On January 21st Nick headed off for a study tour as part of a religious studies subject at UQ. Thailand was first port of call and included some sites Paulie and Stephen visited 3 months prior. Beck then joined him and they trekked around Loas - including zipping around on zippy scooters - to return a week before Nick's birthday on Feb 24th. Not a bad way to earn 10 credits towards a degree!
