It's the last day and depressingly, our countdown clock is into single figures for hours!! We've just been spending the last two days pottering around the Khao San, trying to buy presents for various people, which is a lot more difficult than I was expecting it to be. Also just been doing lots of socialising, meeting as many new people in two days as possible, which probably would've been a much higher number if the Khao San hadn't seemed to have shut down for the last two days.

I can't really begin to sum up the whole trip. The five weeks have flown, though at times it feels like we've been here all our lives. It's been amazing and enthralling to visit a country and experience a culture that is so different and so similar to our own. There are loads of stories and anecdotes that haven't made it on to the blog, mainly because I'm lazy but I'm sure they'll all come out whenever we see all of ye again. (I may even re-enact the Full Moon up in Fanad!!)

We'll be leaving here in just under two hours (with probably grossly overweight bags!!) and then the adventure will have finished, but I want to thank everyone who has been following our progress and adding their comments and sending us emails. There have been 5222 hits from 396 visits, which is not to shabby at all.

Hope to see you all soon
