Hi Guys,
(photos at flickr.com/photos/jilllucas)
Wow! My muscles are aching in places I did not know existed!! hahahaaha. I met the group that i'm going to be with for two weeks. There are 16 of us and everyone seems pretty cool. There are 2 other girls who are travelling by themselves, so it's nice to know i'm not alone! The first day was in Bangkok and we cycled around all the back streets and the old and new parts of the town. My balance seems to have got lost somewhere down the line as i almost came off my bike asbout a million times!! I have the grazes to prove it!! eeek!!! but we saw some cool people, one of them were working on a fire, making iron and copper bowls. If i thought i was hot, it was nothing to how they must feel working next to the blaze!!! We all pretty much melted into the ground at that point!! hahaha
Well, after we got over the shock of bum ache etc, we headed up to the hills for a three day hill tribe trek....hmmm.....hard work is not the right word!! The slopes and the steps and the falls and the mud and the vertical inclines (and declines!) was just so much hard work it was unbelieavable. I mean our guides were able to do this like it was just walking down the bloomin street, but honestly guys, after just 5 or 10 minutes of hiking, we all had to step to catch our breaths. and some of the places we had to manoeuver past, seemed like the most dangerous and scary places I've ever walked....!
The first night we all stayed in the same room, on a kind of bamboo hut thingy. Not the best night ive ever had!! and what a thunderstorm! we all thought the thing was going to collapse!! hahaaha.
The second night was more comfort and we all had a thai massage (not like the Chinese one, which almost killed me!) and a facial! hehehe.
and the last hike was the most difficult and challenging and my legs never want to do exercise again! hahaha. We're next off to to some more biking in Northern THailand before we head to Krabi and kayking!! woo-hooo!!
My internet connection is just about to run out so i'll say goodbye and hope you like the photos!
