Sukhothai it to me!

---

Well, it has been a few days since we last posted an update and we are actually now in Chiang Mai (arrived yesterday afternoon).

We took the local bus from Ayatthaya to Sukhothai on Sunday (I think), arriving around dinner time. That left us with a FULL day on Monday to explore the ruins in Sukhothai historical national park. We posted some pictures of the ruins below. We rented bikes for the day to get around as the place was huge and had a nice little tour around. at the first ruin we were accosted by schoolgirls wanting to know our names, ages, where we were from, and if they could take our pictures. The first few times it was cute.... and Andrew felt like a bit of a big shot but it got old really really fast.
Overall, nothing to do in Sukhothai - very devoid of travellers. The thing to do is the historical park, that is it. But out guest out was really nice - we had our own little bungalow - with a good restaurant (mmmmm foood).

The bus from Sukhotai to Chiang Mai was thankfully very empty so we could stretch out and have a little nap. We are planning on spending a few days in Chiang Mai - cooking classes, temples, day trips, and possibly trekking! we will let you know! Then it is off to Laos - Luang Prabang (3 days travel via slow boat down the Mekong).
