We left to a solemn farewell from the guys at Diva guesthouse, I really do hate goodbyes!! On a local bus to Chiang Rai. Well for our £5 ticket we just about got the works. A seat so large it was like a lazy boy, even Sy's legs didn't reach the chair in front when stretched out at 90 degrees! Snacks & drinks were plentiful & an inhouse movie! The journey was only 3 hours or so. Was gutted after an hour of holding my bladder that indeed there was a sneaky...

Ok so a bit of a pre warning with this blog. I promise you I'm not turning into a full on Eco warrior hippie but what we saw, heard & experienced has opened up my mind to something I didn't know and I feel compelled to share. In previous travels I have seen, riden & bathed with elephants. They're amazing creatures & when you have an up close & personal experience you can see the emotion these creatures feel.

Sunday 4th November Today was a day we were both looking forward to and we took ages deciding which one we should go to but today is a day at cooking school!!

We drove for about an hour and a half towards a remote jungle village & the location for our "Jungle Flight". We met the team there & got kitted up in our har...

Friday 2nd November I had never been so grateful for the concept of activity day, rest day as today i needed it more than ever. i could barely move my arms to do simple tasks so we ate, drank, read, edited photos and generally just relaxed in the local area. We knew we had to be up mega early for tomorrows activity but wanted to check out the night bazaar. En route i stopped at a pharmacy and picked up some tiger rub and got that working on my arms. I was wo...
