What a savage last 4 days I've had. So much to say so will start from the beginning....

First we went from Bangkok to Chang Mai on a massive pimped out dubble decker bus. We were sitting at the very front and had loads of leg room. Good thing too coz the journey was 10 hours.

We got to Chang Mai at around 4 in the morning and went to our hotel/hostel place called BMP (Backpackers Meeting Place). Our room was ok but a come down from Bangkok. The place does have a swimming pool though so plus points there. I couldn't sleep when we got in so when it was light I walked around. Saw a few temples and got barings a bit.

Later in the morning me and Jonny went for a walk. Ended up in the scorching heat at midday so legged it back to BMP and had a nap. I like siestas. We had a meeting then to go to at 6 for the trek the next day. After that, we went to the night market with a dutch couple on their honey moon and a couple of an Irish guy and a kiwi girl. They are really nice and lots of fun. On the trek with us too. Had a few beers then and had an early night. Up for the trek in the morning then for 3 days. That was soo goog though it deserves its own post....
