If only we could speak or read Thai..

Today we traveled to Kanchanaburi the town where The Bridge on the River Kwai is located. Up at 5AM to get a taxi to to the bus station at the far end of town. Can't pronounce the name well but the concierge at Gregs apartment helps us so-No problem. Nice lady at bus station asks our destination can't pronounce that either but we work it out- bus 81- no problem. BUT, we don't get on the 2 hour bus, we are on the 31/2 hour bus that stops a million times. No problem except also no bathroom. Yeah, that last hour was very long. The bus ends in in the middle of a city- huh? We thought we were going to a rural area. Found a tuk tuk driver but couldn't read English or understand the name of our inn. Yea for the tuk tuk passenger who spoke enough English to help us out!!
All part of the fun. Full day planned for tomorrow with hiking and sightseeing.
