Friday 13th - Saturday 14th April

Had rather a brief amount of time here.  Did a lot of history related things which I thoroughly enjoyed.  Went to the JEATH Museum, WWII Museum, crossed the Death Railway Bridge and drove up to Hellfire Pass where you can walk along part of the railway line and through a cut that Australian POW's made.  It was a sobering experience.

In the afternoon we went up to Erwan Waterfall where I managed to lose everyone.  Wandered back and forth for a bit decided to just head up the hill and went up to the 5th level (of 7).  I eventually took a side path down to a fairly quiet bit and been sat for only a couple of minutes when the others started down the same path.  Very, very lucky!  Time would have gone rather slowly otherwise I'm sure!  The falls were nice despite the slight nibbling of fishes and my slipping on the rocks, I don't know how I ever kept my balance in ballet classes!

Ate at the night market when we got back which was lots of fun, you're never quite sure what your getting!
