Day 3

Actually, this is day 2, after dinner at Nahm we went to the Vertigo Bar, on top of the Banyan Tree hotel. It's on the 60th floor or so, but the bar prices are higher

Still at the Vertigo Bar

River traffic. Actually I set my alarm for 6 am (we were going to Auhythia) but the phone was still on Australian time. Lept out of bed, showered, dressed and then looked at the hotel clock - 3 am!

In the bus

Looking at our first Wat the easy way

The buildings were very beautiful

Anne and Paul and a leaning stranger

 Perhaps this padoga is leaning as well, but

I refuse to develop the Pisa theme.

Inside the Chinese house everything was beautiful and calm, and then ..........

... Anne sighted some low bushes which turned out not to be bushes at all, but replica elephants!

Anne could barely restrain herself .....

... and then she even stopped trying to do so.

The king's guard was called out, and ....

... even though they marched very quickly, there was no stopping her.

Some time later, Anne appeared to be calm again, and had no recollection of her relapse

More of us at more wats

A mixture of new and old padogas

Peter is in this photo just for cover - it's the mobile-wielding monk that's the subject

A very long Buddha.
