Yoghurt fans, like myself, will be familiar with Saint Muller Lite’s philosophy of “so much pleasure, but where’s the pain?” The pleasure is obviously the amazing experience we will have for the next 6 months. However, I’ll tell you where the pain is:
The OVER 24 hour’s its going to take me to get to get there!
YES, that's no typo – it will take more than 24 hours to get there! aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!
Don’t believe me?! Well, being the ingenious mathematician that I am, I will work this out for you:
PART 1: Fly from London to Bombay = 8 hrs 20min
PART 2: Stop over in Bombay = 7hrs 25 min (YES, spend the night in a Bombay airport for…ah I don’t have the heart to type it again!)
PART 3: Fly to Bangkok = 3hrs 45min
PART 4: Stop over in Bangkok = 3 hrs
PART 5: Fly to Krabi = 1hr 20min (I get rescued by the lovely hubby here)
PART 6: Taxi/bus (im hoping taxi) to the hotel in Ao Nang = 40 min by taxi or 2 hrs by bus
A grand total of more than 24 HOURS to reach my destination
I have failed to include the fact that I will have to leave home early in the morning, train it to the airport which takes 1hr 30min and make it in time for the “check in 3 hours before departure”! So really you can add 4 ½ hours to the above journey time.
The husband will be in a similar boat (or plane should I say ha ha!) when he flies off in 2 weeks time. Although he will spend a night in Bangkok before flying off to Phuket the next day. At least I will be rescued by him when I land, I won’t have to wander around on my own looking for transport and accommodation.
So, why didn’t we take the 13hr direct flight to Bangkok I hear you ask? Well, we are planning on visiting India after we have covered SE Asia so this was the ticket we had to get.
Now my good friends, if you could come up with some fun ways to keep myself awake and to entertain myself i'd be MOST GRATEFUL!
