Hellooooooooooooo!!
Well it has been a ridiculously long time since I have written on the blog, and for that I am so sorry. IT is really easy to get out of the routine of writing and we hve ben so busy here in the past month that it has flown by and i didnt write once! SO SAD! Anyways we has a great time in May as most of it was spent with two friends from home, ZIggy and Kate.
Ziggy arrived an we went straight up north in thailand to Chaing Mai, and did a hill tribe trek. It was amazing. WE walked about 30 kms in 3 days and spent two nights with the hill tribes in their huts. SO COOL!!! We were on the trip with 4 other Canadians and we had an absolute blast!! After Cahing Mai, we headed back to Bangkok to wait for Kate to Arrive and then headed back sown south the the beautiful islands and beaches of Thailan to experience the Full Mon party in all its'glory one more time. IT was great and the four of us dressed up and looked ridiculous, only pictures can do us justice!!
After The full Moon we headed over to the west coast and went to Koh Phi Phi AKA PAradise. WIt is probably the nicest place that I have ever been to before. We stayed in a really nice place with A/c and a pool and it was great. Koh Phi Phi is where the tsunami hit really hard and you can still see the devesttaion from it although they are working really hard to build it back up to how it once was. That being said it is still un believably beautiful. Koh Phi Phi DOn is the main Island and it is wehre all of the resorts are, however a short boat ride away is Koh Phi Phi Lay, the place where "The Beach"with leonardo DiCaprio was filmed. AMAZING!!! such a nice beach, but a little sad as there was hundreds of tourists there, nothing l ike in the movie!
After Phi Phi TOm and I said bye to Kate and Ziggy as they were heading back to Canada to grauate or move to germany to work.!! GOOD LUCK LOVES!
We headed back into Cambodia but this time made our way to Siem Reap, the town that is the heart and centre of the Angkor Temples... known as the 8th wnders of the world. and they really are wonders... completely amazing. '
Before we headed to the temples we went to the floating village for the day. There is an entire community that lives on the Tolne Sap lake, the biggest lake in Cambodia, and they are all fish farmers and extremely poor. IT was really amazing to go and se how they live and stuff. Tom and I bought 40 notebooks and 40 pencils and donated them to the kids at two different schools... it was unreal, such and amazing experience.
Yesterday, we spend 6 horus (5am-11am) exploring the main temples and they were incredible. I snapped many beautiful pictures although today I lost my camera and am SOO Upset that I won't have any first hand photos of the whole day. I strongly suggest that EVERYONE go to Siem Reap... the temples and ruins are unreal and it is facinating to learn about the history of the Angkor empire as they were VERY posweful and ruled over most of thialand and vietnam and cambodia back in the day.
Anyways thats about it for now, Tom and I head of to Vietnam tomorrow and I promice that we (I) will be better at updating the blog from n ow on. xoxox
