Bang bang

Well morning started well with a massive 10 hour sleep so was all ready for our 7:20 pick up.  Went and had the yummiest breakfast at the hotel and we were then ready to go.  Went and visited china town to get there we had to go right past the protesters who would let you through the piles of tires blocking the road or bags of sand.  They have blocked of lanes and lanes of roads getting in and getting out of the city. Our guide layer it down and said it was Bangkoks party.  We thought it was interesting to see to start with but that all changed! When we were visiting our second temple we heard these banging noises we both looked at each other and said that's gun shots!  The really scary part was they weren't that far away from where we were. We went and asked our guide and he didn't really say much to start with but he was soon on the phone after that!  We just wanted to come home but we had one last temple to look at so had a look at that then headed home.  On our way home it took us about 1/2 hour to go less than 1km and when we went over the over bridge there were sirens and police and the army all along the road.  Was pleased to get home safe and sound.  It's much better over our side of town.  Have had a relaxing afternoon reading my book.
