arrival accomplished.
So here we are in Bangkok - after what felt like a "three hour tour". The flights took about 16 hours which added to several hours of layovers and other sorts of ground travel makes for a very long day. We are however safe and sound - minus of course a little jet lag. What time is it anyway? For that matter, what day is it?
Our first hotel was a lovely lesson in "don't judge a hotel by its website or lobby" - both of which were gorgeous. Unfortunately, that style and beauty has not made it to the rooms yet. So after some initial moments of frustration, we gathered our things and decided to head for greener pastures. Thank god for a lovely Thai taxi man known as Wichen, or Mr. Diamond, who ferried us first to the TAT office to make a reservation and then to the new hotel.
After a good twelve or so hours of sleep, we are ready to conquer the sights and maybe even the cuisine...

Hoera! That's Dutch for hurrah, you are safe and sound and tired!
i bet sights are amazing and don't you love the way that part of the world smells so different?
Love, M
Love the blog! Glad to hear you made it safe. Laverne and Shirley are enjoying their new home and have already co-opted their favorite sun spots.
Thanks for the pictures and book card! I'm happy that you made it, and anxious to see some pictures. Don't forget not to chew gum - I'm not sure how they feel about gummy foods in general. XX00, K
