Round the World

We headed off into Switzerland to drive the San Bernadino pass to add another country to the blog :-)

Such a shame I didn't bring a camera charger so all the photo's are from a disposable...............not so Girl Sensible!

The scenery was stunning, we made our way out of Lake Maggiore over to St Vincent in the Aosta valley. Our hotel appeared to be empty and they allocated us one of their suites for our money.......very nice indeed. Enjoyed the views of the Alps from our window with a bottle of bubbly :-)

We drove to the Matterhorn early the next morning, I was amazed to still find snow on the ground and couldn't resist a snowball fight. We headed to Mont Blanc and were disappointed to find the cable car undergoing in maintenance so we didn't get to go up. Still I wasn't disappointed with the surrounding mountains

We then spent the afternoon walking in the Gran Paradiso National Park before flying home.

The pounds didn't go so far as they did in Asia but a great week away.

We flew to Milan very early on Thursday morning :-)

Headed straight out to Lake Como, it looked stunning even though it was grey :-(

When the sun finally came out it was gorgeous.

We took boat trips all over the lake and ended our last day finding the highest random road on the map and driving it until we reached the top. It was amazing, we got there in time for sunset, what seemed to be a deserted village, slightly eerie but worth it

Next we are off to Aosta valley to see the Matterhorn and Mont Blanc

The weather was gorgeous for the two days we spent in Ko Samui.

It was an early start for our boat trip out to Ang Thong National Marine Park. After a stop in a clear water bay for some snorkeling it was off to see the lagoon at the Marine Park and relax under the palms...... gorgeous :-)

We kayaked again....our favourite thing to combat those bingo wings!

After an exhasting shopping trip early evening we went out for a few cocktails. Everything was closing around midnight so we decided to checkout the lady boys at one of the hostess bars..... interesting!

We caught the ferry from Ko Lanta to Krabi. We found a really cheap room in Krabi town and were pleasantly surprised to find it was really nice.

We took a Kayaking trip in the morning through the limestone formations and then a boat trip to some of the other bays. It was a really nice day out but the weather was not so good, it rained most of the day!

We were so close to Ko Lanta that we thought we would pay it a visit. The island is much quieter than ko Phi Phi so we spent the day relaxing by the pool and the beach, in the shade for me and my sunburn :-(
