Arrived Safely!

We have arrived safely in wet wet London! We had no idea that when we arrived London had just received an entire months worth of rain in ONE night. All the trains were delayed and it was IMPOSSIBLE and quite dangerous trying to fit into them. There were throusands of people pushing and getting stuck in the doors. Proved pretty difficult with our massive packs on our backs! We were thinking 'oh my gosh is this what it's going to be like!' Thank goodness we found out it was due to flooding. 

This didn't help that all the commuters needed to be home to vote (I'm sure you've seen the news).

Our Airbnb accommodation had emailed us to let us know that he couldn't have us anymore. It took us a long time to find somewhere within our budget, finally found a place for the week!

We have been to our appointments with our consultant to sign contracts and get all our information sorted. He has organised our bank appointment to set up accounts too. We are spending this week viewing flats/houses to live in. It's all pretty chaotic! Hopefully we will find some time to explore :-)

I (Grace) have a day relief teaching on Tuesday next week at my school that I begin working at in September. So looks like I better get shopping for a more professional look!!

Much love xx

Chiang Mai

We spent the day at Huay Tung Tao lake in Chiang Mai yesterday. What a gorgeous wee spot. No tourists. Just a few locals and their children floating around. There's a whole lot of these little huts (pictured) all around the lake with a couple of local restaurants attached. A lovely day relaxing and reading in the sun :-)  On Wednesday we ventured up into the Doi Suthep Poi National Park on the scooter. We found a beautiful temple ( not surprising!) in a very cute mountain village. Most people were visiting the temple and then heading back down the mountain..(as many people take small buses or Tuk tuks). We decided to head further up to see what we could find. Came across the most beautiful little village called Doi Pui. At the highest point of the mountain.. It was the most gorgeous wee village with beautiful flower gardens and a small waterfall. Well worth the extra drive!!  Hope everyone is well back in New Zealand. We do miss you!! Xx Grace

Hello :-)

Hello Everyone! Sorry we have been away from the computer the last few days! Both Theo and I have been unwell with a bad tummy bug :-S We were trapped in our Bangkok accommodation for about three days! Luckily we were able to do some exploring before and after all of this, and we are now at the airport heading to Chiang Mai for the week. Bangkok has been pretty chaotic, we started out just off Khaosan Road which is the backpackers central. In his element ordering Thai street food (Probably what made him sick !!) We then moved to a quieter area but still close to everything. We took the boat ferry for 14 Baht each ( 60 cents ) to the Grand Palace. What a beautiful place! But as usual, packed with tourists! On the boat taxi We saw a Symphony Orchestra in the park More updates to come. Miss and love you all xxx
