Darwin to Chaingmai

Thursday 3am awake and take Taxi to Darwin Airport. 10am Change planes at Singapore. Children do circuits on the "travelators" the horizontal escalators.  Midday finds us collected on a line of airport seats hunkered with our trolley and eating the last of aunty Lou
Lou's tasty Dahl wraps staring wide eyed and blearily at Bangkok.
We worked on the principle of creating quiet down time between each  busy dash. When the children become restless again  and refueled they were on fine form. They discovered a busy glass escalator filled with Thai people who love to make funny face at white children. 
The next dash is a metro ride into Bangkok  and buying our tickets to the overnight train to Changmai. Rest in a deserted but cool cafe across the road. Dash to the train station and rest in the air conditioned cool of the 2nd class sleeper train. Tara was completely exhausted and sooo keen to rest.... Until the seats were converted into a bed and then she exploded onto hyper excited 5 yr old :-)
