Sorry! (10-11/01/09)

SATURDAY 10TH JANUARY

Today was my sisters' 26th birthday, the fact that she's never home and she doesn't have skype makes it very difficult to get hold of her, still I tried. The plan for today was to take it easy as we had a long trip back to Bangkok tomorrow, so no heavy drinking.

OOPS.

I got completely shitfaced. I only wanted to go out and watch the Liverpool/Stoke game, but it wasn't on til 00:30a.m so I was having a few drinks while I waited. These few drinks turned in to the heaviest session of the trip so far. I do remember meeting the man that is Rhys Kingdom again, still on the hunt for fresh meat, and also an Aussie named Chris Frankish who I'd previously met while waiting for a bus in Hoi An. Louise told me that I spent most of the game talking to him whilst drinking my bucket of rum and coke through a straw. That's probably the reason why I couldn't recall anything of the game.

SUNDAY 11TH JANUARY

It was 06:00a.m, and I'd had less than 3 hours sleep and it stunk of sick in my room. It might have something to do with the huge pile of sick on the floor and my side of the bed. I managed to somehow get up and was just about able to shower and dress myself in time for the bus. I said my goodbye's to the staff at the hotel. I couldn't apologise to the maid (which I shall do now: sorry) who would have to clean up after me as I was unable to find her mainly cos I was still pissed and totally disorientated.
The bus was about 20 seats overbooked and it took 8 hours to get to the border on the worst roads ever. So bad in fact are these roads, that most of the time people drive on the dirt because it's a smoother ride. I felt sick and hungry and it was about 86F(30C) so I was baking and sweating. It wasn't an enjoyable experience. It then took us two hours to get through border control, which, even by Cambodian standards, is a long time.
We finally got on the Thai side and our driver put his foot down, (In Cambodia if they drive more than 40mph you're making good time.) it was 16:30p.m and we should have been in Bangkok by 18:00p.m. No Chance. I also had to stop and throw up at a service station. I've only been sick like this once before in my life.
We arrived In Bangkok around 19:30p.m. and went to the first guesthouse we came to. It had a bed, a hot shower and a T.V.
Job done.
Food, and then bed.
