Day 1 = accidently transferring every cent we own onto a card that takes 2 business days to work - and its SATURDAY!
Day 1 = the crazy GOO that joined us on our journeys - WHERE DID YOU COME FROM GOO??????
Day 1 = our friend Anna who is not only our friend but our brain too.
Day 1 = elephant in street
Day 1 = a SQUIRREL!!!
So to begin our journeys in true Nikki and Corey style we made one big mistake to get us started. I = trying to be the most helpful helper that anyone can ever imagine and being the most helpful helper i thought yes - I will transfer all of our cents onto a travel card (credit card but not). Once every cent was on that card i thought yes! that is 1 x good and helpful thing you just did. And to be even more helpful still i decided to read the card instructions. first sentence = MONEY WILL TAKE 2 BUSINESS DAYS TO APPEAR ON THE CARD. Oh dear ~ it is indeed Saturday...
Goo (not spelt like that i am quite certain but sounds quite like that)... Somewhere
between Darwin and Singapore we stumbled across Goo. He decided to be our travel friend - and he was our travel friend. and a good Goo and a funny Goo. He journey'd with us for many miles adn many hours and oh the adventures we had with 1 x Goo. Goo likes to say that he looks like shrek but i say he looks like Goo and that is all about goo.
We arrive at the hotel and another friend to meet. Oh it is Anna! our friend Anna! She was waiting for us at the hotel all morning until we arrived and was ready to take us on an adventure to all the places in the city. But no Anna - although you are the friendliest one we have ever met we just like to sleep sometimes and so it was time for sleep and then Anna will take us on an adventure...
...But who can sleep when there is tasty cocktails by the pool...? NOT US! time for 1 x Daiquari before any sleep will be mentioned.
3pm it is now ready to meet Anna. Like every other person in Thailand Anna always smiles
and never frowns. She would like to take us to many places in the town and many places we did go in the town. our final stop was CentralWorld. Bye Anna - she was very sad to leave us because she might not get to see us again and she has never met anyone that she liked more int the world than 2 australians called Nikki adn Corey.... PLUS she thinks Corey is Very very handsome...
so Bye Anna and Time to go SHOPPING - only minus the money part. CentralWorld is bigger and better than anything you can ever imagine in Australia. So many shops my brain hurt.. and certainly too much for 1 day of shopping..
time for food.
and a mission was given to us before we left to eat at the restaurant CABBAGES AND CONDOMS. and this mission was accepted. With our handy map that Anna drew for us we were set to explore. she even wrote the map in thai so we could ask strangers for directions. So I think i will be in charge of the map.. i am quite the explorer after all....
and 10 minutes later we
were on a skytrain heading the completely opposite direction of where the map told me to go. 2 helpful locals later and we were back in the right direction. and now i am banned from the map.
cabbages and condoms is a magical rainforest filled with fairy light and lamps made from condoms. and to finish your meal 1 x condom please. thankyou goodbye now..
time to go home adn we are the most tired... 28 hours and zero sleep.. we trekked and trekked but were too tired to read the map... far too tired... just keep walking through the streets which are now transformed into markets... oh dear! no i do not want to buy that t shirt.. no no no...
And what is THIS!!!!~ ... it is not a car~ it is not a bus~ it is not a bicycle ' NO it is an ELEPHANT~ an elephant in the city streets - feed him for $2.
and it must be time to go home now where is a taxi? NO they will not take us home it is FAR too FAR! far too far>? what does this even mean - WHERE is our
hotel... next taxi please - adn yes it is far too far.. next taxi please.. yes i will take you! ... for 200 baht - WHAT this is an outrage 200baht!! but what we really said was - yes please. and dricing for 40minutes and we suddenly realise that 200baht otherwise know as $8 is quite the bargain indeed.
home safe to the Hotel and that is all... but not really all.. just all that i can feel to type right now.
