Last blog! Holy cow, how did we get here? Has it really been a year already? No, not really, just 11 months (11 months and 6 days, actually, but who's counting?). Tomorrow morning I'll be loading my life into the back of the car, at the break of dawn (so around 8 o'clockish), then it's off to nice train station and goodbye France.
Two days of travel later and I'll be finding myself in Brisbane airport, 8h30ish in the morning, tired, scarfed, a bit cranky, but happy to be back and able to breath air at sea level again. Oh! That reminds me, the World Tour of International Airports and Various Train Stations has had a venue change from Bangkok to Singapore, due to recent events.
That's if the tour even kicks off, by the way. The thai coup d'état is about the 4th thing that could go wrong during the tour. Others include:
1. The car not starting due to un-treated diesel in the tank freezing over
2. A general strike at SNCF, meaning all TGVs being cancelled, and,
3. Snow at Paris' Charles de Gaulle airport stopping planes from taking off.
Let's all cross our fingers, eh?

Also, the wings may fall off this Qantas plane too...
