On the road again...

Well, just under 1000 kilometers and 5 days later, we have sore bums. Ross and I just returned from a motorbike road trip that took us from Chiang Mai to Mae Chem to Mae La Noi to Pai and back to Chiang Mai.

Ross was the driver and I, the co-pilot. Our first few days before we left the city were definitely challenging to both of us. Ross had to listen to me remind him again and again that there's a corner up ahead and I had to hold on...well, to basically nothing and just trust his skills. Needless to say, this road trip was a success and by the end we were leaning from side to side with ease as we rounded corner after corner.

It seems there is no better way to see a country than on a bike. The hot, sticky airs clings to your body as you soar down a mountain, locals honk and wave as they drive past a sign of hello we believe, and any worries you may have just float away as you cruise through the countryside.

We have some great stories to share, but we'll just share some pictures first!
