I
really do like a challenge but right then all I wanted to do was be
at home. I couldnt believe the day that had unfolded: I had been lost
and chased and was almost broke. Totally exhausted and emotionally
drained I collapsed on the bed and drifted off to sleep. When I woke
at 4:30am I was absolutely starving, I realised then that I hadn't
eaten anything since breakfast the day before. Just round the corner
was a 24hr 7-Eleven so I popped in and bought the cheapest thing they
had, which happened to be some kind of chocolate bread. It was so
good that I bought another to have for lunch. The same peaceful start
to another day in Bangkok at Lumphini park was exactly what I needed
to relax before going off to the embassy. The one thing that did
slightly get my heart racing however was a splash from the lake and a
metre long monitor lizard jumping out and running up the bank towards
me. I darted up from the grass and jumped over a bench. Looking back
I had to laugh, it hadn't been coming at me at all, it had just been
going for a rat that was running along the waterline. I was slightly
embarrassed having leapt a bench to get away but it put me in very
good spirits for the rest of the day. Having applied for my visa I
headed back to Cozy, I thought it was about time I tried to get my
cash card sorted. Looking online I found their international
assistance number and used my last 100 Baht to use the phone. I could
not believe what had happened, I had locked it with the wrong PIN
number it was actually 4-6-3-3. I felt like a lot of lesson had been
learnt but still couldn't quite grasp the shipwreck that had been the last few days. They
had definitely been an adventure and a steep learning curve in how to
be prepared for the future.
