A Different Kind of Christmas!

Up so early, so why not tour another temple or two?! Maybe another palace too!
This one was interesting too with alot of history, it might have made more sense if I had had a better sleep. But what I gathered was that it was built in the 1300s by the Thai people at Ayuthaya that used to be the capital of Thailand. The Burmese (not Myanmar) attacked the temple and destroyed the beautiful Buddha images and buildings and it's now been left as a World Heritage Site. Very sad to see the destruction of what would have been so beautiful with so much manual physical labour to build it. Also saw the original Royal Palace and where the Pagoda with the Kings Ashes were placed and it is all cemeted up now.
Back to the hotel for some R n R and rays by the pool. Another hilite of my day was the phone calls from my family. Kylie was so sweet to call me at 5:30am cause I had texted her to tell her I'd be up early and we had a great chat for about 25 minutes, thanks hun, that's the best present you could have given me! Then my brother, Guy called and I also got to talk to nephew Jo and Mom and Dad which was so awesome! It's great cause with phones and internet you don't seem so out of touch with everyone.
Was hoping to find somewhere with a turkey dinner but I ended up having a nice Seabass with black pepper and vegetable dinner with a rice cake designed like a turtle, why a turtle I'm not sure usually they are just round bowls. Got to hear my favorite Christmas song, The Little Drummer Boy made by dinner complete along with the great company of my traveling companions- Maja, Graham and Barbara and our guide Tee.

Oops not sure what happened but the pics didn't post! :( Oh well off to bed, good night and Merry Christmas to All! Peace and love to you all!
