718 steps to a temple

It rained most of the morning so we chilled in the room a little restless having not done or achieved much in the last couple of days...
At about 12pm the rain finally stopped and feeling better all the time, we headed back to the local bakers for lunch. Charly still recovering had a, no you guess… whilst I had a yummy NE Thai soup with pork, similar to Tom Yum but called Tom Set.
Afterwards, we went to the market and then headed up the 718 steps to the temple and amazing views.

In fact, it was 718 steps after 10 minutes of steep hills. Absolutely exhausting especially as we weren’t still feeling a 100%, but we took our time and eventually made it. Well done Charly! We took our time looking around at the amazing temple and beautiful views and on the way back took pictures of the many different types of caterpillar and insects we saw.

In the evening we went out with a nice Swiss couple for a couple of drinks before finding the most expensive local place to eat in Thailand as all the other were closed but nevertheless still had a great time.

P.S. Happy birthday Nan!! xx
