AIM House, Bangkok, Day 7

So our final day is here. We plan to finish our shopping in the MBK centre and then chill out before a log day flying tomorrow.
When we wake up it is already nearly 10 o clock. We jump onto the skytrain and head to the end of line and the mall. We walk in and enjoy a day inside in the air conditioning. We eat our dinner in the huge food court, where I have a lovely chicken kebab, and we finally get all our presents brought (and do a little more for ourselves). After a good few hours we head back to the room and prepare for tomorrow.
Somehow the multitude of clothes and all the new stuff that are sprawled out all over the room fit into our bags. It is a struggle, but we have over six months of experience at packing bags now so we somehow manage.
We have our taxi booked for 4.30, and it is all very real now. The prospect of all the home comforts that are soon to be ours is very exciting. We are trading hot weather for snow, but the idea of sitting on a sofa watching sky tv with a cup of tea makes up for that.
For tea we just go down the road to the van and have some noodle soup. We did want to go somewhere nicer for our final meal but it is all so far away, and it kind of feels right that we are eating noodles at the side of the road, just like we did the first night in Hanoi.
We finish off in bed with strawberries and ice cream before I watch the football and Amy goes to sleep. It has been a great trip, and I hope one day these posts will be great to look back on. For now though, it is time to get back to Hull, and even though we love the countries out here, it certainly feels good to be going home!Baca lagi
