well i have just had the greatest day, i had just my breckie and saw Wendy the canadian girl i met yersturday and we got chatting, i asked her what she was doing today and she said Erawan waterfalls and seeing that i was thinking of going today or tomorrow i asked if they would mind if i tagged along, (i did give her the option of saying no with no offence, honestly) anyway to my delight she said they would be glad for me to go with them, so off we set .........
we got on a very crouded local bus with fans and open windows so really cool once we set off. before we did though started talking to a british older (hahaha) couple who were going mad about the time they had been waiting for the bus to leave ... anyway they threw their toys out of their pram and got off saying they were going to rent a motorbike. Then 3 american lads got on and we set off 5 min later !!!!! bloody english so uptight !!!
so one and half hours later we arrived .... the bigest waterfall in Thailand (would i bother
with anything less !) it was 7 tiers high and it took about one half hours to climb tothe top which i managed ... and bless Wendy and Tim they did it at my pace 😊 oh my god it was AMAZing as youll see in my pics, we went swimming at tier 3 which was a tad on the chilly side at first but as everyone always say its gorgious when your in .... it was just the best experience, swimming up a waterfall clambering up rocks to stand underneath ... WOW what a blast !!!
we went for another quick swim in the 7th tier as a reward
then it was a mad dash down to catch the last bus, Tim scouted on ahead with Juno our Japanese friend we met on the bus, who climbed up with us, and thank god they did as Wendy and me had to jog to catch it ....... that driver was leaving at 4pm come high or hell water .... literally 1 second to spare..... i tell you if i dont come back a size 0 ive been robbed !!!!
so then we got off the bus at
the Death railway that goes over the bridge on the river Kwai ......... very sereal walking over it .... amazing and quite ironic with Juno next to me ....... we did our bit for world peace i think ..... he was quite a charactor with minimal english he was telling me he lives in Pakistan and likes the pakistan women but when they see his slitty eyes they run away screaming !!!
then it was back to the hotel for a quick shower and ive moved tonight to a more civalised one ... it still has a cold shower but now i have a flushing toilet !!!! whoo hoo or should that be whoo poo !!! ive said good bye to wendy and tim as theyre off tomorrow, Tim even carried my bag to the new guesthouse ... what a sweetie
ive just phoned vicki who was out and Joanne who also was out ..,, goddam kids !! so i had to do with Nick !!! (we'll see if he really reads this blog or not now !!!!) but ive just realised that Joanne and Nick arent small theyre just Thai sized !!!!
anyway must dash ive
got to have drinkie with the lady who runs this internert cafe ... she helps me put on the photos and is such a laugh.
