...the walk to the 7 Eleven, which I made yesterday in water over a metre deep for most of the way. It was quite dangerous, because it was impossible to see a curb or pot hole. Despite losing my shoe in the water twice, I made it to the 7 Eleven and managed to pick up 12 small bottles of water which I carried back on my shoulders. The walk which usually takes about 15mins there and back took 1.5 hours!!!! If I had realised how deep it was going to get, I don't think I would have gone. Nevertheless, I enjoyed the experience (sort of), the locals were so up-beat as usual, and of course they were very surprised to see me, and I got some great photo's.
Not sure I will be rushing out again, as the water is now a good deal deeper and set to rise even further!!! It will be quicker to swim!!
This email was all the more surprising when I tell you that Sue is the latest addition to my list of geographically challenged friends, she can't find her way anywhere! I am mightily impressed Sue, that you found your way there and back, with the landscape so changed.

Sue,
ReplyDeleteI love the photos! What an adventure you are having. I bet you didn't think you would be doing this when you moved to Bangkok a year ago. Keep smiling. Janice
