Wow Day 9 already and im feeling like travelling was the best decision ive ever made!

We planed on one night here in this bustling city of Phitsanulok but seem to still be here 3 days later! We have meet lots of interesting people here, the locals have been especially friendly. Everyone stares at us and shouts ‘Hello’ on the street! There are hardly any Westerners here.

The first night we were invited to spend the eveing with a group of Thai teenagers who tried to teach us some Thai and found us very amusing! We also spent an evening with a Thai musician from a loacal bar who was exactly like a 50 year old Thai John Lennon with long white hair. He even did a clog dance for us and played us songs on his guitar until the early hours and the other locals feed us Wiskey for free whilst we waited for the terrential rain storm to pass!

We then meet a huge group of people from just about every country in the world most of them working here. Fortunatly they all spoke Englishverywell! We all went on a cycling trip around an amazing park with Ancient ruins and temples. Now 3 of us are off to the mountains to hire a bungallow and take it easy for a couple of days. Apparently its cooler up there- cant wait to escape the heat!
Please excuse the grammer and spelling- had about 5 hours sleep!
