Leaving London...

So there's twenty five minutes until we have to leave for Southgate station to go to Heathrow to fly to Bangkok. You think we'd be pretty organised huh? Erm, not as the case may be. Well, I'm organised, have tried to post home my parcel full of Christmas presents only to be told that it's going to cost me £65 to send 2.07 kilograms to Australia. I spluttered and cried foul and then quietly returned all of the presents. I'm sorry guys. i just can't afford to spend $130 Aussie dollars on postage. So what are Andre and I ddoing at this cosmic moment? I'm waiting for my oven chips to finish cooking so I don't have to pay for food at Heathrow. Andre is running around like a chook with its head cut off. She is so far from organised I dread to think of it. I have yet to do a few little things like drop a bag off at Oxfam and go to the bank to withdraw cash. She has a few little things to do... like finish packing. I choose not to think about it at this cosmic moment!!! So i'm a bit sad to be leaving London, I'm always sad to leave where ever I am though. I'm comforted by the fact that it has rained all day it's pitch black to 4.10pm and the top temperature today was 4 degrees celcius. Yup, there is definitely an upside on returning to the southern hemisphere!

Anyway, this is the start of four and a half months in south east asia for us; taking in Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia, Indonesia and Hong Kong. Following that there's a month in New Zealand and then back home to Melbourne, hopefully safe and sound! Then of course there's the wedding, but that's another blogs worth!

Things I am going to miss most about London:
Friends
Andre's Family
The antiodean scene
Temple Walkabout
Pubs
Islington
Jim Thompson's
Mayonasise
Chocolate
Clubbing on a Monday
Marks and Spencers Food Hall

That's not all, but it's a best of I guess :)

Thanks for reading, commenting, calling and texting guys. I really appreciate it. I know it's easy to tune someone out when they're gone for as long as I've been and it shows what awesome friends you are that you keep writing and informing, humouring and keeping me in the loop.

Love you guys,

P.S. When I get to Bangkok are you finally all going to stop boasting about your nice weather? :P
