We awoke and made our way to the breakfast buffet at the Chiang Mai Plaza Hotel. A lovely restaurant and nice hotel, only let down by the cold fried eggs served at breakfast and the rude Executive Chef that didn't believe the eggs were cold, however wouldn't touch it to find out, geez we can be a bunch of wringers when we want to be :) First world problems indeed :)
After breakfast we headed to the post office to post our 2 bikes down to Udon Thani where they will live until we return for our next adventure. From the post office we called the Chiang Mai Gems gallery and requested a pickup from the Post Office to take us to look around the biggest jewellery store in the world!
Unfortunately the ring Chris wanted couldn't be resized to fit his large fingers and as this was our last day in Chiang Mai, there was not time to have a new one made for me. That said we got our Jewellery cleaned and polished free of charge and made use of the free return transport to the Night Bazaar. :)
When we arrive back at the Night Bazaar road just around the corner from the hotel, we decided to stop for lunch at an English Pub just off the main road about 30mtrs walk from the Night Market street. There we have some lovely food and ended up chatting to three wonderful people who invited us to sit at their table. Terry, Gill and Gerry are in Chiang Mai on business and over a few drinks we spent the next 8hrs chatting and getting to know them. It was so great to meet these three individuals, as with many of the other folks we have met along the way, we can't help but think we met for a reason. We hope to meet again soon and wish you all the best in your travels. :)
Just after the sun went down we decided to head back to the Hotel and David had unfortunately come down with what ended up being diagnosed as a Bacterial Infection due to forgetting to wash his hands between Breakfast and Lunch that day after some finger lickin good Buffalo Chicken Wings at the Dukes Restaurant in Chiang Mai. David hit the sack and Chris ventured back out to the night market to peruse their wares (And returned to the hotel with two massive bags of stuff in hand, little did David know he would be sharing this in his baggage on the return trip. hehe)
All in all a very good day and again lovely to meet the folks we have met along the way and shared some wonderful stories with.
