Back in Bangkok - Darcy

We have some spectacular pictures of our time on Koh Tao, but they will come later but just you wait! We all had a wonderful time on the island. We spent our last day on a snorkeling tour and got to see the Nemo fish swimming in their anenomies. (spelling?) And lot's of other fish too! But alas, our mockery of the rookie traveller's sunburns come back to haunt us and we all got too much sun, which added to the fun of travelling back to Bangkok on a bus with air conditioning only on one side and movies with no sound 95% of the time and sudden blasts of incomprehensible noise the other 5%. That's the fun of traveling right? (It's easy for me to say I was on the air conditioned side:)

So we are back in the hustle and bustle of Bangkok now. We completed our applications for our Mongolian visa's and they'll be ready for us on Friday. So now we have a couple of days to see the sights here in the big city. It is quite something. A funny mix of very modern and still early development. For example to get to the emabssy, we took a boat taxi down the river, much the same way I'm sure it's been done for ages, and then hopped on the skytrain which is more modern than anything I've seen in Canada.

The sunburns are already going away and we are still healthy and happy, for which I am grateful.
