Katie, Annie & Nikki's Travels
Hey there people! Well, yesterday we had the funniest day! We managed to drag ourselves away from the beach to go elephant trekking! It was really cool to see them so close up! Mine and Nins was called Phukey! I think we were a bit heavy for it though coz it kept stopping and the man was shouting 'no power, no power!!' Haha, one to many pies.... We also went to see Namuang waterfalls, crocodiles and a magic buddah garden- this was a bit bizarre, it was like Narnia with loads of stone figures of Buddah. They also took us to grandmother and grandfather rock- so called because...well you can look at the photos! We couldn't put the picture of the grandmother rock on coz it was a bit rude! At lunch time, they took us up to this restaurant in the mountains for a traditional Thai dinner, the views were amazing and so was the food! The best part of the day though had to be the offroading in the backless jeep! It was hilarious- i don't think we've ever been so scared in our lives! Sarah and Nin sat on the back clinging on for dear life! Hair pin bends and steep hills through the jungle, bugs flying at us here there and everywhere, bushes slapping in our faces :-/ !! It was worth it though as we couldn't stop laughing. We looked and smelt like the elephants bum by the time we'd finished. We arrived home and decided to go out for food coz it was Ab's birthday. We all got ready and decided to just get a taxi in to the town...we'd all managed to calm our hair down from the day and chill our beans a little-looking forward to having a nice night out.... However, the taxis here arn't like the ones at home at all! They are like little vans with no windows and you sit facing the other people in the van. Actually - the one we got into town had no back or windows, infact it was really just a bin mans truck in disguise i think... It was like a repeat of the whole jungle experience!
Anyways, we had a good night despite the hairy start! All the bars opened onto the beach and there was huge rugs and mini tables for people to sit on the floor at. There was also a guy doing tricks with fire. It was pretty cool to see and a good night was had by all!!
We are just chilling our beans on the beach today. Ab and Sarah leave for Bangkok tommorow and me Katie and Nin are off to Phuket - an island on the west side of Thailand....keep the messages coming...we'll try and update it more regularly!! xxx
