The Luciaday without Lucia! 🎅

This morning Julius came and collected my laundry for his wash machin! Then he came back and we decided to take the train to a retreat - Daen Mahamongkol Meditation Centre -
So we went on his motorbike to the train station and took the train! It started west and we past over the bridge over river Kwae! It was a 1 1/2 hour ride in a beautiful agricultural landscape. We past some really scenic part by the river and we ended up at the station that was only for the retreat! There were lots of people on the train especially to take photos, selfies etc of the scenic part!
We arrived at the retreat and a very friendly man welcomed us - no photos, no phones and we got some white clothes to wear. We walked over a very nice bridge into the calmness! There were many buildings with great buddhas and beautiful pagodas! We walked around and talked for almost two hours! Back to the entrence, changing clothes and getting back the mobiles and we were offered a coffee! Nice! Then we waited for the train to take us back again! It was a very nice experience the whole afternoon! 
Back in Kanchanaburi, I walked back the the place while Julius went for the laundry and he also checked the bustime for tomorrow!
We went to our favorit place "the frogg legg" and we had a nice dinner with rice and fish! I hit my head on the way so it was bleading and we stoped at a Farmacy for iodine to put in the wound! At the rest. I asked for ice in a plastic bag to put on the head! 
I'm now in the bed and it feels good! Tomorrow morning of to the AirPort with bus!
