Goodbyes

Sadly, our time in Chiang Mai came to an end.

Verdict on the trip? We all had a good time. But then again, we usually do as a family. Was it the most exciting or memorable trip we’ve ever taken? No. But that wasn’t really the point.

It was a short break that did exactly what it needed to do. Time together. A change of scenery. Space to slow down and step away from the everyday rhythm of life. And as an added bonus… it was cheap. Which never hurt! There were many more chapters to go in the "Festival of Fifty"...

We flew back to Singapore on the same Scoot flight, then parted ways at Changi airport. Mal and the boys stayed overnight at an airport hotel, opting for an early morning flight back to Sydney rather than the age-inducing overnight option.

Lara, my parents, and I headed back to the family apartment. Which of course meant one thing.

More eating.
