(Katherine) The day began with our 5th visit to the Bangkok Christian Hospital, but this time I saw a cornea specialist. Luckily, she indicated that the infection appeared to disappearing, but my vision was a bit worse than the day before . She assured that I should wait until the infection is gone before I become alarmed, but I’m preparing for the fact that I might need to start ordering a slightly stronger prescription for my left eye. I’ll cross my finger that my vision improves this week!
We enjoyed another lunch at the nearby Derby King and then headed to the Vietnamese Embassy to submit our paperwork for our visas. Our plan is to leave Bangkok and start traveling this weekend, so we literally just submitted everything in time to receive our visa before we leave for Southern Thailand. We fought our way through the traffic back to the hotel to enjoy a lovely evening at our poolside rooftop. The sunset was beautiful against a cloudy sky. Little did we know what we had in store…
We ventured out for an early dinner to our favorite roadside shack and noticed a few raindrops. We didn’t fret, because we haven’t seen a real downpour since we arrived. Just as we finished our meal (under a plastic tarp, mind you) we noticed that the rain was starting to come down - hard. We thought we could make it to our favorite bar before the rain truly struck, but we were not so fortunate. We were completely soaked after just one block and looked like we just stepped out of the shower. Ironically, we then ran the rest of the way home to get into the shower and wash off the “not-so-clean” Bangkok rain. I guess this is what they mean by “monsoon season”!
