23/6
Dad: I had a HUGE sleep catchup last night! I must have been completely wrecked because I slept until midday – I tried to watch a movie last night and didn’t even see the start!! Haha!
Last night just before I fell asleep it rain so hard the roads were turned into rivers! I told you this on the phone about all the rubbish floating down the street – it’s pretty disgusting really. I saw huge rats scuttling about too – the size of small cats….
Once I got up it was off to the pool on the roof for a bit of chilling out and cooling down – it’s crazy hot here just now.
A late long lunch was had down the quiet walking street where we found some nice wine and yellow curry and we chatted to a Thai lady who made us all laugh with her rough English – she was very funny!
It was a very lazy day, lunch was followed by the pool and swimming which was followed by a quick nap and chill out.
Helen and Kane are off tomorrow and then all of the bus people have gone on somewhere else and it will be just me. They spent the day getting everything ready to go and some last minute present buying/bag packing – they’re taking Croc out to watch England play football tonight – he’s very excited Milla!
Slo-Kooka: Dad slept while Croc and I played backgammon – we were taught how by Helen yesterday, it’s a good game but Dad is terrible at it, he always loses! Croc and I played 7 games and I won 4-3. Croc is good, but I’m better!
Then it was time for a quick dinner and the game of football was on – Croc has been so excited all day and Helen had bought him a wee England flag to hold too!
When we went for dinner a Thai man stole Croc and took him for a ride on the coconut cart down the KhaoSan road! Croc sold a couple of coconuts and then came back. I had a nice relaxing day today!
Croc: Yaaaah! Football is on and I was given a flag to hold too! I’m cheering for England, if they don’t win they won’t go through to the next round and the Kane and Helen (and Christian) will be dissappointed. My favourite player is Messi from Argentina but on the England team I like Rooney – he looks like a Teddy bear. We’re watching the game at the Shamrock on KhaoSan road and we’re sitting with a couple from Oslo, Norway who are coming to study in NZ in a couple of days (I think they leave the day before us) so that’s pretty funny – they let me sit on their shoulders so I can see the game better.
England scores!! It’s 1-0 and the crowd goes bananas! There are HEAPS of English people here in Bangkok and all around South East Asia.
At half time Dad gets to talking with a Dutch guy from Rotterdam, he used to play for Feyernoord (not sure how it’s really spelt..) and he’s here because he’s going to coach football at the Saigon football club. He thinks I’d make a good mascot but Dad tells him that I already belong to Milla so he can’t keep me.
The game ends 1-0 and England are through, they flick the channel to the USA game and we see the final goal and USA won 1-0 too so they are top of the table – England will face Germany in the next round!
It’s Kane and Helen’s last night so we go to the rooftop and listen to a live band who are awesome and we sing along (we really have to stop Dad singing…. He hurts our ears – haha)
And then it’s time to sleep – only 2 days left!
