Bourton-on-the-Water, The Cotswolds, England

In Chiang Mai, Northern Thailand, we met Lydia. She was a good laugh and we enjoyed a few drinks with her, and she showed us the institution of Mike's Burgers at about 3AM one night. What a great late night burger! One of our favourite burgers on the trip (yes, we did miss those things). Well, a few months later, we bumped into her in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. After that we kept in touch and met up with her and her friend Jim (Painer) traveling throughout Vietnam for about 3 weeks together.

Lydia and Painer both live in Cheltenham, a short 30 minute drive from Bromsgrove. So, a trip to visit them in Cheltenham turned into a day trip to Bourton-on-the-Water in the heart of the Cotswolds. The town is very charming and quaint with lots of cute shops and oldey-worldey pubs and so was was very busy with tourists. Later, Jim joined us for dinner and it was great to see him. A nice day all round catching up with them again. * Mush
