Moving house......

Tanya did wake up early this morning but as it was still dark decided she didn't want to walk to the park alone....which is a good thing I think and I am not fussed on going as bed is a much nicer place to be....lol. When we got up we needed to go and find Thai Airways as last night when I booked our tickets online I got right to the end and it came up with an error saying it could not continue and I would have to try again.....I thought I would check the credit card to see if the money had come out and sure enough it had...hence why we need to go to the office to see them. I went on google maps and the booking office looked to be very close to us...bonus...so off we go walking and walking and walking. After asking several people we finally found it at the opposite end of the street that google maps had said. The lady in there was really helpful and found the booking and told us that it has been happening alot lately. She assured me that the money would be refunded (which it has already) and rebooked new tickets for us. So back we walk to our hotel to pack up and move to the new place about a 20 minute walk away. On the way we stopped at the little restaurant we found a few days ago that does Isaan food as Tanya wanted to have some "Thai spicy hot" food as opposed to "Western spicy hot". She ordered a pork dish and went in the kitchen to watch Moon cook it. I also watched her cook my fried rice and vegetables. She gave us some good cooking tips and the food was great. Tanya was not disappointed although Moon still did not make it as hot as she would for a Thai person and it was pretty damn hot. After a great chat with Moon and an exchange of emails as she said she would email Tanya and help her learn some Thai, we headed off again. We arrived at our new place and checked in (and were told the room was free for tonight as we were doing the trek......cool). We stayed in the room for a rest and then went to our favourite Tea Tree where we tried some cold drinks today of ginger, honey & lime iced tea and a peppermint soda. They were really great and we spent over an hour hanging out there. It was then time to go back to the hotel where we had a meeting for the trek. 7 others are joining us and Jackie Chan (lol...I love it), our guide gave us the run down of what we will be doing. We were given back packs and rubber walking shoes also. I love the fact that we will be given a knife and a sling shot when we get to the jungle which we are assured of using...stay tuned....lol. We walked not far tonight and found a nice little place that did Northern food which was really nice. Tanya wanted coconut water so we went to the market across the road and got some and also some delicious mango sticky rice. Yes we know...we eat alot....lol...some people come to Thailand for the shopping, some for the scenery, some for the partying....we come for the food :) So obviously we will have no service tomorrow night (we won't even have electricity) so you will hear from us in a couple of days...wish us luck.....lol Alvo xo
