We had SO much fun yesterday! Craig and Marion hired a couple of scooters and we had a BALL. I'm too hesitant to deal with Thailand traffic so I pillioned behind Craig. That's what yesterday's clip was about. We had to change scooters shortly after we started as ours was too weak to handle us both. The helmets were not exactly the standard I'm used to, and we rode in just light pants and t-shirts which I'd NEVER do in Melbourne. We could actually talk to each other rather than yell too which was awesome. We had far, far too much fun. Went up to see a huge Wat, then coasted down the entire 7k's back down the hill with the engine off as we had almost no fuel. Evil, evil fun!!! We then went to a shop that sells handmade Hill Tribe stuff, all proceeds going back to the Tribes, gives them alternatives to growing opium and logging. SO many beautiful things there! OMG! I restricted myself to a Hmong bag and a note book, and got a book about Thai stamps for dad who loves stamps :) Then we eventually found a celedon pottery place which was AWESOME. I could have spent vast fortunes in there very easily but I just don't have the room in my bag. I did get a couple small cute things. Today is our last day in Chiang Mai, we leave at lunch time. I SO don't want to.

Ok, better get going. Power is getting cut off here shortly. And have to pack. I'm going to really miss Chiang Mai.
