We make chocolates but I think MR's are better, well maybe just as good. Wine is everywhere and they are generous with their tastings and will freight it home for you. I always say to my overseas friends to buy what they like, it's just a drink, and it's important when they open a bottle at home, it's to their taste. After BKK you will be ok for our roads, hire yourself a car and get lost every now and then, we drive on the left like you, but we believe the red light mean stop and we wear seat belts. I am away a lot in the next week but pm me if you want more info or clarification on points of interest. regards
Thanks very much for that, I can't wait! The only downside is the flight to Perth will now be an overnight flight on the A330.
