Siem Reap to Thailand. part 2
To be fair they were very good at the bus agency and upgraded us to a luxury bus that left just 30 minutes later.
All we wanted was a shower. (and a beer)
So as we pull in to Pattaya on the outskirts, the bus stops and the lights go off.
"Finish" they shouted as they threw the bags on the pavement.
We did not have a clue where we were and no taxis in sight, only a lonely moped taxi.
Imagine, there is Jonnie, who is not exactly twiggy, his big travel bag, me and my big rucksack and a honda C90 with a 7 stone driver.
"you get one more?" i told him, thinking another bike was on it's way.
"no problem no problem" he said as he starts revving his c90 up, nodding and smiling.
what he meant was no problem......... i take you both.!!
Well we were so desperate to get to the hotel on we all jumped. i had about an inch of my bum cheeks on the grab rail and my legs hanging out.
off like a rocket he went and to make it worse the roads were wet, no crash helmets, a pair of shorts and flip flops. well i was hanging on to jonnie for dear life as all i heard were horns beep and felt the rush of wind from missing oncoming cars by an inch.
that was scarier than any trip at alton towers believe me.
what a relief as we pulled up at the hotel. shower shower shower we thought.
As we walked in to the hotel we noticed it was very dark. Yes there had been a power surge in the rain and the hotel electrics had blown.
Whatever next ?
So we could not go to our room until they had fixed it which could take a couple of hours. so we went in to the nearest bar smelling like a pair of skunks looking like a pair of tramps. what a day.
Luckily the electric was back on for midnight. The best shower in the world ever.
Next installment................Andy & Jonnie and the man with the big gun................
