Adventure over? ... not quite!

As my plane was lifting off the ground from Don Muang International airport in Bangkok, I thought that the adventure was finally over (especially as I got on the plane 10 minutes before takeoff).

Well, I was wrong...

The flight home was extremely long and uneventfull. The plane landed at JFK airport on time at 9:00PM wednesday night. So far so good, or so I thought...

By the time I boarded off the plane, I came head into a really long line at customs. This took 1.5hrs to get through.

I managed to make my way to the Port Authority bus station in Manhattan 10 minutes before my bus was heading off; only to find that the bus was full and I was going to have to wait until 8:30AM the next morning.

So here I was; 12:30am; exhausted (over 30hrs without sleep by this point); and needing to kill 8hrs in Manhattan (of all places). Not to mention staying awake too!

So I ended up wandering around downtown New York City for over 7 hours, in the middle of the night. The city itself looked quite cool. There's something soothing at seeing Time Square deserted at 3:00AM. I even found a tour guide (or he found me) to keep me awake for a couple hours, I paid him 7$ for his efforts.

So I managed to catch the bus at 8:30AM, and made it to Montreal by 5:30PM. A little late, a hell of a lot tired, but home in one piece...
