We are now on Day 31 of our voyage around the world.
After a hectic weekend of travelling down the west coast of Thailand, a crazy detour night in Bangkok and climbing those towers in KL, the steamer has arrived in Koh Samui off the east coast of Thailand.
Welcome to your palm tree and your hammock - what a way to spend a Monday! Books, sun cream, hat, sunglasses, snorkel gear and your favourite cocktail awaits you.
The weekly stats for last week are phenomenal. To get around the world in 80 days, we need to achieve 501 kms per day or 3507 per week. What we ended up achieving was on average 595kms per day and 4169.46kms for the week. With the extra kms in the suitcase, I have some day trips planned. You will definitely love all of these and not too much of a detour before we reach Hongkong.

And for everyone else (including me) well done for sticking with the challenge and not giving up. You will be thankful you didn't. It probably doesn't feel that way right now and you want to do much more. But you are not in competition with anyone - this is your very special journey. As long as keep on moving and don't stand still then you are making progress.
Please post your kms/steps/miles for Monday 25 January.
Had a little too much sun/heat here over the last week or so and tonight it's raining
It sounds beautiful, not too heavy but certainly sending down the millimetres. Loving it!
Having an early night so I can lay in bed and relax just listening to the rain falling. The temperature has dropped and I can hear thunder in the distance. Wonderful.
I clocked up all of 2kms today Monday 25th January.
QD - are you in Oz? Given the amount of extra kms we are clocking up, I've decided we are going to take a hot air balloon to Alice Springs and climb Ayers Rock. We will be there on Saturday.
Wow. I was born in Melbourne but came to uk when I was 2 1/2... I would love to go air ballooning to Ayers Rock, I went from Bristol Balloon festival last year and loved it! All back to QD's for a barbie after 😉🎉👍🏻
Yes indeed, barbie at our place. Shopping today for the sausages bacon & steak and we'll be making lots of salads & potato bake. Hope yous all like trifle & cheesecake
Ahhh - what a lovely relaxing time
Posting a bit early today as I've done my kms for the day and am going to be a bit busy later and tomorrow...
Excellent moreless I see from reading an earlier post you have now got yourself a new rowing machine (cool) very well done for every single km kicked you rock
12 km to report today. Legs a bit sore from all those steps yesterday in Kuala Lumpur but so pleased we got to the top. It was a bit embarrassing the way the others had to push me up the last few flights though. Will have to get better at stairs. The Koh Samui cocktails are just perfect today.
Your average daily stats for last week were 5.03kms. This is an increase of 1 kms compared to last week. Remember you're not in competition with the other travellers 😃😃
Oh wow! Haven't we all done well! Im amazed to see my name up there in lights with the Stars, as well. All in all, today has been a fabulous day with you all, enjoying a laze on the hammock 😀... Oh dear! Today's total doesn't match up to last week's figures.... 6.7km walking and a very important 26 X 25m lengths swimming oh my goodness I'm thrilled to be able to swim albeit slooowwwly! Hmmm do I have to get out of this hammock? Hmmmm....
I'm afraid my reply to you is extremely tardy rainshine. I'm not sure if I've missed people, or my replies have vanished, but your posts seem very familiar. My apologies anyway.
Well done with the swimming, it's a loooooong time since I clocked up any laps - about 30 odd years I reckon
You're a star for getting your name in lights and you've got plenty of time to make sure you do it again
Hi moreless, thank you- I am not offended, I know you have a heap on your plate (oh wrong thing to think of! ooops!). I'm still trying to cope with having bought a brand new pair of size 14 jeans and fitting them. I mean, fitting them without having to lie on the bed and deploy a wire coathanger to get the zip up. and strangely I have been feeling hungry ever since. Can't figure it out, if I weigh in on a Monday morning and I've done well I instantly break out in a rash of uncontrolled snacking. Perhaps I need to stay in the hammock then I wont be able to reach any snacks!
Meantime unfortunately the weather and my aches and gremlins and work have curtailed my kilometres. I'm still thrilled to have swum again!
I like to reply to everyone henlady, I feel it's the least I can do when travellers have put so much time and energy into clocking up the K's and posting their successes
It's FizzyLiz that does all the hard work with the challenge, I just do the yapping, which comes easy to me
