End of Placement Trip

Hi All,

Well as we have a confirmed leave date of 10th June 2011 we have planned the next few months and here are the details......

June
Finish placement and then travel within Cambodia to see friends and places we haven't had chance to see yet. We will make way over land to Thailand as we have plans for 1st July

July
1st July we register at a Tiger Sanctuary on Kachanburi (www.tigertemplegroup.org) for one months voluntary work. We will be helping them feed and bathe tiger cubs, clean the tigers and show tourists around along with any other work they want us to do. The tigers are NOT kept behind cages and are NOT drugged.... Yes we may be crazy but this is a great opportunity.. Have a read on their website and you'll see why we are happy to go there.

August
We have a week in ChangMai (North Thailand) and then we will head off to North Laos and then cross over into North Vietnam. We fly from Hanoi to Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City) and then onto Jakarta (Indonesia). We have time to island hop to see Java, Sumatra and then Bali.

September
We start in Bali and then fly to New Zealand (for the Rugby World Cup - thank you very much!!!). We (Anthony) has managed to get 2 tickets to two of Englands games (yes Rachel is going along). The rest of the time we will be travelling around the South Island and Anthony wants to go to a rugby training session at a local rugby club and possibly see if he can get a game!!!

October
Still in New Zealand to start with but we fly back to Bali for a couple of days before we head off back to UK

We land back in UK on 9th October... and then it is back to reality ie. sorting out our house, buy a car, see family/friends etc before Rachel goes back to work on 1st November!!!!

Hopefully we will be able to update the blog whilst we are on our travels....

Anthony & Rachel
