Goodbye Bali and hello tour buddies! - Friday 28th March

I'd had a wonderful week with Shane exploring Bali and now it was time to say goodbye! I packed my things and made my way to the airport to fly back to Thailand. I was meeting my tour group in Bangkok. It was a four hour plane journey and really quite smooth. I was greeted by the Bangkok bustle once again and now had the challenge to tail down a taxi and find my meeting point hotel!

The hotel was very impressive and swish. I just had enough time to settle in and relax a bit before heading to the lobby to meet my fellow traveLlers and tour CEO, for a first group meeting. There were fourteen of us, all from different countries and a nice mix of ages too. Our tour CEO gave us some initial information and checked our visas and then we all went around the table and introduced ourselves briefly.

For the fellow solo travellers like me, there is Anne from Canada, who is my roommate, Mike also from Canada. Shirley was also travelling solo and a fellow Brit, from Newcastle. Next, we have Jeff and Chrissy, a couple from Australia and Molly and Dan, a couple from Canada. Holly and Matt, a young couple were also fellow Brits. Gerhard and Christal were German Canadians and brother and sister.
We also have Hailey and Peter, father and daughter Kiwi Aussies. It was great to get to know each other over a yummy Thai dinner. Everyone was just so friendly and fun! I can't wait to explore new areas together :)
