Creepy Bus, Delicious Buffet

Gotta write fast, leaving in 5.

So last night we were supposed to go to this delicious amazing buffet thing. Well, we left late because people got back late, walked for a while, Denny decided to get us a bus. It was supposed to be a ten minute ride.

Note the ten minutes.

Most of us sat up top, enjoying the open front, dodging wires and tree branches occasionally, talking a bit. I actually started to go hoarse from talking so much and was quiet for a while after that, surprising most people that I was capable of it. After about two hours of this, and Denny going off on his own once or twice which was... worrying... David and Sigrid decided this needed to end. Now. It all seemed very shady. So the guy was supposed to lead Denny to the hotel, bullshit no, we were all walking together. So we did, all of us fairly on edge, not trusting these guys anymore... but there it was, the hotel we were eating at. Somehow, amazingly. Maybe they were just incompetent and didn't know where they were going, maybe they were malicious, I'll never really know. But the buffet was still waiting, they immediately gave us Kingfishers which we REJOICED for, and the food, while 100% unidentifiable, was all absolutely delicious. One of the best meals of my life. The dessert, a fruit-filled musli or something (it had grapes, orange slices, pomegranate seeds, bananas, all kinds of stuff), especially stood out. Just fantastic. The place itself was gorgeous too, I think it belonged to a maharaja or something at one point, beautiful walls and ceilings and cases full of weapons and cultural artifacts and absolutely fantastic. We got rickshaws back, my driver asked me if I had had sex in Thailand, which was interesting, and we pretty much crashed right away. I'll need to write up today later, don't want to hold up the rickshaws.
