Day 2 Trekking Today we were up at 7am but to be honest I had not slept at all as the night had been absolutely freezing and I was unable to get warm. For breakfast we were given scrambled eggs, 3 pieces of toast, butter, jam and coffee. Once again for what we had paid this was quite decent. It turned out all the other people on the tour had only booked the two day hiking and so we would be walking to the elephant farm where they would stay and we would separa...

For lunch again today I went for the spicy pork and pig blood soup accompanied with green salad - at about...

Today I sleapt in as I was worried the stomach bug/food poisoning I had last night might have still been in my system. I know I shouldn't have but for lunch I tried a pork and pork blood spicy noodle soup with green salad and I must say wow absolutely amazing - really felt content after eating it. Next I went to suss out the price of a 3 day trek into jungle and to stay with Hill tribes. I managed to find a place that would do it for a really good price provide...
