Hi everyone!

The cooking course was really good on saturday, we made about 5 dishes each including thai green curry and sweet and sour chicken! We also got to eat it all at the end, that was the best bit!

Yesterday morning we set off at 9am for our trek in the jungle (Sobwin I think the area was called). We travelled about 1 and a half hours to get there and started off with an elephant ride, feeding them bamboo sticks and bananas on the we around! Great fun except it rained all the way!! Then came the trek..still raining..off we went (in a group of 12) for a 3 hour trek in the jungle. As the area has had so much rain and flooding lately it was REALLY muddy and slippery! I managed to fall over in the mud twice (I wasn't the only one who fell!), and then fall into the river when we were crossing it on a piece of bamboo!!! I could still see the funny side, untill we got back to the camp where we were staying..I was on my way down to the river to wash (very basic camp) and slipped in the mud.. landing on my nice clean towel!! Anyway it was great fun, met some really nice people who we'll hopefully meet up with again along the way.
