The Last Leg
The Last Leg
So our story comes to an end.
We spent a lovely day in Sydney on Sunday as it was the 75th Anniversary of their Harbour Bridge and there were huge bridge Birthday celebrations and fun and games all day which we were able to watch until it was time to fly out for Bangkok.
A long flight, over 8 hours during which we lost 4 hours due to time changes so we arrived in Bangkok at 0230 in their morning. Very hot and tired.
Never the less we were determined to see as many of the sights as we could and spend a hectic two days up and down the river visiting Royal Palaces and Temples until we were “templed out”. You can see the results here. Apart from the river taxis we also travelled by “Tuk Tuk’ as you can see. No Health and Safety rules here!
Of course we also spent a great deal of time and money in the bespoke tailors ordering some new clothes, that was fun, and provided a respite from teh 37 degree heat and humidity.
Tomorrow it’s another late day as we leave here at 0220 to arrive in Heathrow London at 11.30. What a journey, we hope you have enjoyed reading about it and looking at our pictures.
So for now from John & Susan it’s goodbye to the Orient and hello to Europe.
We are both looking forward to a proper cup of tea.

Posted this to your website E mail but it bounced back. Thought I'd try and leave it leave it hear on this 40th anniversay day!!
Hello
Too old for Radio 1 these days (42!!!) so don't listen that much but today's breakfast show was fun. I sometimes think that the BBC doesn't pay enough attention to its heritage and I really hope they made you welcome today. It looked like you enjoyed it from the webcast! Especially when Chris played those slightly chessy but absolutely WONDEFUL jingles. Why have jingles died these days?
Best wishes
Mark
Radio (especially BBC!) fan
