Leaving the Kok

want to go to the markets. She went back to the guesthouse as she needed something, and I went to Dave's shop. As I arrived at the door, a voice bellowed out, "would you fucking stop following me". I looked up, and couldn't believe my eyes. There was Colin, standing in front of me !!! He came in and met Dave, as he had been reading the stories and felt like he knew some of the people. I think he had a secret hankering to meet Welf, but as he was now back in Aus, he had to make do with Colin. We asked him where George was, but she was in her room as she was feeling pretty sick. Lucy arrived, and we decided that if George was up to it, we would meet up later. A couple of hours later, they both showed up. We said our goodbyes to Dave, and I must really thank him for all the advice he gave us and I think he needs to thank Lucy and myself as well, as it is low season at present and without us sitting in his shop, I think he would have slit his wrists as he was pretty bored most of the days !!!

The four of us went out for the last supper. Me, doing my best Jesus impersonation, and Lucy doing a Mary M !!!!! It was really good to spend the last evening with people we had met on our trip. We spoke about the past and the future, and the beers were flowing for the three of us. As it was now pretty late, we took George back and said our goodbyes, and then took Colin out for more beers. We were going to have an early night, but we now had the taste. They were flowing nicely, but realising the error of our ways, we walked Colin back, because we were worried that he might get attacked by the ladyboys !!! And then we said our last goodbye.

It was hard getting up early, but we managed it. And then we were at the airport. And then it happened, the end of this little journey was upon us.

It had been a great time in the last year travelling around. We had not achieved everything that we wanted to do, but sometimes getting sick can change things. If I had not caught Hepatitis E in India, we would still be in India now. We had so many plans, but these will be saved until the next trip, which, by chance, we have now started planning for. But there is no need to worry, as we are now going back to the UK, there is the Oktoberfest coming up, and also Australia will be coming over for rugby trips, so some more drunken abusive stories will be coming your way !!!
