Okay, getting ready to leave the hotel. Crys is taking a quick shower. We walked down to Starbucks for coffee and tea this morn, since the local place Barb had tried yesterday was apparently less than stellar. Had a "Very Berry Hibiscus Tea" that was most excellent. Then wondered about the local market place for a little while before stopping to break our fast at a tiny hole in the wall that served Bangladeshi and Thai food. Had some kind of shrimp fried rice noodle dish myself. First bite was odd, very nutty with some unusual spices. Like so often happens with unusual tasting foods, the more I ate the tastier it became. Crys grabbed some kind of cashew chicken dish that she seemed to enjoy as well.
Now we'll be getting out of here in about twenty minutes and heading for the train station. Recommendation is to get there early if you want the better cars. I believe the train pulls out at 2:45 local time (about 1:45am CST). We'll get there about two hours early, but I'm told there are decent places to explore around there. Unfortunately one of us will have to stay and guard the bags, but we can take turns doing that between the three of us. Should be fun based on what I've heard!
