Day 1
We started our day with elephant trek, about 1.5 hours drive from Chang Mai. Had lunch and continued walking in the jungle toward our camp. It was nice and easy day, AMAZING views!
We reached the camp, had a nice cold shower.
Had a great dinner cooked by Sun and lots of beers of course!
Day 2
This was the toughest day! We did around 10 KM, half was hiking up a mountain. No taxi, no tuktut :-(. I really thought I won’t make it. I was the last one in the group, and with every step felt every cigarette I ever smoked. I really should quit smoking and start getting in shape. Dispite all I DID IT! When we finally reached the village I felt so good about myself, and was so happy it is over.
In the evening, Ali was playing a guitar; we did some singing, and told some dirty jokes, here is the winner (By Ahmed):
How many positions there are in sex? 68! 69 is for cleaning the tools! – This one told with French accent after several beers made me laugh non stop.
Day 3
Another about 10 Km walking, but it was much easier. Did a bamboo rafting for the perfect end! It was awesome!!! (That how England people say Sababa).
We got back to Chang Mai around 05:00 pm. On the way I was sure once we reach the guest house I will just go to sleep. BUT NO! We all had very quick showers, went down to have a drink. Eventually had 3 bottles of whisky in the guest house, then went to a Rege bar to have another drink and then to Spicy to do some buggy!!! It was a great night; I don’t really know where I had the straights from but I danced like crazy (crazy Israeli woman, a?).
It was one of the BEST experinces I had for long time!
To be continued...
Be well!
P.S I am still in Chang Mai, I think I stay here for some time...
