Hello everyone,

Well we have got to Chiang Mai safely after a doddle of a 20 hour journey all in all which included a coach a skytrain a metro and a sleeper train and a KFC meal in between, i am taking no chances (due to my stomach issues). The train was a nice novelty in our cool little second class sleeping bunks in which we got a suprisingly although a little bit bumpy sleep. Well Jac did, i didn't (due to my stomach issues).

Chaing Mai is ace and we feel for the first time that we are actually on holiday we have found a great little guesthouse, called SK House with a swimming pool all for 300 Baht. The town itself is so more laid back than Bangkok and because its on the backpacking route its really sociable. We have decide just to relax for a few days before going on a trek for three days in which we will ride elephants visit waterfalls and tribe villages, here there will be really amazing photo oppourtunities. That will have to be in a few days as it is not sensible to do it now (due to my stomach issues). (might I just add here that my tummy has been fine, Aarons just being weak!) Because we haven't really had much of a potter around, we'll try and have something interesting for you guys to look at in the next couple of days!

Lots of Love

Miles and Jones

Oh and we got sunburnt on our first day by the pool i think it was Denis' dodgy 'off the back of a wagon' factor 30 suncream but i didn't burn my feet Woo Hoo.
