Sorry I was overcome there for a second. Terry is the guy we go fishing with in Prince Rupert most summers and it was really wonderful to have the fortune of meeting up with him. We called him when we arrived at the hotel and soon after dinner while I was writing the last blog he and his girlfriend showed up at our door. We chatted for a bit and headed down to a sort of Irish Pub/Sports Bar for a couple drinks. On the way Terry told of the bombs ect that have been going off around town for the last two days and the tear gas ect that the police are starting to use and the possibility of Marshall Law. I know all you mom’s in the crowd are immediately thinking we should be headed back to the airport and on the next flight home but please let me assure you we are in NO DANGER!!! These things are happening down by the government house and nowhere near us, in fact the chances of a Thai person ruining their tourist income by bringing that here are lower than the chances of me not showering for 3 days. In other words, IT WON’T HAPPEN. Had Terry not told us, I don’t think we would have even known.
We’ve made a plan to do a whirl-wind tour of Bangkok with Terry tomorrow and also to get some pedicures ect, you know a little spoiling really is in order after all our hard work traveling! After that we’re hoping to head down to Ko Pha-Ngan on Thursday morning with Terry and Naan (I hope that’s how she spells it). We’ll spend a week there vegging and then maybe head to Chiang Mai before back to Bangkok. Everything is up in the air, kind of.
Anyways, be rest assured we are safe and well looked after.
PS – We totally get ripped off for cell rates in Canada!!
