A bus journey of 5 hours which turned into 7 was the most interesting of all so far... a strange thai man, street like sat down next to me, I was on the aisle side. I say sat down next to... I mean half on my seat and not on his. He bumbled something to me about Bangkok whilst laughing. Nothing like making a girl uneasy! I pulled in the ipod and swiftly turned the other way. An hour in he was fast asleep - safe I though. Oh no. How wrong. BEfore I knew it his head was in my freikn crotch! I stuggled to lift his smelly smoky body off mine - I couldn't!! He was not budging! I tried and tried - evertually with virtually a hand on his face pushed him to the window. Two Thai girs in teh seats infront helped me to another seat, and they looked after me for the rest of the journey. What a weirdo.
No room at the inn, and I don't mean one I had selected from the guide book - I mean ALL the inns! Every single dam one in Ayuthaya!! I couldn't believe it! The second time in my life i have ever "winged" something and my lack of organisation comes back and bites me in the b******s! hahahah Although nevertheless I had an inwards smile as I ran around the street like a pack horse donkey - big rucksack on the back, small on the front. I persuaded a helpful receptioonist at a very upmarket hotel to ring around for me .... 20 mins later .... STILL NO ROOM AT THE INNS!! panic was slowly creaping up on me! I asked them if they had a broom closet... they thought i was joking!
Finally hope appeared in her face... one room, at one place... for 1100 B!! I had been paying no more than 300B! haha oh god! I took it, ran down the street and fell through the door! I have a room - fairly nice! Air con which will be the first in weeks. I look down at my foot, I wonder if the right foot could still be classed as a foot.... in Sukothai it got devoured by mosquetos... at least 14 bits on my heal... I look now and it is a swolen red lump acting as a foot - agony. Kept me up all last night. Nothing eases the itching... can pray the air con will help!
What a day! I'm off to hunt down a phone to talk to the loved ones ... final meeting arrangements! I simply can't wait to see their faces in among the bussle of Bangkok. Then a beer in bed I think. My my.
