Ni yma!

Sawasdee Kup.
Di ni wedi cyrraedd yn saff ac yn iach. Mae'r tywydd yn boeth reit ac mae'n ymdrech jyst cerdded lawr y stryd. Wedi gweld llawer o Buddhas - wedi'u gwneud o aur pur, 'concrete' ac 'jade' a llawer iawn o demlau i gyd wedi eu arddurno'n hardd gyda chrefftwaith arbennig. Cawsom drip ar gwch 'James Bond' ar yr afon a oedd yn wych ac wedi cael blasu'r cuisine lleol sy'n fendigedig. Mynd nawr i chilio am tuk tuk sy'n fodlon mynd a ni lle i ni am fynd ac nid i siopau maent am i ni fynd iddynt!

Sawadee Ka from Bangkok - the Venice of the East. This city is incredible - it's suffocating but breathtaking, filthy but beautiful. It is also very hot and sticky - just like the food. Arrived late on Friday night and went straight to the hostel - too tired to even go and look for food - just crashed until the morning. Saturday, took a tour around the city with Sam our guide and our driver in an old Volvo. We have seen sitting Buddhas, reclining Buddhas, standing Buddhas and plastic Buddhas. We were all templed-out by last night. Took a fantastic trip on the river - hired a thai long-boat for just the two of us and Sam then he took us to eat in a backstreet gaffe where we were the only 'round-eyes' - it was superb. Took a walk through the night market last night and nearly lost Marc to a hand, attached to a large chest that emerged from the shadows. Nia missed it all as she was trying to avoid stepping into a huge family of cockroaches out for their evening walk also. After looking for ages, found great place to eat, just around the corner from the hostel - very tasty and a bargain even for a Cardi - going back again tonight. Staying in Bangkok until Tuesday then heading off in search of paradise on Koh Samet. Bye.
