Chiang Mai - Trek and Zip Wiring

The 2 day trek up the mountain was amazing. Me and Sarah were initially in a group with 3 French girls and 3 German guys, who all spoke very good English and we got on with them well. The trek only involved a few hours of walking each day (luckily!) but everyone was still knackered because of the heat! Then we did some elephant riding and saw/swam in a few waterfalls, one of which was 10m away from our hut which we stayed in overnight, playing drinking games around a camp fire etc.

The next morning we were separated from the rest of our group as they were doing a 3 day trek, and we went off with our guide to do another few hours walking. After lunch we were then put in a group with 4 guys (3 English and 1 Canadian) to do bamboo rafting. That was awesome and involved a lot of falling/pushing into the dirty river!

We had our first proper night out in Thailand last night with the 4 guys from the bamboo rafting, which meant our 6 o clock start this morning for zip wiring in a jungle was not great! The zip wiring itself was fun, although not quite high or fast enough for me, and we're off to Laos tonight on an overnight (14 hour) minibus journey! We're hoping to do tubing over the next few days and then move on to Pattaya for some beaches.
