Tasha on her travels
a mda few days again!! the whole songkram fewstival has started to wear a bit thin! when you only have one bag of clothes and everything is wet and covered in clay it ceases to be that funny anymore! went back down koh san road and were completely obliterated! but this time it wasnt a friendly splash of water or a cheeky bit of clay gently put on the face (apparently thai people consioder it extremely rude to touch peoples faces,,,hmmm not these thai's!) it now has progressed to a full on drunken smack in the face with clay in our eyes and its blatently just an excuse for the guys to touch us! not too much fun! at ine point the road was soo busy that people were passing out etc, got pretty frightning though everyone was going to stampeed or something! managed to take refuge in a mcdonalds! were we met a 6 foot 5 irish guy who was scared of the whole thing, so imagine what it was like for us!! tried to persuade them to let us out back way but they wouldnt so had no choice but to go back into it! managed to get back to hostel and once again had to shower fully clothed in an attemept to clean ourselves. our ant ridden hostel wasnt the nicest place to freshen up! decided to have an early night but then got a phone call from aimos friends that they were still out and about so we all got up and braved it again! ;luckily itd quietened down! met up with them in an irish bar and ended up going back to their nice hotel for a swim! stayed there as there hotel was far superior to ours and when got a tuk tuk back the next day we once again got completely obliterated ...see pictures!!! so it was decided we had to move out of the city to outskirts. we looked everywhere for this guesthouse but couldnt find it at all, tiered and wet we decided that we would have to hotel it. so stayed last night in a very plush hotel (well plush by our standards, it had air con, a fridge and .....HOT water!!! oh my god! and a tele!) so lived it up for the night and went for a nice indian were as we were leaving an elephant walked by, casual like! middle of city! so no anyway were in big johns guesthouse which we have the 'penthouse' (or should i say a room on the roof which is obviously not meant to be a room at all!) but its not too bad so were happy! and we had some serious retail therap today! bought a million things and spent.... about 40 quid! mum and dad you will be loving the presents i have bought u (or u have bought yourself!) and gabs i got you a pair of ray bans...you owe me.......3 quid! unfortuneately im skint otherwise id buy loads and sell on ebay! plan now is to shop tommorow (diesel jeans only 10 quid!) and get suit fitted etc and hopefully this bloody festival will be over, tommorrow is clean up day and then on 17th everything re opens. so thats about it. sounds like a it of a nightmare but its all character building! ha ! getting really excited for sydeny!!! lots of love xxxx
