Pai

3 hours in a hot minibus and 762 bends later we arrived in Pai. A lovely small town North of Chiang Mai – a proper getaway. We rented out a Bamboo cottage and settled in for a fantastic few days in the sunshine. A day was spent looking at the town and finding out that hiring mopeds cost only 100 baht a day.. two pounds!The next Alex came up to see us. It was great having another person we knew from back home stay with us for a few days. A lot of fun was had on the mopeds. We headed out to some local waterfalls 8km away and spent the day sunbathing and jumping off the rocks into the pool below. We have a cracking photo of Zintl in her pink moped helmet climbing up the steep rocks, see facebook soon.
When we decided we'd had enough sun, we hopped back on to go and explore the surrounding roads of Pai. Zooming around we discovered helmets were annoying and didnt fit very well, in fact fell off if you went over 50kmph. Soooo after a bit of egging and a few races... we found some open roads and rather bravely/stupidly, in flip flops, t-shirt and shorts, no helmet we sped along and, Mother dont read this, managed to hit 100kmph!!!
One awesome thing about Pai was breakfast. Big's Little Cafe is a must if anyone is in the area. He whipped us up home made sausages (to die for), bacon, eggs and toast for a modest two pounds. Honestly the best sausages I have had. That might be influenced by the fact I havent had any sausages since we left over two months ago.
A great highlight of Pai was in bed with Alex (whey). We both decided to annoy her big time by spontaniously singing and meditating throughout the night. Much fun was had.
