first day in bangkok

The busy weekend market! So tempting...

After not sleeping very well, i managed to get myself up and ready for a day exploring bangkok. The city is huge and i headed firstly to the weekend market. Packed with clothes, art and food stalls this maze could keep anyone busy for hours! I had to resist buying too much because my small ruclsack is already rather full. From there i went to the grand palace and checked out the reclining budda. Sadly the weather wasn't that great with a few showers here and there and it wasn't all too much fun on my own but luckily i got talking to an italian and an english couple who have been travelling for a year in australia and have also been to burma. They shared some great information with me and i told them about christian and my india trip, which was their next destination. Was a lovely evening!
