Here in Bangkok we met up with our old friends Steve and Barb! They've just come over on the Crystal Symphony and are touring SouthEast Asia. Bangkok is mid-90's hot and humid which you can see in our faces as we visit two of the many of the beautiful temples (or wats) that are in the city. Above, George and Ann pose in front of the 5 ton solid gold Golden Buddha. Below, we pose with Steve and Barb at the foot of the Reclining Buddha.
We also walked through the street markets -- stall after stall of beautiful flowers and flower tributes. It is the Buddhist tradition to have small temples in each home decorated each day with fresh flowers. George even got a blessing for our trip from a monk that we met on the ferry across the river!
As Easter morning dawned, we got this shot of the Bangkok skyline from our room in the Peninsula Hotel. We boarded a longboat like the one below and toured the river and canals of Venice of the East!
