Power Couple Travels

Power Couple at the Ironman Colombo 2019 I started this blog off by writing "woke up very early" but then I realized that we actually didn't get to sleep. LOL! 6AM is usually our daily bedtime (yes, we're nocturnal beings), so we just rested and watched this movie about the notorious Colombian drug dealer in the 70s til 90s, Paolo Escobar entitled "Loving Pablo, Hating Pablo". Not bad at all. Anyway, the day before the event, hubby was lucky to score some souvenir jersey shirts from the Ironman merchandise booth. In fact, he was the last customer at the cashier. His shirt fitted him just perfectly, whereas mine was a bit loose. But hey, we're still lucky to have scored these!

When you're in Thailand especially in Bangkok, it is almost a sin to skip the Floating Market at Damnoen Saduak which is more than an hour away from the shopping capital.

And if you're up to buying some souvenirs or any goodies, you'll have more than choices than others. Nearby from the Floating Market, there are a few Elephant Camps and Zoos you can check out. We went to Samphran Elephant Ground and Zoo, where we watched couple of animal shows. We love animals but the guilty thought of how these animals were trained always kick in whenever we watch animal shows. Also included in our full-day tour is a tasty Thai lunch in a nice restaurant. Watch our adventurous day!
