Putt Putt-ing around

 Hi all

 Been pretty busy around Pai in the last couple of days. Yesterday was pretty wet (it is the end of the rainy season !). So we caught up with some admin - photo archiving, bill paying etc. Once the weather had cleared we went and hired a couple of mopeds for 24 hours for the princely of 100 BT each (that's just over two quid in English!). I hadn't been on one for 25 years so had a little refresher and off we went with a little spin around the outskirts of Pai. Next stop was to a little spa place that had an offer on to have your feet 'cleaned' by these little fish, which was extremely tickly at first, but you soon got into it. Dean recovered with a Chang or two......... (but secretly I think he quite enjoyed it!)

Today we hit the roads early to avoid the worst of the heat. As you can see Dean was not quite James Dean, but we did have fun whizzing around the countryside. Pai has very few cars, but loads of people have mopeds so its much safer than other places where these things are for hire (ehh Freddie Beech!!). So we spent the best part of the day visiting Wats, Waterfalls & a Canyon as you can see below. No mishaps unless you count the fact that Dean is as red as a beetroot as he has burnt his legs, neck & head (how?). Tonight we paid for our day in the beautiful sunshine with a massive thunderstorm . Its pretty spectacular, but we have to take the bikes back shortly & the shop is the other end of town.........
 If you don't hear from us tomorrow we have probably been washed away....
Wish us luck
Thanks for looking
Sara

Could you bring some of those little fish back for me? It looks much easier than a pumice in the bath!!
