Day 7
And on the 7th day he rested. Thats what I'm doing today. trying to catch up on emails, sleep etc. But to continue the blog:
Day 5.
We arranged to do a tour of some of the attractions around Kanchanaburi. First we went to an elephant camp and got to ride them. Pretty cool and not too dangerous. waded through a river with them and a little into the jungle! Then we were wisked to float down the river on a baboo raft. again nothing too stressful. Then we were picked up again by our mini bus and headed of to Erawan National park where there's a 7 tier waterfall you can swim in. It was brilliant. The walk to the 7th tier was about 2 km but in the boiling heat took ages, but it made jumping into the waterfall so relaxing to swim! the water was freezing but so nice. It's a shame the moment you get out again you start to sweat buckets again! THEN we got on a train ride which was alright. THEN we went to Kwai bridge again and finally went home.
Day 6.
Today the initial seven of us that were together at Bangkok airport became 2. Kelly and Anna headed south to the beaches, Me and Jon decided to spend a last couple of days here because there was more stuff to do. Us two and Johanna (A maltese girl we met yesterday) got a motorbike with side car taxi to go and see the amazing floating Nun of Kanchanaburi. It was Hillarious. this old bald nun comes out and swims in a small swimming pool for 5 minutes pulling different positions. Because we were there at an odd time the three of us were the only people there. That made sitting in silence so much more difficult. Johanna sniggered all the way, I sat, beaming at the nun with tears in my eyes but determined not to laugh, when we got back on our mototaxi We laughed and laughed and laughed. I Can't really do it justice here but seriously appealed to my love of the bizzare.
Then crawlled through some cavse to see some buddha statues. There were bats and things in the caves but it was cool.
In the afternoon went to the tiger temple where some monks look after some tigers. Not really alot to see but everyone gets a pic with the tigers. there's a rumor that they sedate them.....to stop....accidents...... which would be bad but we followed the crowd along and there you go.
Day 7. And today. I've done not alot. Went to the post office, it was shut. went to internet cafe this morning. got nothing I wanted to done. went to a museum this afternoon. it had the most random collection of rubbish I've ever seen. Just odd clocks panitings and a room dedicated to Miss Thailand Competition with all old clothes worn by them. again. just bizzare. Thats about all. Moving on again tomorrow so its good to feel rested and all that.
