On Monday morning we took the train from Bandung to Jakarta, then a cab to the airport, and then caught our flight back to Bangkok. We ready to crash when we finally made it to our hotel.
Today we took the sky-train into downtown, since we haven't actaully seen Bangkok aside from it's stunning airport (for reals) and stunning central train station (not for reals).
A day of lasts:
Last tuk-tuk ride
Last chance to scarf down 30-baht mango-sticky-rice
Last cheap pedicure
Last coconut ice-cream
Last peruse through the local 7-Eleven.
(There are literally 3 of these on every city block, and their air-conditioned store provided a safe haven from the heat, as well as a place to break our large currency, the guarantee of cheap bottled water, Magnum ice-cream bars and other fine Thai delacacies.)
On the way home we saw this dog with eye-brows:
Tomorrow morning we have a 3:30am wake-up call, as our first of three flights leaves at 6:00am. We fly to Japan, then into Seattle, and then finally into Calgary.
Thanks for reading!

It was a make it up as you go along type of quilt. The arrows are my own tutorial from May 1 2014. The tutorial is on my blog on that date. I'd love to see what you do with your own version.
