Getting ready to go ziplining on the Flight of the Gibbon course near Chiang Mai, which is basically Go Ape but in the jungle.
...and here we are mid-zipline, because Mel is getting worryingly good at this whole selfie-ing business.
This was an attempt to capture the sunset at Pai canyon, which was very beautiful, but it is so washed out by the smog that the camera can't get anything at all. Nice for us though!
Elephant! At the Elephant Nature Park, a lovely conservation park with very friendly animals. It is also a sanctuary for dogs, cats and water buffalo. Obviously.
Back in Chiang Mai, atop the old city walls. This was the last day of our tour, which was super fun and we were sad to be leaving, so Mel found this bit of castle to cheer me up. She is very thoughtful like that.
Our next little adventure, hiking up some hills in the jungle to meet local tribespeople. In 35 degree heat! Seemed like a good idea at the time.
Our second day of hiking, after sleeping in a village hut, led us to this beautiful little waterfall. It was very cold, which was great as we were ridiculously hot.
Third and final hike day took us to this temple cave. This part of Thailand was conquered by Burma in the 1700's, and when they found a cave in the middle of a pre-existing temple complex they couldn't understand why the cave wasn't full of Buddha images already, and duly filled it.
And that finally catches me up! On pictures anyway. Actual describing words to follow!
Happy travels friends :)
