Exploring Bangkok

Tim and I lucked out with our Guesthouse because it is right by Fort Phra Sumen and the large river that runs through Bangkok. At this fort/park we got to see many boats, thai people doing aerobics, people fishing, and we encountered some pretty cool reptiles (Tim's favorite part). We saw a turtle, some geckos, and a huge Nile Monitor Lizard. The lizard looked like a mini crocodile and we caught it right when it was feasting on a large fish.

Yesterday we took advantage of the river and hopped on a ferry boat to the center of town. On our way we met a nice couple, one from Germany and the other from Quebec, (Jensen & Marianne) that we shared the day with. After a long ferry ride, we got on the metro and "got lost". We stumbled upon a huge shopping mall, a temple, the US Embassy, and the Lumphini Park (where we saw more Nile Monitor Lizards). Once the day was over we decided to hang out with our new friends a little longer over some Thai food and Chang beer. Unfortunately they had to take off for an island in the South but we hope to meet them again in our 5 months of traveling.

Today Tim and I are leaving Bangkok for a smaller town, Ayuthaya. We will let you know how that adventure goes and post more pictures soon.
