Hashing and Cooking

Well, the hashing got underway and Bob decided to be brave and do a reasonably long run, only to find it was longer than anticipated and he ended up on a 17k trek up two mountains!! To make matters worse, he then fell off the coach (ALT girls will know he has a thing about coaches!!!) and hit his elbow badly!! Still, it didn't stop him sinking a few beers and consuming large amounts of food at the post hash shindig. Sunday's hash was a more leisurely affair with a 10k run through forests and rivers and even a bull to negotiate (fortunately tethered but blocking a narrow path which was the trail!!) After this he felt he needed some pampering so went for a Thai massage, which turned out to be a bit more aggressive than he had hoped!! Pummelled and pulled he was more exhausted than before he went!!

Jan and Sue started out with good intentions of finding something cultural to do, but ended up by the pool reading, swimming, eating and drinking!!! Well, when happy hour is called what can a girl do?? They made up for it on Sunday with the Thai Cookery Class which was excellent. Five dishes were cooked and consumed and they rolled back to the hotel exhausted and stuffed!!

We all met up at The Pub for a last beer and farewell to the other hashers. Next stop is Hong Kong - something of a contrast to the slowish pace of Chiang Mai, but once again, more to follow ....!
