the Big Mango

Well that was weird.

Got on plane to Bangkok only to discover it went all the way through to London heathrow - don't panic, we remembered to get off but it did feel a bit odd being on a plane that was going home!

Landed at 11pm which was 3 in the morning to us so headed straight to airport hotel and crashed into bed (after spending 10 mins gazing in awe at the lavishness of reception - this is kind of 5* luxury at Premier Inn prices - hurrah!).

Of course getting in to bed was delayed a little by Martyn discovering that the hotel room was kitted out with home automation plug sockets like we get at home (or something like that anyway). 'Look' he said from the bathroom 'I can turn the radio on in the bedroom from here'. He promptly turned out all the lights.

Aha I thought - Home away from home!

Even Martyn commented that it was a bit like the 'Nothing in my house works.com' T Shirt he got me for Christmas only this one should read 'Nothinginmyhotelworks.com' which I thought was a bit harsh really given that most of the time he tells me its just user error. I managed to keep quiet at this point.

and then slleeeeppp......

and breakfast - ouch. Must still have been a bit tired or something. Headed down to restaurant to order cereal A La Carte having worked out what our breakfast budget was......got waved into seat and told to enjoy buffet. Completely forgot about cereal. Have just spent 3 nights room budget on two breakfasts and one hours internet. Ha Ha Ha Ha. Very budget place booked for next three nights. Decided we better make the most of our breakfast bodge and am now sat completely stuffed and unable to move in hotel room. Needless to say Martyn enjoyed cooked breakfast!

Ah well, off we go to find bus and head into chaos of Bangkok also known as the Big Mango for some as yet not understood reason
