This is supposed to be the hot & dry season in thailand, but today (as the last 2 days) the weather is very different from normal. Even locals are walking around rubbing their arms & pulling up their jackets high around their necks while looking around themselves as if asking what is wrong with mother nature...it was a mere 16°C! Take note, normal temperature this time of year is around 30 (in the shade). Adding continuous drizzling rain all day long, we had the feeling of already being back in Belgium ;-)
At 5pm we went to eat our noodlesoup and set off to the trainstation. In Thailand again, so that means a normal price to take your bike with you on the train (90 baht/bike, ticket +/- 700 baht/person: this is a normal ration :-) ). We bought ourselves a puzzle (500 pieces) so we had something to do on the train. Turned out to be more difficult than we thought. We started to get tired and wanted to go to sleep, but the puzzle wasn't finished yet. So we had to break it up again, shit! Yeah well, that means we'll have something to do on the islands or somewhere were we stay more than one day. So we went to sleep and hoped for once the train would have some delay, otherwise we would arrive in Ayutthaya at 4.30 am. Try and find a guesthouse then! The train did as we hoped and had a delay of almost two hours. Yess, that meant daylight! Breakfast no problem, 'cause 7eleven is open always ;-) We'll catch up on some sleep for a couple of hours and after that we'll go and visit Ayutthaya.
