Day One: Komodo Spotting

Today marked the first official, clean, enjoyable day of our journey.  After finally getting our backpacks at 3am last night, I had the most mind blowing, earth bending shower ever.  This shower was on par with the shower I had after three days at a music festival, camping in a pile of dirt.  Just sayin', it fucking ruled.  Needless to say, moods lifted substantially once we were clean and had our shit.  Spicy red curry and a ride into downtown Bangkok were warmly welcomed.  Getting away from the intense tourist scene of Khao San Road was definitely much appreciated.  Khao San feels like a mix of Epcot and hell, I just can't put my finger on it.  Uniquely amazing, to say the least.  I am looking forward to escaping to the beach and just soaking up the sun for a while.  The Full Moon party taking place on the 19th is an added SCHWING!!  As predicted, we have taken an astounding one photo (of a donut in 7-11 of all things), but I hereby solemnly swear on this here blogitty blog blag, that I shall take some photos of all the things I am seeing.  Oh!  And speaking of things I am seeing, we saw a KOMODO DRAGON today.  At least it was a Komodo as far as Marcelle and I are concerned.  Huge ass lizard, creepy snake-like tongue.  All the markings of a goddamn Komodo.  We sat an observed this giant beast in awe, as it was in a park in the middle of the bustling business district of Bangkok.  I may never know what this behemoth was for sure, but it was a sight to see.  What better note to end on than a Komodo Dragon spotting.  I bow out now, until the next time!
