Jeremy the God of Plastic
Finally a day off. We needed it. We had to change rooms in the hostel to a double (for the rest of the week) and that was about it so we decided to go shopping for some odds and ends. Got a big box of tea sachets, some plastic cups (finally) and a mountain of fruit (dunno what got into me) along with some essentials. V failed dismally at her attempt to find a t-shirt amongst the thousands on sale but the main reason for going out (besides tea) was to find a piece of PVC pipe to pack our snazzy chopsticks into.
When I asked the guy at the hostel reception for a hardware store he looked at me blankly. Pointing to a pipe on the wall he indicated where we may find some – he must be thinking we are trying to make a bong 🙂 No luck on that street but it was good to wander around the town centre – it’s a beautiful little town. Walking back to the hostel, right there, right in front of my foot was a piece of PVC pipe the right length and diameter. Just the pipe. No other building rubble, litter or junk, just the pipe – it must be a sign 😉 Boy did we LOL.
We have spent the afternoon planning the next section of the trip, watching West Wing (on Season 3 now) and generally goofing off in our airconditioned room. Life is good and my cold is much better. Tomorrow – Climbing – Excellent.

Reading what you two have been up to is great. Pat yourselves on the back for such an excellent idea of doing this blog.
Enjoy yourselves, what yoou’re doing is what some of us only dream of. Have fun and take care.
Love you lots
Thanks Pen,
We really are having a great time. The blog thing has also been a great way for us to remember where we have been as I am already forgetting some of the names of some of the sights. The trip just keeps getting better as we go along too. Plus it’s great that you guys can share our adventure as it progresses.
Lol – mine was a pair of socks just when my soggy feet were about to check out!Your pipe is no doubt recycled bong! God works in mysterious ways… lol. Just make sure you wash it!
Been on a west wing diet. Extreme bonus geek memory question –
