Sorry it has been so long updating people. We’ve been on the road or in the air since Feb 13th. Wow, the more expensive the hotel the more likely they charge for internet usage. Free internet access does NOT mean usage, hmmm. We landed in Bangkok and rode an HOUR through bad pollution to get to our hotel it was fantastic. The hotel, not the ride! The next morning we met at the breakfast buffet and have had marvelous breakfasts everywhere since then. It will be a challenge to go back to self prepared food. Kel & Karen are friends of Judy and Doug’s from BC, now our friends too. Nobody had fought or called each other names yet. We hired a van and driver one day visiting a flower market, China town, lunching, a jewelry factory and having a great time.
rode the river shuttle and tuk tuks the next day.
Kel bought 2 elephants from the ‘floating market’. She was floating but the market is 80 km outside Bangkok so we didn’t get that in this trip.
At the Temple of the Emerald Buddha a young man from Chiang Mai mentioned he had bought wedding rings the day before at The Oscar and our drivers ‘happened’ to know where it was. Colleen has that Anniversary ring now! And according to this gentleman I am an excellent husband……………….! THAT AND OTHER PICTURES WHEN WE GET BACK TO KAOHSIUNG
We spent the 16th leaving Bangkok and arriving in Phuket. Of course our hotel is on the opposite end of the island from the airport! Very Nice, watch for the next post.
