| "Hey from Bangkok" |
| Hey people, Just thought I had better write y'all a little note to let you know that we arrived safely in Bangkok. Today is our last day here and we fly out to Sydney later on this evening. Well, it has been weird being in Bangkok again, especially without Melanie :o( but it has been good for my sister to see the complete madness of the place! We've had 3 days here to recover from our jet lag, and we're starting to beat the tiredness. Our first full day, was a bit crazy - we did 3 temples (Grand Palace, Wat Pho & Wat Arun) and a boat trip up the canals all in one day - after that we needed a nap before going out for dinner! Yesterday (Saturday), we took it a bit easier and went to Chatuchak market for a spot of retail therapy, then another nap (!) before Sharon kickin me out of bed to go to the Thai boxing - ticket price was slightly out of budget, as it was a Saturday night, but it was our last night, and worth a look - good fun actually, and more about technique than punching the brains out of each other like western boxing! Today has mostly been chilling out and a bit more shopping. We leave in an hour for the airport, bound for Sydney. Looking forward to getting back to Oz, but a little sad to be leaving Thailand again - a fleeting visit, though was just starting to get used to the dirt, dust, humidity and smells of Bangkok again!? Maybe a day here on the way back from Sydney next year?! Well, better go, minibus to catch to the airport. Take care, T.xox |
