ive been here 2 weeks today and it feels like ive been here for ages, moving arround makes is feel like youve been away longer rather than shorter - win win situation i say !!!
today i went to Thai cookery school and learnt to prepare and cook 6 dishes - so be prepared you will all be invited to a Thai evening with lots of yummy yummy food !!!
The day started with a visit to the fresh food market to look at all the different ingedients needed - there were loads that i hadnt heard of so i must find out where i can buy them, Tesco prob sell most of them but theryre the stuff that i dont recognsie so i just keep walking by !!! no longer will that be the case 😊
then we went to the school there were a party of 20 Dutch people who had already stated so i had my own teacher one to one, her name was Boon and we were able to communicate really well, we made Spring rolls, Tom something soup, sweet and sour vegetables, chicken red curry, pad thai and last but by nooooo means
last mango sticky rice (that is unbelievably delicous) of course every time you cook something you are expected to eat it .... 6 courses over a 5 hour period .... stuffed i most deffinatly was !!!
then it was time to be given my reciepe bookand they drove me home, i was flaked out for 2 hours !!!! i was so tired and full up !!!
went for a read of my book beside the pool, water was too cold for me to get in today ..... and there was a lad swimming who was from Coventry, who has been travelling for 2 months after being layed off from the building trade, he was so sweet and we were exchanging travelling tales ........ and i think i made him realise how important it is to keep in contact with his mum !!!
A stroll in town was in order as i needed a little exercise, then when i retured to the guest house ping Pong the taxi lady was cooking on an indroor bbq sort of gadget and invited me to join her and her freinds ..... i really didnt need to eat any more but i
joined in the cooking and ate a few mouthfulls, everyone is so friendly here. After i left the table she came running up to me giving me a corn on the cob, its sitting here next to me, i dont know if i can fit it in !!!
the lastes news on my feet is that all my blisteres have healed up, but my ankles are worthy of CCF !!! (that means swollen for the non medical of you) theyve been like that for over a week now since the first waterfall trek !!! ive also got mozzie bites, dispite the spray - and i developed a huge allergic reaction to a bite my left elbow about 15cmx10cm the Boon reconed it was an ant bite and gave me some extra strength tiger balm that i'm applying every couple of hours .... seems to be working .... hey the perils of jungle treking !!! worth every itch !!!
so clearly i am a visual goddess !!!!
i'm flying to bangkok tomorrow afternoon to meet Ange ..... and so the jouney continues !!!
i might not blog for a day or two, depends on whether weve got
time in Bangkok, werer there for a day and a half, so its going to be full on seeing everything
love you all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
