And Then We Went To The Philippines
... hmmm!
To treat ourselves for surviving this far we call into our favourite cake shop called Mr Bun! Mr Bun makes very delicious buns and we eat greedily. Full of buns we take the underground Metrolink to the Skytrain terminal. The Skytrain will take us all the way to the airport and give us a great view of Bangkok from above. Because it is in the sky. Yes, a train in the sky. Brilliant! The views are impressive and the mix of old/new, rich/poor ...
Manila
