Last night I barely got any sleep as the guy next to me was snoring so loud the foundations of the building were shaking, so I had myself a nice sleep in. Around lunchtime I went for a walk to the bus station to suss out how much a bus to Pai would be and get an idea of what I might do when I get back from trek. The rest of the afternoon I spent wondering around markets buying fruit and trying every imaginable dried fruit in the fruit market. From pickled peach...

Today Matt and I went and booked a 3 day jungle trek for Saturday - we got a really good price on it so am pumped about that. Next we headed off to the second hand stores to pick up cheap jackets as apparently it gets freezing in the jungle at night and a pair of sandals as there would be no way my flip flops would be upto the challenge of jungle trekking.

Checkout was at 12pm so I sleapt in and then got organized, I went to the fitness centre and then spent the rest of the afternoon in the pool and sun baking. Later in the afternoon I walked to supermarket and picked up supplies and then made my way to train station. Unfortunately my designated carriage was full so I mad...
