We're here! After a very long 10.5hrs from Amsterdam to Bangkok, we arrived this morning, or was it this afternoon? Very confusing. I think it's 6pm Thai time and 12 noon UK time as I write. We were all very spaced out by the journey. Maybe that's why all 4 of us got into the hotel lift, 3 of us got out and the lift shut and took Irvine away, shouting, "Where am I going?"
We all went off to our rooms in the Amari Rincome (lovely hotel, as you promised Murray and Stewart) for a wee sleep. Irvine tell us he only slept for 30 mins when a woman knocked on teh door of his hotel room to give him the Washington Post. He leapt into his football shorts and hoodie with the hood up because he didn't want to alarm her! Can you imagine the sight, poor woman. Apparently both she and Irvine were bowing to each other saying, 'Sorry! Sorry! Sorry!' I can hear you chuckling Gail.
3 hours later, after the rest of us slept too long but Irvine had read the Washington Post, we head off to the shopping mall. Irvine needs a bag because his water cooler bag won't suffice. He now has a man bag that says 'Camp Inn'! He's very excited because it has lots and lots of pockets but states he will never take it to Easter Road (the football).
We're catching up with you and then off to catch a tuk tuk back to the hotel. Here are Irvine and Fiona on the tuk tuk.

We rang Bobo and we're delighted to know the Pirniehall teachers have arrived safely and have delivered the etchings to Bobo. He is now framing them for OUR BURMA BBOK EXHIBITION, which starts in Mae Sot next week.
It is so so lovely to be back in Thailand.

Great to hear you have all got there safely. Sorry I did not get to the e-mail early enough to wish you a safe trip. Pics would be great. Rowena
Hope you like the photos Rowena. Lovely bananas. Hope the puppy is behaving but I think probably not.
