So the first entry on our journals (well apart from linz's little bit on my trip to Ipswich, Doh!). We arrived safe and sound after not too bad a flight. Was actually quite impressed with Quantas (dad stop doing Rainman impersonation) Airlines, as service with very good and grub pretty tasty. First couple of days have been a bit of a blur as we are a little jet lagged, although we have managed to fit in a few things already. Had a tour booked for today and they were supposed to pick us up around 9am but instead turned up 7:30am!! As you can imagine I was my usual happy self on the phone when she woke us up. Tour took us around 3 temples (Wat's) and the Grand Palace, which were amazing. These buildings make Britains architecture look pretty dull as they are so colourful and loads of it made out of gold. Thought about jimmying a few bits off to help pay for trip but didn't think it would be worth a night in Thai jail! As for rest of Bangkok, all I can say is it's go go go. Already been a few hairy moments in cabs with traffic, I just don't think there are any road laws out here! Food is awesome, had top notch meal last night and lookiong forward to stuffing our faces for the rest of the time we are here! Thing is with the food outlets you can kinda smell them coming as you get this amazing whiff, but on the flip side you then get the smell of drains which isn't the best, thats the two sides of Bangkok. As for the most important question, the answer is.... No we haven't seen and ladyboys yet! Although there have been a few could of's!
Right better head now as don't want to write too long a entry and put everyone off reading next time around, plus Linz is much better at this stuff than me and has already told me off for putting the wrong things!
