Snake Farm and Monkey School

Today we walked to the Chaing Mai bus terminal (in a very roundabout way! But we got to see more of Thailand, a bonus, unfortunately with sore feet!) and caught a red bus for 30bt each ($2.50nz) to the snake farm. Was about 20 min drive and when we got there weren't many other tourists there. We were just in time to see the snake show which featured cobras, jumping snakes, water snakes and a python. Here is Tanya and I with a water snake around our neck, she was also brave enough to have a HUGE python put around hers (see bebo!). The boys were absolute girls, especially Geoff !! They wouldn't even touch the snakes, and looked like they were going to cry. hehe, maybe not quite that bad. Was a great experience, we had a hilerious commentator and 'the snake man' who picked on the boys because they were so scared. We then went to a Monkey Training School. The monkeys were all chained up and we felt quite sorry for them. We stayed and watched the show which was so great, they were doing great tricks and we got to have one on our knee. Has been raining for about an hour HARD today, Karl is back at hotel getting a massage and Geoff, Tanya and I are hanging out at internet cafe catching up on emails etc. Going to bar tonight to watch soccer match and have some drinks. Big day trekking tomorrow. xx
