The koh san road baby!
12.11.2006
For those of you that didn't get my mail, here is how singapore was:
After 12 long hours i have finally arrived. After much rushing to the bus tour desk i missed the last bus to allow me to get back to the airport in time to check in...by 5 minutes. My flight from LHR was delayed by an hour...how annoying. They did offer a shuttle bus option but that involved me getting in a taxi once i reach part of the city to catch a connecting bus, me thinks that may be pushing it for day 1!
Nevermind, there is so much to do here to kill the 5 hour transit, i may go swimming or watch a movie, get a massage, who knows! (I WENT SWIMMING AND I HAD IT ALL TO MYSELF!!!)
Singapore air is amazing by the way, i have watched two and a half movies, episodes of Fraiser, Medium and Friends, not to mention played super mario bros! The best thing of all...i was sitting next to Alex Parks and her friends...now who remembers her? No actually the food was the best thing of all, lunch and breakfast...heaven, oh and hot towels!
Now Bangkok.....
Day three and have now moved to a hostel room on the Ko san road which the four of us are sharing. Bit of a come down after the hotel we have been staying in in the last two nights...complimentary water, shampoo and shower cap!!! Stole the toilet paper so we don't go short!
In an internet cafe in the hostel. All is going well, the girls are lovely and i am getting used to living out of a backpack. Have seen a ping pong show, have been to the grand palace and generally checked out BKK! We are moving onto katchamaburi tommorrow (bridge over the river Kwai) and will hopefully be staying in a guest house by the river. WE are then going on a 10 hr bus ride to get to chaing mai, where we will be trekking!
All still very surreal, feel like i am in an extra from the beach! Walking down the Ko san you can buy anything, even deep fried insects! The food is amazing though and so cheap.
All felling the need to get out of the city, can't wait for the island hopping.
Don't worry about me, i',m fine, will take a while to get used to this way of life but you know me...i'll embrace it!!!
