Brilliant Bangkok!!!

We're finally in Thailand - YAAAAAYYYYY!!!!!

After the incredible and unforgettable experience of India it feels brilliant to be in Bankok! We arrived off the plane at about 6am this morning and after only having about 2 hours sleep it was a struggle to strap on our backpacks and get ourselves organised!! But we hopped in a taxi which took us the backpacker mecca that is Banglamphu. We managed to seek out a guesthouse and once we'd had some breakfast we crashed out in the room and slept until 2pm!

We've now been exploring our surroundings and simply love everything we find here! The people here are friendly, happy and it's a breath of fresh air not be hassled by persistent touts for once!! We sampled some of the food at one of the many street vendors which was divine and ridiculously cheap! I'm now in seventh heaven again with regards to shopping as there are street stalls galore with everything you could possibly want but once again room in my backpack and money prevent me from splurging (at least until I can get rid of some of Geth's things on the sly so I can use his backpack!!) The humidity here will take some getting used to as even at night it's still swelteringly hot!

Geth has finally managed to get his hair cut in a way he likes and I may even bite the bullet and try getting mine done here too! We've also had a scout around at the many many MANY guesthouses and hotels in the area and have now managed to find an even nicer guesthouse for less money so things really couldn't be better for us at the moment!

Tomorrow we will be exploring further afield and hopping onto the skytrain to go into the centre of Bangkok and breath in the pollution!!

Hope all is well with everyone at home and we look forward to hearing how you're all getting on with you working lives!!

Lots of Love
