On the road again....

Today was another traveling day, from Ayutthaya to Sukothai, another old capital. We took the train around 8.30 together with the guys who got off a bit earlier, at Loburi to go and look at the monkeys. So we said our goodbyes and exchanged e-mails....
It was a long train ride and hot again. Took the train to Pintsanulok and then still the bus for one hour. Bus was overcrowded, we had to stand part of the time in what was more a tourist bus then a regular bus so with no real place to stand.
We have a great guest house. It's pretty small, only 3 rooms but the lady is very friendly. She's a tour guide and will give us a few more tips for tomorrow.
We pamperd ourselves today and went to a restaurant instead of eating on the streets or go to the night market. But the food is so cheap there, never spent more than 30 bath on a meal...
Also something I didn't expect was that I would be on the back of a motorbike with my big backpack on my back. But they have only motor taxis in Shankla so there was no other way as I'm not that crazy to walk up a hill for something like 2 kms with a back pack. We took those motorbikes every time we went to eat, a few times even with two on the back....
