Silly place for a pool!


The pool is on the 19th floor - it is salt water and it is freezing. Not to mention it is really small and there are only 6 lounge chairs! I had planned to spend the day there but lasted about 45 minutes. Between the water being really cold and the breeze going through it just wasn't pleasant.
I decided to just go for a walk about around the block. It's a big block and my destination was to end up in the ArtPark.

Had to stop for water within five minutes as the temp at street level was mid 30's and there was no breeze! These delicious sounding peanuts were at the checkout.


First time I have ever seen a Thai fire station, I wonder how these big trucks ever get through the traffic.


An open air school - would be very difficult for a student to sneak out the side or skip a class.


Looks like candy floss but I did not cross the road to really look into it.


When I researched spa's this place came up as highly recommended so when I happened across it I had to try a foot massage. So for an hour and a half my feet were pummeled with her hands and a wooden stick. Then she did my neck, shoulders and back.  Made an appointment to go back tomorrow for a thai massage and another foot massage as my feet feel so my better!

As I was having my tea I noticed these wires - what a tangled web!


Carried  on my walk and found the park - for the Thai people appearing to be so liberal they have a lot of things you cannot do in a park.


NO smoking, no littering, no fishing, no dogs, (odd cause I have seen one person walking a dog in a week) and no bicycles. It's a park but you can't do anything. I don't think fish could live in that yucky water !


Some views from pool this evening.

We headed out to the Albert Cuyp Market first thing - we walked by a restaurant that said bacon and eggs and we were in it like a flash! The guy was super nice and we both ordered breakfast. It was interesting because the plate had toast on it the bottom then we think they cooked the bacon and then cooked eggs right on top of the bacon. Sounds odd but it was good - after I pulled the bacon apart from the egg and separated it all!  Tiki says it looked like a bacon and egg pizza! The owner talked us into splitting a piece of apple cake that he had just brought out of the kitchen - it was also very good!!! Freshly baked apple cake! A whole stand of licorice! Pigeon watching me take every bite! Only the Dutch could turn a bike into a table!  Delicious! How small can the cars get! Like the size of a recycling bin! Anne Franks door! Flowers are in bloom! People were lined up down the street for these cookies  - we did not get i...

Oy Vey, Arrived in Bangkok at zero dark thirty this morning just in time to see a beautiful sunrise. My picture does not do it justice. The first leg from Toronto to Dubai was great. I cannot say enough about the service provided by Air Canada. Everyone was very nice and the food was excellent. Even the food in the Maple Leaf Lounge was tasty and I am not saying that because of the three glasses of wine I had. Excellent wine selection ! Maple Leaf Lounge.  My space for the 13 + hours! Arrived In Dubai somewhat refreshed as I did manage to sleep a little. On the way to the lounge I spotted the Brioche Doree  - United Arab Emerites has every major  chain store and restaurant in the world, in my opinion these are the McDonalds of patisseries from France. I looked at a few things along the way in the multitude of duty free stores but the prices did not seem that great. No room for an almond croissant! M & M's, gummies ...
