Bangkok

We had another insane day travelling yesterday ending in Bangkok at 5am this morning! Not great especially when i got to the hotel and it was full and couldnt promise me anything. I managed to get hold of Gaz who searched everywhere on the interenet for me this morning and we came up with nothing. Anyway not to worry...i cried and then went to the Weekend Market with the girls to try and distact myself. When me and Leilani got back to the base hotel we wondering into the shopping district and i remembered Tanya taking me somewhere on our first night that had accommodation. So im staying above a part right in the centre of everything. Its not bad...i went for their best which has its own bathroom and air con and it still only cost my less that 8 pounds. But its clean and its only for one night.

So this Weekend Market we went to it was totally insane.. you could buy anything it was like the Markets in Peru again but cleaner. Got some gorgeous stuff and such bargins...i know if i wasnt on holiday i wouldnt have bought the stuff but i am and i did! Even treated myself to a couple of things.

Hopefully...all going well, ive signed myself you to do a thai cooking course tomorrow. I booked it over the internet today and it never asked for payment or anything but its with the same guys who sorted out my first nights accommodation and my transfers to the airport so we'll see at 8am tomorrow whether or not i go on this course. Its more expense than most trips i could do but i thought i might as well learn something and well learning to do thai massages i decided wouldnt benefit me so declined! Its an english speaking course which should teach me 4 different dishes and how to adapt them to what we have available in the UK. Which sounds all good to me and i get a book and everything to keep! And if your really lucky and i get my welcome home drinks i might make something for you all to try if you dare!

And the best bit is tomorrow is my last full day in Thailand which means im heading down under! So cant wait, this is after all what my trip was always really about going to see people i love on the other side of the world.

Love you xxx

ps.
Dave, completed half your mission you set for me... the rolex... its a dream you can forget. I love you but not that much. The cheapest anyone would go was 1500 bats which is just over 20 quid and i dont love you that much. But i have managed to get you your liverpool shirt (sorry Dad) ... its not a bad fake actually and for 3 pounds im very very proud of it!

Al, after speaking to you in your drunken state this morning i also got you something as a promise to you...you'll be able to put it on the keys to our house next year... September. But you'll have to promise to always keep it save. Its not just a present its symbolic!

Jess, as im chatting to you and you have a hot date... good luck and behave yourself young lady otherwise you might end up in Bonnys family!
