Last night we headed from Bangkok to Chiang Mai via an overnight train. The ride was amazing. Contiki had a private car. The long journey gave us a chance to play some games and get to know each other more. At night our tables and chairs turned into the most comfortable beds! Laura and I played rock, paper, scissors and I won the bottom bunk with the window.

I woke up before the sun and was able to see the sunrise over the beautiful Thai countryside. It was very euphoric as I listened to my ipod and watched the hills roll by. I wouldn’t trade that experience for anything in the world.
