Today was definitely busier than yesterday. We had booked a Tuk Tuk to drive us around to see some of the Chiang Mai temples. It cost us about £4 and the driver took photos of us and waited very patiently and spoke fairy good English. It was a bargain. We went to three different Wats and took some awesome photos. Sadly we are struggling to remember the names of the Wats. Needless to say they were really nice, and at one you could buy tiny birds in a wicker cage to release for luck, so we had a go at that, for luck and also to get them out of their cages. After the temples the driver took us to a restaurant and it sold koa soy, which it turns out is a sort of soup with noodles and meat and fried noddles on top. It was hotter than hell fire. After this we went to look at some shops which were bizarre, selling all sorts of leather, including elephant leather!
After we'd hung out at the hotel for a by we decided to try and find the night Market. It was awesome. Full of all the knock of tat you can imagine. We ended up buying some bowls shapes like turtles and some lovely photograph prints and some cheap fairy lights. All for the house. Dennis had his first real go at haggling and we both really enjoyed it and generally got everything for a lot less than they were trying to get for stuff.
