensive about the weather (I start shivery at approximately 20 degrees), not quite sure I want to do any work and, well, can't believe the year is just about over. The last few days in Koh Samui have been a good way to end our trip. Very touristy, very busy, but lovely weather, lovely beaches, good food and plenty of shopping to stock up on last minute souvenirs and presents. We've both got the tans to a jealousy inducing level, although Kev's thighs are perhaps verging a little on the red side - but hey, who's going to see them in winter? So that's very nearly it. One more entry to come - the journey home and perhaps a little 'highlights of the trip' to finish on. Which probably won't include sitting in an internet cafe at 5am in KL.
