Kanchanaburi

 

Day 1:

Kanchanaburi! Our home for the next few days.

Ambling across the famous Bridge over the River Kwae and

Nervously interviewing the curator of a local museum and studying all their amazing artefacts.

 

Day 2:

Challenging ourselves to identify items in an ‘archaeological’ dig in a box,

Haggling for souvenirs at the Tham Krasae Market and visiting the cave temple, then off to stand in

Awe at Hellfire Pass; creating thoughtful poetry to honour those who lost their lives.

 

Day 3:

Nipping along the river in a longtail boat to then

Ascend the stairs to Lawa Caves – they are so amazing and

Beautiful. Next stop –Sai Yok National Park for a trail, learning games and environmental art!

 

Day 4:

Urgently working as a team to win Gutterball before

Returning to the city to visit the Thailand – Burma Railway Centre and Donrak Cemetry:

Imagining the heartbreak of those left behind.
