Before I start my blog, I would like to take a minute to say to everyone who laughed at us because we tied (ahem specifically skins and cowboys fans): EAGLES ARE IN THE PLAYOFFS! Here is some light reading for your enjoyment...
And on to life in Thailand!
After 5 days in busy, polluted Bangkok, we are ready to go to the island and relax! Like I mentioned before, I'm not sure how Internet will work out there so I might be m.i.a. for a while!
Yesterday, we went in to Chinatown and it was pretty crazy! It was so busy - in some parts of the streets and alleyways we could barely move through the crowds. We did a little shopping here, and afterwards we took a boat up to our next destination. We didn't get to see the solid gold Buddha, but we did end up going to a huge temple, Wat Pho, which held the World's largest reclining Buddha in a building made just big enough to fit it. I have some great pictures of the temple complex, which I will post when I can. After this we just walked around the amulet markets, bought souvenirs, ate some delicious street food, and took another tuk-tuk ride through the streets of Bangkok.
Tonight, we are leaving at 8pm for Krabi. After a 12 hour bus ride, we will take a ferry towards Koh Lanta, and halfway to Koh Lanta we will catch a long boat that meets us in the water to get to our bungalow on Koh Jum. Here is the island website if anyone is interested - it gives weather updates and has some basic info: http://www.kohjumonline.com/ Also, this is our bungalow's website! http://www.kohjum-joybungalow.com/
Have a Happy New Year if you don't hear from me! (and of course, go eagles!!!)
