What goes on tour...

Wow, it's been a while eh?

Where to begin? Pedro came up with another idea for a tour which this time was a visit to the hill tribe people. I didn't like the sound of it to be honest but after he made sucha good call on the elephant trek I decided to give him the benefit of the doubt.
We started of in the orchid farm witht the butterflys, same as last time only no kids with gravelly knees this time. Then we were back on a bus for hours, until we stopped to get fed at some terrible roadside diner. A thin gruel followed by some plain rice, if I recall. Anyway, it was back on the bus and on to somewhere else. To be quite honest, I can't remember the order in which we did things, except that we spent 7 of the 9 1/2 hours on a stupid bus, occasionally being herded off to gawp at the locals, take a few snaps and get back into our now warmed up mini bus. A lot like a certain chosen people of Isreal during the early half the last century, except we were allowed tro take pictures and there was no death camp. Though at times, I wouldn't have minded. Mainly because I am blonde haired and blue eyed, and know all the words to the German anthem.
We visited some hermits cave with a load of buddha statues in, which was pretty cool. We also went to some mountqain temple where we could look into Burma or some other identical South East Asian country. But mostly it was sitting on a bus, waiting for a half an hour of culture and trying to take max's mind of getting sick.
We took quite a few picture and if you saw them you'd think it was the best day out ever, but in fairness, it was entirely down to the quality of the company and nothing to do with the tour itself.
Right, another blog to follow, possibly after dinner
