We had an update appointment to see the doctor for Hannah\'s ongoing infections and so we travelled back to Kho Samui on the ferry in the morning. We were also due to leave for Singapore early the next morning so it seemed sensible to stay the night. We went out for an Italian meal for me birfday (my favorate food) and i endulged in a lovely large glass of wine..god i miss that stuff- it\'s really expensive here! had far too much pizza, pasta and tiramasu ...

This reminded us of koh Lanta in that it was away from the resorts and so the beach was practically empty- as were the bars restaraunts.

We looked out onto the street and sure enough most of the bars were empty. We had obviously been completely oblivious to it. About 300 people had gathered on the hil...

Again back dated...but we had a fantastic time in Chang Mai. Lovely place a managable size and lots of things to do...many of which we had been putting off until we sister had joined! We took a tour to an elephant farm where we saw a show (very humaine by the way for any animal lovers) and we rode on them Hannah actually did this balencing on it's neck! We also went Ox cart riding and saw some of the local tribes people...was very tempted to take some pictures f...
