This next place we moved onto after Chiang Rai was Lampang, the reason for coming here was to visit an Elephant Conservation Centre, just outside of town. Lampang is not very touristy and when we first got here we were the only western people we saw for hours. Was weird being the minority and people staring at us all the time, Linz felt like a celebrity, but i kinda felt i just had food on me face or something.

So the first entry on our journals (well apart from linz's little bit on my trip to Ipswich, Doh!). We arrived safe and sound after not too bad a flight. Was actually quite impressed with Quantas (dad stop doing Rainman impersonation) Airlines, as service with very good and grub pretty tasty. First couple of days have been a bit of a blur as we are a little jet lagged, although we have managed to fit in a few things already. Had a tour booked for today and th...
