bangkok !!!!

This place is soooooo hot !!! Staying in an awsome place in the middle of the backbacker scene that has a pool. We are thrashing it. Kids think it's hilarious that all the travellers leave as soon as we appear. They have seen the competitons that go on - best bombs,handstands ,tag etc. 3 days of Bangkok life. Have explored some fantastic sights using the local boats and tuk tuk's (definately a favourite). Learnt about the Buddhist culture,how to barter for a good rate and not gag when walking through the local markets !!! The smells are really bad (Max's says esp the dried fish ones- I had to run through blocking my nose).
Marty and I are constantly entertained with the comments from the kids. Max is finding it the hardest to cope and last night told us he had had enough of seeing things and is ready to go home!!!! He has no idea whats in store for him.
The night time is the best time here. We go and hang out in the street next to us(Khoasan rd) and eat delicious pancakes,stirfries,corn on the cob and fruit all the time being entertained by the locals. They love seeing a family and we have plenty of comments about the size!!! We have all been crashing early-not even noticing the karoke that goes on down below us on the street and are the first ones eating breakfast which is awesome as end up at all the sights with out the bus loads of punters.
This has been a great place to hang out and adjust to travelling life. We are all commenting about the lack of routine!!!! I am loving that.
