Home safe and sound ...

Hi everyone,
We're home safe and sound from our South East Asian adventure. The train back up to Bangkok was great - I had a bed and everything! The flight back to London was ok - they had hardly any vegetarian food for us and mummy and daddy were very angry. I didn't manage to sleep much on either of the flights, so when we were in London I was behaving like I was drunk from sheer exhaustion!
Anyway, we collected Zeus and are now back into our routine at home. It's very cold though - we had to buy portable radiators to keep the chill away.
I started pre-school this week - I go by myself three mornings a week. There are only eight children in the school so I am getting lots of attention. I LOVE IT!
We have to wear a uniform too, so stay tuned for pictures of me in my first school uniform.
Hope January is treating you well and here's to a fantastic 2009.
Much love.

All smiles on my Thailand holiday ...

Tarzan in training ...

Daddy and I on my favourite beach swing on Lamai Beach in Koh Samui.
It was pretty high and went out over the sea but I LOVED it!

I'm a bit confused ...

It seemed like where we were in Thailand there were lots of men who looked like ladies. They had amazing outfits but they still had hands like my Daddy!
I was a little confused at first but once I called them pretty ladies and they smiled it was much easier!

Happy New Year everyone!
I'm still in Thailand and about to make the trek from the holiday isle of Koh Samui back up to Bangkok by bus, ferry, train, and tuk tuk before flying back to London.
It's been an interesting three weeks in the (sometimes) sun.
Let me explain ...
The flight out was really fun - I got a free backpack and when we stopped off at Doha I got to play in an amazing kids play area.
This kept mummy and daddy happy as unfortunately they were both very sick for the plane journey - and most of the the first week of our hols :-(
We stayed in Lamai on Koh Samui first of all, at The Spa where Uncle Andre and Aunty Vicky were holidaying. It was nice to see them but we were still a bit sick. I even had to go to hospital myself, my cough was so bad. No fun.

We had Christmas Day at The Spa (hurrah, Santa found me) and on Boxing Day moved to the north of the island to Bo Phut. It was very quiet and expensive up there but we needed to get a bigger base as Aunty Claire was arriving from Sydney.
It was good to see her - I wasn't very shy at all and remembered her from her photos.

By this time we were feeling better so we hired a jeep and went off a did lots of cool things. We trekked to a waterfall (remember never to climb down a hillside in croc shoes), went to a butterfly farm
which was great, and I got to ride on an elephant through the jungle with Aunty Claire.

I loved it! I sang 'Nelly The Elephant' all the way round, but I think Aunty Claire was worried we might fall off like the man 'steering' the elephant did. She was holding onto me very tightly! And I got to give the elephants some bananas afterwards.
