Date: 19th May 2011 Place: Chiang Mai Weather: probably half raining half sunny but I cant actually remember. After getting in at 5am we didn't get up until we heard a knock at the door from Carmen saying it was 1.30pm. Thankfully today was just a chill day anyway and we weren't doing anything until 4pm. We sat in reception for most of the day; I took my laptop down and everyone did a bit of sorting out. After having some breakfast I went in the pool an...

Date: 18th May 2011 Place: Chiang Mai Weather: Raining again but not as bad I woke up nice and early ready to tackle the day ahead. Lots of coffee was needed first though and 5 cups were drank.

Date: 17th May 2011 Place: Chiang Mai Weather: Raining!!! Waking up early is never fun, but it makes it extra hard work after only around 3 hours sleep.

Date: 15th May 2011 Place: On another bus Weather: again…I was on a bus Well I think I got some sleep because I kept noticing the songs had changed on my ipod. The bus arrived in Bangkok at around 5am and even before we stepped off we were bombarded with taxi drivers saying 'where you go?!'.
