After the sparcity of the monestary, we went to a spa hotel for an overnight stay. Arrived at noon and had lunch then took a 2 hour boat ride (should have only been one hour) up the river. We saw lots of local Thai homes, lovely foliage and lotus flowers floating in the river and people just going about their daily lives. The river was lined with lots more temples too though on a smaller scale - it's amzing how many of these 'creations' are around.
Spent an hour at the pool and then half hour in the gym. Dinner was at 7 and then we drank in the bare and chatted till late (11 - which is late for us)
It was nice to have a little luxury again and to have a nice lie in on Friday.
After breakfast we strolled around the grounds and then left to see a pottery where they make hand painted china, then on to see a 100 year old market which was much different to the other ones we'd been too. Lastly we went to a zoo full of lions, tigers, black panthers living in mixed cages - I didn't like this zoo as they had orang utangs dressed up and he animals just didn't look 'happy'
Week 2 is nearly over and next week will be spent teaching in a local school.
Speak again soon
