Hi all!

Just a short blog today as we've not much time before we have to catch a bus, but we have got some new photos up on the flickr site -

We've been in Thailand just over a week and been having a great time - really different place from India but being a different country I guess you'd expect that!

We spent a couple of days in Bangkok, just enjoying being in a clean city and taking in the sights - A lot of the pictures are of the Grand Palace which was really impressive. Also very tempting to spend loads of money in Bangkok, there's so many markets selling all sorts of fake wares really cheaply!

After 3 days there we took a night bus up to the Chiang Mai in the north, where we've spent our days being very outdoorsy and active, spending a day rock climbing with some hilarious instructors and getting a good few knocks and scrapes!

The day after we went off on an organised trek through the hills to North of Chiang Mai, which was probably the highlight of our trip so far, met some really nice people, elephant trekking, climbing massive hills, jumping in waterfalls and playing sober charades for 3 hours round a campfire!

So time is running out as our bus leaves in 20 minutes which will take us to the Laos border, where we have to get a Visa - then its a 2 day slow boat ride down to Luang Prabang so will do a bigger update and put some of the trek photos then,

love to all,

Tom and Amy xx
