End of the tour

The last day of the tour. All good things have to come to an end and we have had the most amazing time and made so many good friends.

After only 6hrs sleep we dragged ourselves out of bed as we had arranged to go and see the Grand Palace and Emerald Buddha with Dan and Laura. The best time to go is early, before it gets too hot although the heat was still incredibly overbearing when we got there at 9am.

The Emerald Buddha is quite hard to see as it's 9ft high in the air. We watched people praying to it for a while and then I bought the 4 postcards of the buddha in his 3 seasonal outfits.

The grounds of the Grand Palace were bright and colourful. It was an astonishingly beautiful place but because most of the buildings were painted white, it made it very, very hot!
