But Katie did get some driving time in!!
The gas station:
Of course we saw elephants on the side of the road while motoring around... Just the usual sights:
Interesting little hay hut on the side of the road:
Flying down a back road: (For Colin <3)
We visited the Pai Hot Springs, which consisted of numerous tiered natural hot springs ranging from 33 degrees celcious to whatever temp water boils at...
The area was also under construction:
At the hottest of hotspring we were able to hard/ soft boil eggs, which we came prepared with since a Pai local told us about the egg boiling extravaganza ahead of time. Wooden egg baskets were provided at the spring... We (unaware of the baskets there) were expecting to drop the eggs into the boiling water and some how fish them out with sticks haha, the baskets made it much easier.
Eggs:
The springs to lounge in:
The next day we decided to search for a waterfall located right outside of Pai. We wondered the confusing network of small bumpy roads, driving through villages and rural but beautiful country roads. Somehow we stumbled upon this instead of the waterfall and Aidan decided to go for it; I was way to clostrophobic so I sat out and photographed the hillarious event. I was almost in tears from laughing so hard.
Inside the orb was a blast however, rolling, falling and running, feeling a lot like a hamster in a ball over water...
Eventually we made our way to the waterfall just before dark. Didn't take a picture because rather than it being a major waterfall, it was a little stream that ran down a small cliff... Slightly/ utterly disappointing and overrated. It was beautiful and there was a sign that explained the creation of this particular waterfall which was a great story. Oh well!
The highlight of the night however was this...
Bacon wrapped mushrooms served with a spicy green pepper sauce that was incredible:
Indian street food- kabab, dahl, naan, chicken masala:
