After breakfast we headed out and over a windy road to get to a waterfall and bear sanctuary. Very cute black bears and a very blue waterfall. Mum was very excited about getting a swim and it was a lovely cool morning but not too cool that we didnt appreciate getting in the water. The only strange thing was being unable to keep your feet still for too long as there were little fish nibbling your feet. I think they were probably those pedicure fish from the Overga...

We woke up this morning for a quick breakfast before heading for a boat to take us down the river. I dont know what i was expecting for this 2day trip but it wasnt what we got. We basically had a boat that if public usually has a couple of hundred passangers on it (not all sitting) to ourselves. We moved at a breezy speed, keeping us cool and we sat chatting, relaxing, reading, interacting with the boat family's children, eating a huge lunch and dozing for two ...

It had the usual story pictures painted on the inner walls but with a few added extras. Batman, superman, a transformer, Nero from The Matrix and Kung Fu Panda all on a futuristic space background. A bit different. We crossed the border on a little boat and stopped in a...

Silly thing to do when we had chosen to do a cooking course that day :-/ We were taken to the local market to see the different fruit and vegetables including several kinds of aubergine, angel, elephant ear and s***aki mushrooms, choose out a bucket fish and lots of nuts and spices. We walked to ...

Today we woke up on time and had breakfast in the hotel. We met the two sisters from New Zealand from our group, Lisa and Jen. There was lots for breakfast including green Thai custard and a green fruit that none of us could identify. A nice lady told us it was guava and showed us the juice version too. We met the group and our local guide and walked to the river to jump on a boat. At least this one waited long enough for us to get in :) A really interesting tour...
