Date: 21st May 2011 Place: Chiang Mai Weather: sunny J Aimee went to an Elephant camp today so since she had to get up early we decided to go with her. Apparently though when my alarm went off I just turned it off and went back to sleep. I must have been pretty tired that night because I also sat up in the middle of the night, turned on the TV and then turned over to go back to sleep.

I was wearing the same shorts since I didn't want to get both pairs super muddy, but mine were soaked ...

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.
