I‘m finding it difficult two write a big grown-up Sri Lanka travel blog. I’m struggling with remaining positive and upbeat every day while travelling the world with my family. So, instead, today, you are going to get my Bog Travel Diary. Part 2. if you’re looking for a useful travel blog, you may be disappointed. The Bog Diary is a look into what bad days look like as well as good ones.
The Bog Diary. Sri Lanka Travel Blog. Same same but different.
I’ve got to write this down or otherwise, I might explode or, even worse, go down into a pit of negativity and find myself unable to return. If I write it all down without stopping, it’s my way of getting it off my chest. It does work.
They say that you have to have a bad day to appreciate the good days, don’t they? Every cloud and all that. Well, I’ll be waiting with open arms today ’cause yesterday left me feeling like shit. It was one of those days that, come 9 pm, I was struggling to keep from breaking down and blubbing in front of the kids.
We spent the whole day at the guest house because we were trying to plan for our upcoming trip to India…
Oh my poor darling princess, I know exactly how you feel , it’s horrible horrible horrible having days like that when you’re not sat in your own house with your own things …but…. I’m so sorry my precious daughter but… I laughed my bloody head off from beginning to end!!! That was the the best and funniest thing I have read for a long long time!! I can smell that bloody black dress from here!! I miss you so much and I can’t wait until you come home..but… I also cannot wait for the next blog !!! Love you and you will feel different once you start moving again…. but…can I book a table down at Oakura??!!!! Pleeeeeeze??xxxxx
Oh mummy… I miss you. And thank you for making me feel better. I am a woman not a child. I don’t have to do what the policeman says do I? I own a fridge and everything.
Oh you are so going to love India! And I’m going to laugh so hard. Great post again. Or go to Vietnam instead, you can drink Chilean rouge with me 🙂 I’m dreading India again if it helps, but India is AWSOME after you’ve left.
Laugh so hard?? Why? Tell me!!
I was slightly worried when I read that your boy said “never again..”
? thank you for your comment Alysun xx
Love this. I want to go to India too but I am a travel softie – hey I had meltdown when Qantas grounded the planes in 2011 and I couldn’t leave LA for New Zealand for 3 days. There was of course a silver lining that made me get brave and use public transport in LA and discovered it wasn’t the scary city I thought it was. However I had wine…..
As long as there is wine Coral… Us women can cope with anything! x
Baaaaaaabe. I feel you. I don’t want to go to India. I want to go to England, where everything WORKS! laying in our guesthouse with a *splitting* headache and wondering how I’m gonna keep my job when there’s no WiFi. Mate this travel malarkey can be a biatch.
HAHAH. Laughed and Laughed but not really,, (sure did!)
You have hit it on the head and I love how you are keepin it real. 🙂
Thank you Leezett! x
Oh what a good laugh Liz! You write brilliantly – good and bad days! The good ones are just around the corner:) I always wanted to go to India. You are the brave ones who are actually doing it! Go you !!
Remember those good days bad days from homeschooling?? I’ll let you know how it is in India! Thank you for your lovely comment Sue xx
