Saz and Dave's travels
We all slept a bit better in the second village and felt a bit more lively after our breakfast today. After breakfast we walked for about 20 minutes to a massive waterfall where Dave, Stu and Chris jumped into the pool at the bottom from a ledge about 10 metres off the ground. It was a big drop and Dave hurt his back a bit doing it but he's ok!
Later we walked on to a restaurant where we had lunch - some slimy noodles, rice and fruit and after that off to ride elephants! It was 2 to an elephant and me and Dave had quite a small one. We had to go up some steps to a platform and then step onto it where there was a seat and it was a bit scary as the elephant was moving. Our elephant was a bit naughty and would't go the right way at first, instead nicking some sugar cane off a girl nearby. When we got going it was really fun except the elephant kept blowing snot all over us, probably to try and cool down. The elephants were led to some drums with water in which they prompltly sucked up and squirted all over us, soaking us! We were absolutely filthy, covered in red dust, snot and water when we got off. We then fed the elephants with some bananas we had bought which was really cool as they wrapped their trunks around them and gently took them from your hand.
After the elephants we did some bamboo rafting, where dave stood up at the back to steer. He did really well around the rapids and we only crashed a couple of times!!
We then went back to Chiang Mai where we met up with Chris, Stu and Mickey for tea and drinks. We went for pizza and chips then cocktails for the girls however the bar looked a bit dodgy and may have had prostitutes working there!!
