Hi Guys! Kate here!

Well we've just got back from our 8 day hill tribe trek!!!! What a way to start the travelling experience! We're feeling a bit exhausted and ache A LOT at the moment after walking in the jungle up and down massive hills for 10 miles!!!We've experienced it all and have some amazing photos!

We set off from the hotel on Tuesday and travelled in two trucks to the north of Chiang Mai, on the way we stopped at an amazing waterfall and had a little dip!

As we began the first leg of the trek later on that day the monsoon rain began!! (just our luck!!!) we found ourselves walking through the jungle sliding down muddy hills and looking out for leeches, and after realising that my raincoat wasn't so rain proof i managed to slide down a hill and crash into a tree! From then on we experienced snakes, more leeches, muddy hills, wet clothes, massive spiders, a lot of sweating and a number of other unpleasant experiences!!

The tribal trek has been amazing overall though and we have been elephant riding and today went bamboo river rafting which was an experience!

We're off on another sleeper train tomorrow night back to Bangkok where we are flying straight to Ko Samui for a bit of relaxation!! We have booked a beach bungalow for the week before we fly to Oz so i think we're all looking forward to a little rest!

We'll try and update you all again soon!

Take canre and love you lots
Kate, Katie and Becki
