Our first port of call was the Grand Palace which I was extremely excited about!It was incredible...just a plethora of shrines, temples, statues, absolutley amazing!

We got to see the Emerald Buddha, Wat Phra Kaew, we even got to light our incense and present our flower to the Gods which was really cool!We then headed across to Wat Arun which I was particularly excited about as It looks especially spectacular! We took a little boat across the River and found ourslelves at Wat Arun!

I think Wat Arun is my favourite temple so far, I fell in love with the decorative porcelain, it was just so impressive!!!

We then headed back to Khao San for something to eat after being caught in an auful thunderstorm!!!It was today whilst watching CNN we found about about the London Bombings which is really worrying when you are so far away as you have no idea of the extent of these things when its the same footage rolling over and over on the TV.....
