I got the meeting place wrong. I was under the impression that I was meeting the others at the hotel at 4. It wasn't until 5.20 that I got a text telling me where they were because they had gotten fed up with waiting for me at the travel agents. They were at an irish bar so I made an appearance and swiftly left again to return to an internet cafe. I attempted to ring home but no-one answered so i settled for agreeing to my uni residence contract which got me all excited and reading up about my course modules (I disovered that I can take chinese)
I returned to the hotel, picking up my laundry and repacked my bag. I then had to move all our bags into the courtyard so teh woner could lock up the office. I had to wait in the rain until the other 2 came back and then literally run off to get some dinner.
The bus journey to Bangkok had more people on it than to Chiang Mai but my porblem was Craig, who was in front of me, put his seat almost horizontal and since the table was broken, I couldn't move without beating myself up. I got an hours sleep at most.
We found ourself a hotel eventually. Istayed int he taxi whilst teh other 2 asked around and I went straigth up and collapsed on the bed.
We eventually got moving around midday. We saw the royal palace with attached temples and museums, walked around the amulet market (an accidental find) an checked out wat arun and wat pho. Wat pho is the one with reclining buddha. It's huge and quite detailed as in he has nipples and toeprints.
Wat arun is the most famous and incredibly step. It fuelled my hatred of steps from huangshan. never again will I opt to be healthy takign stairs instead of an escalator! Comign down was more of a problem as it was windy and I was wearing a skirt. i think a few people got a bit much of a view!
We walked back and whilst I sat in the lounge charging up numerous electrical items teh other 2 went for a rummage round the street market. They came back pretty late and we went for dinner before takign a second glance over. I managed to lose both of them so got fed up and went back to the room. I was so tired. We had made plans for a night out but I decided not to go because I knew I would just be grumpy and wouldn't enjoy it. Craig left this morning. It was a really awkward goodbye because I think he was irritated that I didn't go out last night. Izzie walked him downstairs but she wears a t-shirt and shorts in bed rather than pyjamas in which i decided I probably shouldn't wander around Thailand. So Craig has gone now.
Izzie and I had a disagrement this morning. We bought photos from the elephant farm. One got soaked and is ruined the other is fine. The one that is fine was in my backpack(I used my raincover) but izzie is claiming that on as hers and the damaged one as mine which I thought was unfair and propposed that we went to a developers and had a copy made of the good one. Her response was that it was unfair that she got the damaged one since she wasn't the one who got it wet as it was in Craig's bag. I pointed out to her that wasn't what I had suggested and she bit my head off sayign what was the point in bringing it up. Apparently I'm not allowed to voice my opinion or get things off my chest, or even suggest a solution. we have decided to spend the day separately. You may have discerned that I'm not at my happiest today.
