Hey everyone, sorry its been a while.
We took a sleeper train from bangkok to chaing mai, actually very comfortable. Got chatting to the couple opposite, she was from new york and he was from ireland and they met travelling in sydney 5 years ago. They were really nice.
When we got to chaing mai, we were picked up by a tuk tuk. The notice with our names on said HELENWAY and WILBOR. I was in stitches. in the afternoon we went to a handicraft place where they decorated plates with tiny pieces of eggshell. It takes forever. And we went to a place where they made silver jewellery.
We went on a trek in the mountains from sunday to tuesday. I found it very difficult because i am not fit enough and also i was terrified of falling off. Still the other people were really nice and the tour guide was wonderful. We stayed in his village on the second night. No electricity, just cabins made out of bamboo. We got to ride elephants and we went on bamboo rafts down a river, we all got completely soaked. It was awesome. On the third day i didn't do the trek i went on the back of a motorbike, with no helmet (sorry mum) down a mountain. I was scared at first but once i had my balance i really enjoyed it.
When we got back i felt slightly queezy and i was quite sick last night. Think it was the food coz one of the other guys from the trek was sick too. I am feeling better today though.
Tomorrow we fly back to bangkok, and then take another sleeper train south to an island called soh lanta, it looks gorgeous. I have just had a thai massage to soothe my aching muscles. It was lovely.
Thank you all for your messages, hope you are all well and i miss you all very much. Love Katie xxx
