Almost a Disaster.....

Disaster......
Well not quite, but had lovely relaxing morning yesterday thenGraham and I went on an excursion of our own around Bangkok. Went inTaxi, then Long Boat around canals and saw how a lot of Thais live,then got Tuk Tuk to China Town, then Subway followed by 2 differentSkyrail trains, then another Tuk Tuk back to Hotel.
By this stage totally exhausted again and lost my mobile phone somewhere in Bangkok so then spent 2-3 hours trying to cancel service, things don't work quickly or particularly well. But one good thing about standing on aBangkok corner trying to use public phone at midnight was an elephant just wandered by past us!!
So hence no messages or photos from me lately. Trying to get Grahams phone going so Anne could you text his phone 0419 722 047 with your number as late as you can tomorrow (30th)and hopefully it is going by then. Bye for now Belinda

Bowled Over!

Opening Ceremony awesome- incredibly hot and had to wait for princess to arrive for 2 hours standing in stadium- inside thank goodness but very difficult. Apparently she would not get out of the car until it stopped raining!!
As for tenpin BUGGER! Had gold in doubles but they had put us in lower age category and after corrected we got fourth. In singles came 10th- sorry Coach even remembered thumbs up!
Have met heaps of people from many countries. Still making sure we get to see BLOG. Glad to hear still standing
Best wishes to allB and G
