Then after harder bartering to get from port to bus we had 3 hr wait..... Until they said" the 2 o'clock bus to paksong has crashed so come now " they should have said " and squeeze into this impossibly cramped back row of minibus" it was a miracle we even got to our seat let alone sit in them. Kids took their tops off it was so hot
Bloke next to me was from Myanmar and was having a vexed conversation in stops and starts as the jungle hills would allow signal
Lady to our left offered a deep fried chicken leg ( but her mobile ring tone was pretty bad)
Large lad in seat in front was smiling and trying to engage Rowan
Driver was not only driving too fast and seemed to need to not only talk to fellow front row passengers but also wanted to check their facial expressions all the time. Thankfully my back row position meant I couldn't "drive the road "with him
As we got to our stop too early we had no lift to Eco logic, as car was on an errand so two female Thai cooks on motorbikes we summonsed to pick us up so we were 3 up on each bike. It was the first time I had long black hair in my mouth as we sped along!
Now we have arrived and are sitting in the communal large veranda with rotating round central table
( like some Chinese restaurants have) mountainous jungle is all around
Sicadas going, gentle music playing, motorbike chugging up a hill, birds, and food being prepped for us. Rowan saying" can I play angry birds yet" Esme hungry. Mummy reading
