Bicycles and Temples.

Feeling a little worse for wear, we headed to Ayutthaya where we would hire out some bikes and cycle round temple ruins, this was enjoyable at first, bit tiring it the scorching heat but was something different, until we headed to the second to last temple, the guide was on a motorbike and was supposed to be leading the way, we were at the front of the group and he had just gestured for us to go straight on whilst he checked the people at the back, so we went straight on, and ended onto a high way, know i don't even drive so never had to deal with this situation in a car let alone on a bicycle, so it was scary to say the least then we saw the next obstacle, a massive incline, we were tired already and this was just the last straw, we cycled up it eventually made it up the hill, god knows how, i think i was probably taking up a whole lane swerving all over the place, then we finally saw the downhill part, and did not peddle at all, due to the light headed feeling, one of my group was seeing dots, and then one of the other girls passed out, but not before she got of the bike and put it on it's stand. Now the ruins were okay, not as pretty as the actual temples, but interesting. After the ordeal I did not think I was going to be able to make it to the next temple, so we all stopped for some food, in a restaurant that had no air con just one fan, that we took it turns to stand by it, think the waiters thought we were a bit odd! So we set off to the last temple, this one wasn't a ruin but a lovely looking temple, just when we thought we were going to be cycling a different way the guide headed on to the high away again, my legs went to jelly and I couldn't make it. I just wanted to head back to the hotel at this point, and what a relief it was when we did, The hotle we stayed at was lovely, big room with a nice bathroom with an actual flush (bonus) this was a great night, where alot of us bonded over painting nails and chatting, just getting to know each other, my room mate at this time was a girl called Kayla from Scotland, she's a great laugh and we got on great, we were heading off to bed, when we were just chatting and ended up staying up until about 1 in the morning. The next day we had an easy day where we could just chill and explore the small town of Ayutthaya, then at night we were to set off on a overnight bus to Chiang Mai.
