Touchdown

o here I am in Bangkok at the start of my journey. The flights went smoothly, if not a little mind numbing spending 3 and a half hours in melbourne airport. Of course Jetstar give you screens but charge if you want to watch anything on them. I stuck to my book and the food I had brought from home. Touchdown was at 8pm and after a train and a metro ride I was at my hostel. This morning I made my first forey into Bangkok, catching a boat up the river and going on a walk arround the city before being educated on the history of thailand in the dimly lit National Museum. By now it was getting hot, so the best place to beat the heat was annother ferry ride down the river. Later this evening I plan to buy a train ticket south to the islands, I could realy do with a swim.
