Peter & Lucys world adventure
Probably the least interesting blog we are going to compose....
After all the flooding around the bangkok area we had to do a last minute change of plan, and we mean last minute.... 45minutes before were meant to set off to the airport, were online trying to book accomadation near bangkok airport, and also a flight to chiang mai asap! We had originhally planned on goin straight into bangkok for a few nights, but had to unfortunately cancel our accomodation and not go into bangkok at all. We will return to the capital later on our trip, hopefully the water will have gone by then!!!
We spent our 1st night in a hostel last night,, were in a dorm which consists on 3 bunk beds. Only costs us around £2 each per night. Not all the beds are taken, just 2 dutch girls in there with us. Its very basic but quite nice.
We went to a night market last night, in the new town. Thousands of stalls, some good, some very fake!! We ate at a food stall, getting duck soup in a large bowl, costing around 80p! Food seems reasonably cheap, beer seems a little more expensive! Lucy did a good bit of bahtering with a stall keeper... Finally getting some flip-flops for a whopping £2.40approx!! She pushed her luck with another stall tender and failed to get a dressy top which she wanted for around £4!!!
Today weve just booked onto a 3day, 2night trek, starting sunday morning. Consists of jungle trekking, staying with a hill-tribe, elephant riding, white water rafting, bamboo rafting and swimming at waterfalls. So hopefully be lots of fun and interesting.
