Breakfast

---

Actually the internet here is very cheap and we've a few hours to kill before our bus to Kanchanaburi...we had a little wander 'round Banglamphu. It's an amazingly active commercial district that's completely mind-boggling.

The Thais all buy their breakfasts and snacks (in Thai gin len or "eating for fun" !) at little roadside stalls. We eschewed the ubiquitous and rather boring hotel breakfasts for some more traditional fare. I had a sandwich made from slices of buttered brioche, dipped on one side in sugar and grilled over coals, then slathered in condensed milk (swoon) and sandwiched together. It was amazingly delicious and cost 15B (or about 20 pence !)...Alex had little deep fried parcels filled with coconut goo...also delicious. Washed down with nam som mandarin juice. If only all this was available in London...sigh...

Have caught up with you
Dear Walex, You are safely on the otherside of the world so I can call you this without either of you being able to do much about it. Having now been provided with a link to your blog (no of course I do not mind having been left off, oldest friend from UG days, best man at your wedding etc) I am now fully informed of your movements. Impressed as ever by your efficiency I will check it religiously. Hope it continues to go as well as it has (ahh condensed milk, my early youth in communist Poland). Lots of love, Marie
