Day 0   27th Nov ’25

Note it is Day Zero. We haven’t left yet, but in a few hours we are. The Navigator has been packing for weeks, and trying to decide how little, how much, how hot, what coat do I need, do I need these tablets, and on and on and on. It’s draining.

Anyway, tomorrow us Day 1, tomorrow night we’ll be dining in Bangkok.

This trip is semi adventure.

The travellers are;

Pauolo – that’s me, aka Paul

The Navigator – thats Genelle

Al – that would Dave

H  – that’s Helen

I’ll try and come up with more disparaging creative names as true characters reveal themselves under pressure.

The Plan

1. Train to Sydney
2. Fly to Bangkok for short orientation of big SE Asian city  things
3. Fly to Chiang Mai in northern Thailand
4. Drive via Chiang Rai to Chiang Khong on the Mekong River
5. Cross into Laos and 2 Days on a slow boat on the Mekong via Pak Beng to Luang Prabang.
6. 9 Days chilling in Luang Prabang
7. Fly home via Bangkok

Ciao from Sydney
