Bangkok Done!!!!!

We have now left Bangkok and we are staying with our friend in Sydney.

So Bangkok is finish.

While leaving Bangkok Customs I was taken aside by a security office and asked do I have knife in my bag? I would not have been that foolish to leave a knife in my bag so I said " no officer". He then emptied my bag of jumpers, mp3 player and all and found no knife. He then put it though the x-ray machine again and he said the knife was still there. I said "officer I can assure you there is no knife in my bag" as I was taking to the man I put my hand in the bag to show him. To my horror I found my penknife. I was asked to put it into the box never to been seen again. I would like to say this is not the first and I'm sure it will not be the last of my pen knifes to be confiscated

My trip though customs got even worst when we reached Australia. They do not allow you to bring food, wood, or mud on your walking boots. Well I have recently walked around the Isle of white with my Dad and I'm ashamed to admit that I had not cleaned them thoroughly. When asked by the Australian customs if our boots were clean. Zoe answered first and said "of course they are" they checked and her boots were spotless. I said mine had a little mud on them by some luck they did not ask to see my boots as we then saw other people having their shoes taken away!

And so the next chapter is Australia.........
