SOOOO... there aren't any more Canadians on the tour with us. But John and i have made friends with 2 Bristish girls that came here together... Emma and caroline, and a British guy that came here himself and is a total laugh, Alex. our tour guide loves making fun of us but he knows his stuff and I wouldn't want anybody else. We left the crazy sketchiness of Bangkok on Monday and went frist to Kanchanaburi. We were staying in the cutest river houses on the river Kwai. I'll post the video as sson as we can get the laptop hooked up to the net. There's not a lot of wireless connection here. We toured around all day and went to a couple bars. The food here is amazing. You have to try everything even if you don't know what it is. I had a spicy papaya salad and almost died it was so hot.
The second day in Kanchanaburi was the most amazing day ever. We got up at like 6:30 and took the hour and a half bus ride to the Ewaran waterfalls. We spent a good part of the day hiking up the 2100 feet to get to the top. Most of the group went..... John, the British folk and I decided we would do more swiming and less hiking and jumped in. The waterfall wasn't just one waterfall. It was a series of 7 major waterfall all going up the side of a mountain. We swam in the 3rd and 5th teirs and it was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. Monkeys were around and these little fish kept nibbling at our feet. They scared all of us and to keep them away from us we couldn't stop swimming , so it tired us out after a while. After the morning of waterfalls we went to the Tiger Temple, where they have real wild tigers that they have taken out of thewild because of injury or something and then tamed. So we all got pictures of us petting the tigers.
I can't wait to post the photos. After the Tigers and wild animals on this sort of farm thing John, Alex and I went kayaking on the river Kwai. I beat the guys with my mad kayaking skills. It was really beautiful and we pretty much pulled right into our guest house on the river. Awesome. Post more later! Wishing you were here!!
