Markets, Rest, Temples and a little guitar
The past few days have been pretty relaxed. Sunday we went to two markets, one day market selling everything under the sun, and one night market selling handicrafts. The night market was especially exciting because of the super cheap food!!! It seems like 10baht (30¢) is the standard charge for everything…noodles, omelets, banana shakes, bael fruit juice, potatoes.

Monday we didn’t do anything. Literally. Nothing.
Today we ventured out into the mountains near by to visit Wat Prathat Doi Suthep. We pushed our little 125CC motorbike to its limit on the way up, but it was worth it. The temple was overcrowded with tourists and locals selling “paintings”, but the guilded chedi was beautiful.

After the visit to Doi Suthep, we continued along the mountain road where we ended up at this beautiful overlook.
When we came back down the mountain, Nik purchased a new little guitar. This way he can continue playing and I can enjoy the strumming that is the perfect lullaby!!
