So last night we had to introduce the Germans to the Von Trap family. Can you believe it, never heard of the "Sound of Music". Celia and I were singing it up at the top of our lungs with ze Germans staring at us like we were crazy. The hills are aliiiiiiiiiiivvve with the sound of Lehmannnnnnnnnnnns.
We we're finally on our way to Thailand, great as this may seem, it was unfortunately time to say goodbye to some great friends we made.
Wait one sec.. just imagine some great music montage (prob. Barry Manilow - Trying to get that feeling again) going on in the background ala "Friends" with all our magic moments together rolling over in background.
Got the mood..?
Marco & Sonia were off to Laos, Isabella and Heindrick to Perth, The Dutchies off to Aus and more of Cambodia and Simon & Sarah the English couple now off to ... not sure.
We jumped on the 10h bus trip which as i found out later was actually called the "Siem Riep to Bangkok bus scam". Aptly named as the drivers stretch a 6h trip into about 15 hours so that when you get to your destination you are so exhausted and it's so late that you end up booking into the guest house they drop you off in front of. They end up with the commission, so great success for them. Unfortunately this time the drivers were as tired as us and we just ended up finding our own spot to stay for the night.
Exhausted, we headed straight to bed. A little disappointed we missed the Kings birthday celebrations though. He's is the longest serving monarch in the world and is very loved by all the Thai people.
Good night
