Hi Guys, Well here i am sat in the guest house sweating my arse off! Its sooooo hot here i can hardly cope! I left Oz yesterday after a fantastic week on a ranch in the middle of no where. I learnt to sheep sheer, whip crack, lasooe, hrerd cattle and i helped build a yard for cattle! Thats right i have real working hands now sp;innters and everything...and for the first time in the last 7 and a half moths i had to cut all my nails off!!!! Tragic!!!! Barry the bloke in charge let me stay for a week instead of five days as he needed to people to ryde in the sales....which was fantastic fun! One small injury i got was when i was ryding through some woodland and my horse got frigthtned by a tree and reared up as i turned her round the tree that she had pushed backs branch flicked back round and slapped me in te face so i have a lovely scar there now! nice!!! One thing that was fun was i got to lassoue cattle whilst rying...for those of you who have ridden before will find it easy to imagne this not easy but when i tell you, you do in Canter with your reins wrapped around the saddle while...that meens NO HANDS!!!!! Well it was all good fun! The week before i spent in the blue mountains V nice but cold i got poorly!!!! I went absailing down a 40 story high building on a water fall and i also went Caving OMG scary small holes that you push self through...looked more fun i the brochure...actually very scary being trapped in a hole in the dark with a head tourch on and a bringht orange jump suite! Very attractive im sure you can imagine! Any way now in Bangkok what an experiance so far. Got a london taxi to Hostel down all these back alleys was prtty worried but myself and clare were just laughin the whole way and all today...we managed to walk to the suprmarket in the heat and got a Tuk tuk back (thats what the picture at the top is, so you can see what transport is like here!!!) I had a intersting meal noodle soup with fish balls (take that as you wish!) It tasted like nothing...i wont be having that again!!! All in all Bankok hot and dirty but quite nice all n all. People very friendly id forgot what it was like to be stared at so much! Clare and i leave for Cambodia nxt sat and then were going to go on to Kula Lumpa amd malaysia for a while everything soooooo cheap here. Example Two large bottles of water and two fanta drinks plus my noodle soup came to around 95p WHAT!!!! The rest of today we spent jet lagged in out nice air conditioned room i say nice...think nice prison cell, but we dnt care the beds are like rock and the pillow were pretty sure is card board but hey we have air con all is good! Going on a sight seeing tour tomorrw all around the palaces and then its Clares bday so were going to the biggest open air bar in the world...on the 64th floor of a building! wow v excited!
