Bridge Over The River Kwai

Chet and Carolyn are also guests here at the Mission Hospital and we took them up on their offer to join them on a day trip to the River Kwai. We have some lovely pictures of the river and bridge on the other camera which doesn't connect to the iPad so this iPhone shot is all we have.

We road in a small van for 2 hours which gave Paul and Chet plenty of time to swap stories and discover the long list of people they know in common. When we arrived we had time to walk over the bridge before boarding a train. The one hour train ride took us to a cave that had been used as a hospital for allied POW. Thankfully our van driver met us there so we didn't have to ride the train back.

Our last stop of the day was at the Tiger Temple where we could have interacted was some tigers but Paul was wearing shorts and Teri's dress wasn't the right color to be safe around tigers so we found a shady place to relax while Chet and Carolyn visited the tigers.
