More than just a bridge
We have now landed in Kanchanaburi on the river Kwai. The place itself isn't really that interesting. It does of course have the famous bridge but that is just 200 metres of a 450km railway built by POW's. More interesting was a trip to the museum and the war cemetary that tells the tale of how the whole line was built.
After a day of war sights we needed something a bit more upbeat so headed off to Erawan falls. It's a seven tier set of waterfalls with a trek up through the Thai jungle. Spiders, snakes, monkeys and huge lizards await.We are now just chilling here for a few days. The guesthouse we are at isn't great but the staff are friendly and the food is excellent. We will probably stay here a day or two before we head back to Bangkok to pick up our visas for Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia and then head up towards Ayuthaya and Chiang Mai.
Alex, Desmond is going to be in Bangkok next week. Shall I give him your address...?

Why not? I'm at 1 Bangkok Street, Bangkok - tell him to look me up! But if I see him in the karaoke bar next to mine doing his moon walk I'm getting off the stage!!

Hey Alex and Debs,
