Blog 20 I was really excited about discovering northern Thailand and it didn't disappoint. In Chiang mai we were still travelling with the Aussie girls and met up with Ross, the Canadian again who was with us in Vietnam which was lovely. Bicycle's out exploring the old city was a lovely first day in Chiang Mai.
