After sleeping until 3pm on Sunday - I think it was Sunday. Being the Intrepid Traveller that I am ha ha thought that I should widen my area. After breakfast about noon at what has become my favourite chilling out place, I thought that I would walk to the Grand Palace. Just to test my map reading skills. Eventually found it and having wandered around for a while, found myself by a pier, thought it would be a nice idea to get a boat back. Looking at the map there was one going where I wanted to get to. I asked the official looking man which of the three boats I should get to where I was pointing to on the large map. He smiled sweetly and pointed to one of the three waiting to leave. I confirmed the facts (all done by pointing at boats and maps) and boarded the very busy boat. I reasurred myself that if all didn't go as planned I could (shock horror) get a tuk tuk back to Khao San via god knows where. The boat left almost immediately swung out into the river, went across to the otherside where it unloaded all its passengers except the stupid English one, picked up another boatload and promptly returned to where I had come from, unloaded all its passengers this time including the stupid English one. It was a nice trip, didn't cost me anything and probably amused anybody watching......oh well back to the drawing board! Decided at that point to walk back, I now understand why Thai tourists walk out infront of traffic in Piccadilly Circus etc, it's inbred, its the only way to get across roads here. When I learn how to get pictures off of my camera onto this site I will put some on.
