homeward bound (almost)

Am in Bangkok now off to Hanoi first thing tomorrow morning from there on in i will be traveling back towards NZ. 

I think that i have now finalized my plans to get back home.  From Hanoi i will head down through Vietnam to the bottom then across Cambodia back to Thailand, from there i have a flight booked from Kuala Lumpur on the 6th Dec then the train from Perth to Sydney from the 9th to the 12th, will be in Sydney for a couple of days then have a flight from Sydney to Auckland on the 15th Dec.  From there i will do a bit of visiting, and find some warm clothes in my storage unit, then depending on circumstances either fly down to Wanganui with Al McAuley or bus or train down. At this stage i unfortunately probably won't be able to stop in Adelaide as i can only find one train per week.

Anyway now you know my plans so i will see you when i see you along this route.

Big news today was finding a cheap copy of the lonely planet for Vietnam and Cambodia after i stupidly left my south east Asia lonely planet in Chang Mai.I got it for $5:30NZ this afternoon after all the sellers in the stalls this morning told me i would never get it for less than $31NZ (score).  On the plus side the new book weighs less so i think tomorrows flight i don't have to wear my heavy hot clothes to keep my carry on luggage below the weight limit of 7kg.
