Here we are in Bangkok. It is much the same as we are anywhere, involving swimming, watching DVDs and fending off tummy bugs (my fault for eagerly suggesting we had satays off a street stall to eat in the park for supper last night - I assured Hubby that it would be fine, because street food is always freshly prepared; however, today three out of the five of us are ill, so it looks like I was wrong). Anyway at least we managed to find a park, which is a real novelty after Kathmandu. Actually Kathmandu does have one park, Ratna Park, but you would not take your kids for a stroll and a picnic there in a million years, so the whole play park, pedallo and ice cream thing is a real novelty. This morning we went to a snake farm. Twins pretended to be scared, and Son pretended not to be scared, and I annoyed Hubby by forgetting which button to press on the camcorder and thus missing the moment when he had a Burmese cobra round his neck.
This afternoon we had a right old monsoon downpour and didn't feel guilty at all for staying in and watching Narnia, followed by Treasure Planet. Well, that's what Son did, whilst clutching a casserole dish, in case he suddenly felt the urge to have a chat with Uncle Huey.
Tomorrow the plan is to go to the aquarium, so long as we are all safe to go for more than twenty minutes without needing the loo!
