Routine
13th
October 2004
 Hi Everyone,
How long since I sent you a message? I have no idea so
I thought I should send one right now. I don't really
think I have all that much to say at the moment, I've
got into the groove at work so just the normal routine
that is the life of a group leader.
You
know same old same old. Sunrise at Angkor Wat today swimming
at Halong Bay tomorrow interspersed with some long bus
trips and dodgy airline flights.
I
was scheduled for a couple of weeks off where I was going
to climb Vietnam's tallest mountain - Fansipan or affectionately
known as Fancypants then head down to the island of Phu
Quoc. But good old reliable Marlo got a phone call from
Melbourne office asking if I could fill in a trip so today
I am starting the Indochina loop trip (29 days Bangkok
to Siem Reap through Thailand, Lao, Vietnam and Cambodia)
The same trip I lead blind a couple of months ago. I am
looking forward to it as I now have a clue as to where
and what we are meant to be doing, but it is a long trip.
I
have been going to the Thai kickboxing gym a bit to let
out my frustrations before the trip starts and the trainers
asked if I wanted to have a fight. A couple of the Thai
guys are training for the competition which comes at the
end of Buddhist lent (next week) so they wanted me to
go along and get the crap beaten out of me, probably for
a good laugh on their part! As I will be in the middle
of Lao I had to decline but I'm sure it would have been
pretty cool - until I bust my nose, bruise my eyes and
limp for a week.
