Finally after a good nights sleep I awoke to a crisp morning. I had been used to hot and humid, but now it is cool and dry. Chiang Mai is a cleaner city than the others I have visited and much more relaxed. I head across the street to get a mixed fruit smoothie with no ice – all for 30bhat -$1USD and even had a banana nut muffin.  Where am I?

Next I grabbed my Nikon and began a self guided walking tour of the local temples. I’ll provide those pics and more info once I can compile it all.

I did manage to book my Laos trip down the Mekong in a few days from now, something I had been wanting to do for a while. We’ll see how that adventure goes.

After a bit of light shopping, drop off some laundry I headed back to my room to rest a bit.  After a short nap, I went out for some pasta. Feeling a bit tired, I decided to catch up on some sleep and call it an early night. That’s it. Pretty easy day.
