Today everybody was woken up at 5.30 looking refreshed after finally getting some sleep and settling in. We took buses to our first destination… Thai boxing! We met our boxing teachers and got suited up with bandages and gloves ready to fight. We learnt the basic kick, punches, knees and elbow hits. Everyone was tuckered out and sweaty after 2 hours of almost non-stop exercise. We then headed back to the hotel for a big breakfast of waffles, cereal and croissants and an optional fried rice. After a filling breakfast we got ready to head off to our next destination…. White water rafting! We got ourselves ready to raft. We slipped and slid all over the place and later arrived at some place. At the place we got fed curry, omelette and rice and a surprise cake for our birthday boy ED!!!! After our lunch we headed back to the hotel. We had a couple of hours to relax and get packed for tomorrow before we were off to the next event… Night markets! At the night market we got informed not to buy weapons or other naughty stuff, then we were free! We separated into groups and explored some of the market. There were shops from hats, to suits, to restaurants, to electronics, and much more. After everyone was happy at what they had bought, we headed off back to the hotel for a rest after a long day.

A note – we are about to head up to the village to build two houses, so we will be off line for two or three days. We will catch up then.
