Hiya everyone! Thank you for everyone entering the quiz and we shall announce the winner in a few days so there is still a chance to enter!
From Mae Hong Son we went to Pai for a couple of days. It is a lovely little town surround by mountains although slightly touristy. We foudn our first tin of baked beans and smash in a supermarket and we learnt how to boil eggs in our kettle so our diet is becoming a bit more varied!
We decided to do a trek to a waterfall in Pai and on the way we made two lovely doggy companions (called Bobby and Bobby - see picture) who followed us for most of the journey. We also ran into a lovely lady farmer who invited us into her home and showed us her paddy fields which was sweet. The scenery was great at the beggining of the rek (see picture) but soon the path became non existent and we had to start crossing rivers and fighting our way through bushes. As it started to rain and with another 2 hours to go we gave up!
We then went back to Chiang Mai in tiem for the
big King celebrations for his 60th anniversary as King. Parades of people walked down the streets and there were dangerous fireworks at the end which resulted in huge fireballs falling from the sky landing on people! Bits of firworks fell on our heads too but they were not on fire thankfully.
We did our last tesco shop (see picture Dad) this morning and now we are off to Chaing Rai.
We would like to say congratulations ot Scott for passing his uni exams! So have a well deserved Summer holiday.
We hope you like the pictures.
