Travel - Thai style....

Had a 3 hour truck journey to catch a ferry today and this was one of those times when I wished I was more of a chunky lass and I had a bit more padding around the bum area! The condition of the roads meant that the journey rivalled the wooden rollercoaster at Busch Gardens in Florida for thrills - I'm not ashamed to say that I came off that in a very shaky state as I thought that was the day I was going to meet my maker - so I ended up securing myself to the truck with one of my rucksack straps. Being open sided - the dreaded "Elf and Safety' tzars would have had a field day in the UK - I also took the advice of one of the tour tips and got myself a face mask for the inevitable dust. I think I must have resembled the rookie, slightly car sick doctor arriving at camp in an episode of MASH!

    Hey Aud sounds like you are having a ball - not sure about the truck ride please be carefull! Em and Ol had your postcards today they loved them and are taking them to school to tell their teachers what a mad "aunty" they've got! Also got my birthday card bang on time you are so organised! Loving hearing about all your travels...The full moon party sounds good hope you stuck to alcohol though and did'nt experiment! Ha Ha!
