Homehug!!

We've had another big day of traveling today, with all three kids asleep tonight by 7pm!! Flew from Bangkok to Ubon Ratchathani, hired a car and I drove the 100kms to Yasothon. Despite directions from Peter, I still drove past the orphanage a zillion times before I worked out I could pull up a picture on my iPhone and show it to someone who could point me in the right direction!! Did the same for the hotel, pulled up the website on my phone and showed it to some locals who gave me directions!! Clearly you dOnt need to speak the same language to give or receive directions, sign language of sorts was very effective!! And a note about driving in Thailand - indicators, using lanes, speed limits and any sort of road rules are all optional!! But I figured that I just had to drive the same to blend in, and I was fine! Nothing like overtaking a car and just assuming the oncoming traffic will make a third lane and drive in the shoulder to let you through!! I don't know why they bother painting white lines at all!! So after all that we quickly checked into our hotel, then went in to see the kids! Was so good to see them again!! And Kuhn Wutt and the beautiful staff too! Mae Thiew wasn't there this afternoon, so I will see her tomorrow. Can't wait!! 😄
