Today was a free day for us to spend as we please. A few of us got together and went to the Museum am King's Palace. It was interesting to see the grandeur of the rooms and furniture. There was also a classic car showroom. Next we went to a couple of temples along the route to the river. I have seen many temples now on my travels, but each and every one has something different to define it. The detailing and architecture continue to fascinate me!
We enjoyed a cool fruit drink by the river to rest our feet after all the walking. Some other tourists in the cafe told us to cross the bridge to the other side to experience a village wedding. So off we went! The bridge was rather rickety and not for the faint hearted! On the other side was a cute little village and sure enough some music playing out loudly. Everyone was dressed up and dancing at this wedding. Also at the village were little craft shops, paper making and paintings.
A spot of traditional lunch and it was late afternoon already. I packed up my backpack ready for tomorrow's journey. For dinner, we walked across to the river and crossed another rickety bridge to go to a traditional barbecue place. They had cushions and candles and the atmosphere was great. A few from the group got the barbecue and it was a real experience! They had to cook their own meat, veg and egg using broth and fat. They were working up a sweat whilst building their appetites! Everyone enjoyed dinner. After dinner, we had a last stroll through the night markets as we would be leaving tomorrow morning.
