 My first overseas flight | Two weeks ago my Mums took me on my very first trip overseas. we went to Thailand for 10 days. I was a bit apprehensive when I got on the airplane. I thought I would be scared and at first I was a little bit scared. I have been on a plane before when I flew to Sydney and back but this was a bit more scary as it was a lot longer. Once the plane took off though I was OK ...except when the plane started to prepare for landing. That's when I felt sick!  Waiting around in airports can be a bit boring |
At the Grand Palace in Bangkok
Thailand is AWESOME!!! part one
| I love Thailand! It is such a great country. I had such an awesome time there. The people are really nice and there is gold everywhere! We packed so much in that there is too much to tell in one blog post so I will have to write a few! On our first day we went to Chatachuk Weekend markets. I thought they were amazing. There was so much to see there, it was a bit overwhelming to me and I didn't really know what to think at first. But I do love shopping and we bought lots of things there. The next day we went to The Grand Palace in Bangkok and the surrounding temples. I loved to see all the gold everywhere. Golden stupas, golden buddhas, golden rooftops, gold everywhere! I even got to meet a Buddhist Monk. |  |

 the first of many tuk-tuk rides I also went on my first ride on a Tuk-Tuk. They are three-wheeled motorbike taxis. I thought it was awesome and much better than a regular taxi, even if it is hot and there's no air-conditioning, it's so much more fun! |  eating Pad Thai for dinner That night I even ate Thai food, this is me eating Pad Thai for dinner. I love noodles so I really like pad thai (except for the vegies :) |
 | The next day we went to Ayutthaya, which is the ancient city and first capital of Thailand. It was a long drive north of Bangkok and it took over an hour to get there. It is now just ruins. I thought it was amazing to walk around in such an ancient place. It was really fantastic.  |

I had a blessing from a monk who gave me a bracelet and then we went to the outdoor reclining Buddha. It was 37 metres long.
We had a boat cruise down the Chao Praya River back to Bangkok from Ayutthaya. It was fun and a great way to see the river and all the people who use the river everyday. People live on houses built along the banks, there were lots of people fishing and there were lots of other boats and lots of temples too!
The next day we went to the Red Cross Institute in the centre of Bangkok to see the snake show. My Mums don't like snakes but I love them and I thought the show was awesome, especially seeing the cobras. I got to hold an Albino Burmese Python.
