Rainy Queensland

We're in Brisbane now, and the rain is pouring down... funny you might think, considering that there hasn't been any rain here for ages (years, some people say!). All locals are happy, telling us that it will rain for the whole week. We're not laughing. Hoping for better weather in Sydney.

Ester really enjoyed our visit to Ayutthaya (a World Heritage Site!), regardsless of what you might think looking at this picture...

After a long day of sight seeing, falling asleep on a bus might be one of my favourite things... and apparently that gene has been handed down to the next generation.

Thailand!

We're in Thailand! Spent 3 nights in Bangkok before leaving for Koh Chang yesterday. After 8 hours of travelling we arrived at our hotel on the island, and we're having a great time! The long (10 h) flight, was fine, going on buses for hours have been fine too, and Ester seems to enjoy herself a lot. She's SO excited, looking at everything, waving at everyone and laughing all the time. The thai people really love children, and whereever we go someone wants to hold her, or play with her or just touch her fat, white legs :) It's great!

We're staying on Koh Chang for 1 week before continuing to Australia, and I'll try to write more soon!

3 days left...

Getting nervous... sorting out heaps of stuff to bring:

• travel cot for Ester
• smart baby chair thing that is attached to a regular chair
• mosquito net and rain protection for the pram
• kettle
• sun protection (clothes and sun screen)
• thermos
• the whole travel medication set
• and of course diapers and baby food... I know... perhaps not necessary, but I'm not taking any chances when it comes to searching in vain for diapers on a secluded island in thailand, or trying to feed Ester boiled rice and curry for 12 days...
