Monday 7 Sept Roy and I were laying in each other's arms this morning. I said I wandered how many couples  could live so closely together for three months at a time and not fight.He starts laughing, and says. " any idea how lonely it is with 2 million people around you and no  one speaks English? Of course I'm not going to make you mad , I need someone to talk to!"  Headed out about 8am. Not going very far so no real hurry. About 60 miles Whe...

We had asked around trying to see how to get to Kanchanburi .they said we would have to take the bus all the way to Bangkok then catch a train or bus backto Kanchanburi.that seemed ridiculous to us. There were two shorter routes .So up at 5:30 our wonderful hostess was determined to feed us breakfast We had skipped breakfast yesterday ( I could not face rice and milk with shrimp) so today she had wieners fried eggs toast and fruit. Wonderful, that I can deal ...
