Part 1 - Bangkok & Myanmar
|
I woke up around 2am in incredible pain in my lower left back, tried to find the most comfortable position to sleep in which involved putting aside my pillow and I slept fitfully through the night and woke early with a visit to the toilet where someone had finished the toilet roll and not replaced it even though there were rolls just next to the toilet door. I struggled to do basic things especially lifting my leg to put on my trousers so that after breakfast I went back upstairs for some more sleep. I spent most of the day slowly recovering before heading out for food after 3pm only to find the places stop serving food between 3 and 5 but I did find somewhere eventually which only had a choice of curries and given how bony or fatty the meat can be I chose the fish which was good although I didn't use all of the plates I was given especially not anything which looked like chillis. I didn't feel too bad now walking so I went to see the Shan palace and arrived in time for the woman who lives/works there to give her last talk of the day, so I got a bit of history of this region and Myanmar in general. Headed back into town and grabbed some more food before watching the North London derby live and was joined at my table by lots of guides from the trekking company just in front of the hostel. They were mostly supporting Arsenal as well but it finished 1-1 and they didn't seem upset like fans back home would be. Back at the hostel it was pretty quiet again and I tried to get more rest so that hopefully I could do a tour the next day as they did have people signed up for the 1 day hard trek which may not be the best option if my back is still dodgy.
