Trekking Day 3, 4 & 5- Chiang Mai

Day three we woke again to the very loud roosters, but then also by the many dogs fighting, pigs scoffing, kids playing and tea boiling from fire in hut. Today we had to say goodbye to the other 4 trekkers and guide we became very close to and met our new guide Khan. We ate brekkie watching a mother nit-pick her daughters hair like a monkey which was different, but we also got to play more with the kids here, they were a little naughty but so sweet. From now on it was only Em and I. The day was full of trekking, stopped for lunch and then arrived at village for night quite early so had a quick nap... to be woken by the most repulsive man we have ever met...
We joined another trek group that night, 6 boys, we hated the two Irish from getgo. First thing Carl says to me is how hard their trek was and that there was no way Em and I could have handled what they did... we did the same trek! But he wouldnt hear it, the 3 girls in their group all dropped out, he called one the 'f**in princess', we felt for her! He also called his guide a 'f**in animal', made the locals go get more beer (because he is Irish, he needs lots of beer!), says he constantly offends because he is Irish, dominated every conversation about himself, and kept trying to talk to me and Em, eewwww, he was absolutely repulsive!!!
Besides this the night was really good, the kids from a school put on a show for us, singing and dancing, and we stayed up talking to the rest of their group (trying to block out Carl). Next day we were happy to be back on our own! Trekking most of day to a village with a waterfall, went to swim and Em and I had early night.
Day five woke for another trek down to the river Dang. Went whitewater rafting- so much fun!!! Then bamboo rafting which was nice and relaxing, before getting ute back to city in evening. Overall, a FANTASTIC experience. Very challenging at times, but so rewarding and so amazing to see how these tribes live out in the mountains, so incredibly different to how we live in Oz. Im now tired just writing it all up!!! SO much more to say, but gets boring, so thats the basics... we heading back to Bangkok tonight then to India on Wednesday, hope all well, xoxoxoxoxoxox
