A wake up call before sun rise this morning! Although we shouldn't be tired because we were asleep by 8.30pm last night! We had to wake up the guy in reception for him to take us down to the bus station in his truck, there were people about but mainly monks collecting their dollar for the day. The bus was at 7am, we realised that it would get to Chisng Mai at 10am so we would have a three and half hour wait at the bus stop until we got the second bus down to Sukh...

I washed some clothes this morning before we went out, thin stuff so it would dry by the this evening. Scott went over to reception to get some wifi, I thought he got lost but no he had found another friend! The guy that owned the place, he was English; nice guy, he showed us some places worth visiting on the map.We were hoping that the motorbike rental shop would be open after sunset because we wanted to go to the canyon to watch the sunset but their opening...

That's the second time we have got wet now; in Chiang Rai the fire engine with the huge hose on the back of it was driving down the road just randomly squirting water into the air and we happened to...

Early wake up to go get our thai massage at the highly recommended women's correctional institution in the old city. We had visions of it being a prison block with guards and guns in every corner and the I mates who massage you wearing their black and white striped all in ones with their serial number on them. But we were most definitely wrong! - thank god. We looked more like convicted than they did, the clothes they gave us to put on were hilarious! It was ...

Scott took the bike back and we walked up to the bus station around 8.15am to make sure we had time for breakfast before we got on the bus. I spotted a little family run restaurant opposite the bus terminal yesterday so we went there, low and behold they only sold beef or pork noodle soup... It was just like PHO BO! Same same but different, it didn't hav as much onion! Breakfast cost £1.60 for the both of us so happy days!! We had time to spare to get to the bus...
