Chiang Mai

Today we are in Chiang Mai, making our final preparations before we go to Chiang Dao for our week of trekking. Yesterday evening we caught the night sleeper train, and arrived at Chiang Mai at around noon. We arrived later than we were supposed to, as at one point our carriage became disconnected from the rest of the train.

When we had arrived safely here in Chiang Mai, we were driven to our accomodation. This turned out to be a girl guides' accomodation centre, with a swimming pool that apparently only the girls in the team can use.

Later on, some of the team are going to organise the guides for the trek (just to clarify, this is not the girl guides!), while others will be searching for tailors, with the possible aim of having a suit ready to pick up after we complete the trek.

We've probably said this before, but this WILL be the last time we can update the blog for quite a while. Promise.
