LON to BKK 2008 (Remastered 2012)

With planing well underway for my 2015 trip and a new web site under construction it seemed like a good time to revisit my trip from London to Thailand back in 2008. As this new site will be the home for all future travels it only seems right that it should be the home for my old ones too. I have copied my old blog here post by post with some spelling and grammar correction as well as some additional photos.

    LON to BKK – Brussels

    Brussels 198 miles

    So my trip started yesterday from St Pancreases International, which is looking lovely and new. I wonder how long it will be until UAE have a longer champagne bar? The Eurostar was easy as usual but I lost my window seat to a crazy French lady with a nasty cough. Even though Brussels is tiny I seem to keep walking in circles (what is it going to be like when I can’t understand the street sign!). Tried to find a bar under the railway that has art instillations and stuff last night but couldn’t find the entrance which is a real shame, I was hoping it would be like the shunt lounge. Went for a swim this morning in a lovely art deco building, speedos and swimming caps obligatory. I am now writing this on my iPod sat in a bar with free wifi, trying to kill time until my train to Berlin at midnight. What are you meant to do with your time when you don’t work?
