So this is a super quick update because we have been internet booking for hours and are knackered. We have spent the last few days exploring the South, including a night on a luxury rice barge through the backwaters of Kerala which was absolutely fantastic and such a highlight of our entire trip so far. The photos will have to speak for themselves on that one I feel. We have spent the last couple of days in Kochi just faffing around and preparing our plans for South East Asia. Tomorrow we bid goodbye to India and for me personally it is with very mixed feelings indeed. I have loved India, I really have. Every mental, ridiculous minute of it. I will miss this crazy country where "everything is possible... except this. This is not possible". I will miss the people we met and the places we went and the things we did. India has given me new experiences, new confidence, new happiness and, of course, a few new lifelong friends added into the mix. How can I not feel so incredibly grateful and reflect on that with full awareness of not only how lucky I am to have had these experiences, but how lucky I have been to have them with Charlotte and with Rob, Dave and Nick, and Kai, and everyone else we met along the way.
But we are moving on. We fly to Thailand but, because of the flooding we have decided to head straight to Cambodia so have booked a flight for the 7th April, then we'll spend two weeks there, before heading to Vietnam, and then we're coming back to Thailand on 11th May to hopefully meet the boys for Full Moon - that's the plan, anyway. Then we will have a couple of weeks in Thailand and fly to Indonesia possibly via Singapore, then to Sri Lanka and then home. It looks like a busy couple of months, and we are so incredibly excited to be on the move again.
Thanks, though, India. Thanks for everything. Any country where hippies in pirate costumes can get married on a bridge surrounded by monkeys is alright with me.
Love to all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
