... road, but also from our seats in the back of the bus next to the stinky restroom. In Zitacuaro we took a brief break in the station before our next bus ride, giving Sophia a chance to run around and ride a coin-operated car. We then hopped on a local ...

... run today. So we still had to be up early and head for the bus station anyways... The four hour bus from Bangkok stops at a bus station about 7km's away from the border. So we took a Tuk Tuk, which turned right off the main road to a shop ...

... nchen and jumped off the train like our pants were on fire...) We exited and Godwin said he knows where the hotel is, we can walk there, its close to the station and don't bother looking at the map. So we were like, alright, and we started following him. ...

... see it from the ground. I was exhausted and we wearily made our way back to Port du Versaille where Sophie, James and my mum met us at the metro station. It was 10pm and dark by this time and we hadn't eaten anything of substance since the frites that ...
