Yesterday was one of the two best days we have ever had in our respective lives. It ranks right up there with, if not higher than, the day we saw and cuddled our first ever pandas in Chengdu, China two years ago.
We went on a full day trek with elephants into the jungles of Northern Thailand, about an hour's drive south of the Burmese border.
How amazingly lucky and privileged we indeed are. We often wonder what we, two simple guys from Africa, have done to deserve all this abundance of undeserved blessings.
I am trying to post photos of this too, but the internet connection this far up north in Thailand is quite slow and it keeps throwing me off. Luckily I did manage to get the tiger photos done today. Will keep on trying, though .....
Today we are taking it slow, exploring the provincial capital of Chiang Mai, Thailand's second largest city. It is a beautiful, warm place with stunning food and warm, friendly people.
How strange it is to be in a place with so many Westerners again - and in a place with so few people!!!
