Chang Mai

First day in Chang Mai today. This morning we finally organised our Vietnam visas (just in time) which turned out to be a lot easier than I had anticipated. I booked a cooking class for the day tomorrow and Dean booked an overnight trek for himself, which leaves tomorrow morning. I am unable to do a trek due to my feet issues and Dean cannot do the cooking class as we do not have enough time and are leaving Chang Mai for Bangkok on the evening of the 6th. The National Museum was the first stop for today which was interesting until Dean and I discovered we were so hungry that we felt ill. Following a fabulous lunch of Pork curry, rice and another dish similar to a laksa, Dean and I have been wandering around the city and will continue to do so until this evening when we will head to the night bazaar for dinner and the market. Chang Mai is considerably more relaxed than Bangkok due to the differing traffic conditions and size among other things. Tuk tuks are the same as those within Bangkok yet Taxis look like comby vans verging on utes with seats in the tray. Its is cooler temperature wise here in comparison to Bangkok, we were freezing last night and had to use a blanket, which is a first for the trip so far...
