San Sook Place, Ayutthaya, Day 2

Our second day in Ayutthaya starts pretty early as we rent a couple of bikes and head out to explore. Our first stop is a temple just over the river that surrounds the city. It's pretty cool but I think we are both pretty temples out now so we don't spend long there. After stopping for some food at a 7/11 we aim to check out st Joseph church and another temple but, after missing our turn, we end up biking through a small village, albeit with some very cool, brightly coloured temples in it.
It's a boiling hot day and after finding our way back, we aim to head back, but to take in a few more of the sights on the way. This involves a detour that looks pretty simple on the map we have been given. After biking for around 30 minutes we arrive at a point on the map that looks completely diferent in real life. After some deliberation, we head over a bridge thinking it would take us to town, but end up heading towards Bangkok on a motorway. It's too hot, we're both burning, and Amy is very angry with me for not turning back when she said (where is he fun in turning back). After asking for help we finally arrive on the right track, and soon we are heading back to Ayutthaya with aching legs and sweaty clothes. We arrive back in the park and relax in some shade for a bit, and see another giant lizard thing, before heading back to the house.
We head out after dark on the bikes again and get some food. It is pretty dissapointing though so, still hungry, we head to the night market. The choice of food is great and we decide to try the traditional Asian dishes of choclate brownies and garlic bread. We bike back full up and ready to sleep after what turned into an unneccesarily hard days cycling. We did get to see a lot of the surrounding area though!Read more
