Thailand - Again!

How we wish we could have put this little cutie in our pocket! She cooked us some delicious dumplings out of her boat at the floating market in Bangkok.

Making friends with a 20 kg python at the floating market. Sorry Rebekah. I hope i didn't just induce early labour!

At the Tiger Temple outside of Bangkok. The tigers live with the monks and are used to people and human contact.

Just a big pussy cat!

This little guy was only 5 months old and was quite frisky and playful.

The little guy keeping cool!

I love this guys stripes!

At a wat (temple) in Chiang Mai in Northern Thailand.

Isn't she a cutie in her traditional dress?!

A good place to chill out when you're a hungry gecko!

Here we are back in Thailand for the third time on this trip alone! What can we say? We love this place! We spent the first two weeks shopping up a storm in Bangkok and have about 50 kgs of stuff stored there waiting to take home. I hope Malaysia airlines aren't too strict! After Bangkok we decided to come up to Chiang Mai in the North which is where we are now. The monsoon seems to be lingering on this year and it's been pretty wet but hopefully nature will cooperate and the skies will clear up by the time we head down South to the beaches. Well, we're off to go explore on our scooter. It's definitely not Enzo but it's still fun!

India - A Final Montage!

This monkey didn't like us much. After we took this photo and got a little closer he reared up and gave us both a bit of a fright!

Woman work hard in India. Not only is this woman carrying a super heavy load but she's crossing one of the scariest bridges we've ever encountered. It's full of loose boards, sections of missing railing, snapped cables and, to top it off, the Parvati river is absolutely raging below.

We ran into roads like this everywhere we went in the state of Himichal Pradesh. It's no wonder we couldn't make it up to Leh!

My view from Enzo. I miss you buddy.

An old man with his granddaughter pausing looking out over the valley.

I love this shot taken one day while we were out and about exploring.

This is the village of Manikaram in the Parvati Valley. It's a very holy place and lots of pilgrims make their way here to bathe in the hot spring seen below.

We spent 4 days in the picturesque village of Grahan. It's a 4 hour hike up from Kasol and we were lucky enough to time our visit with their annual festival. Culturally speaking this was an absolute highlight of our trip.

A field of marijuana right outside our room in Grahan. The best charras and hash in the world comes from this area.

The view from our room in the beautiful village of Bahu. It reminded me so much of BC.

Stopping to enjoy the view on our last day with Enzo. We rode for 12 hours this day, our longest day ever!

This is what we ran into a couple of hours down the road from where the last photo was taken. A flash flood caused a huge section of road to disappear, taking a bus tumbling down with it. Luckily we found a detour but you can see why we ended up riding for 12 hours this day!

A dog in Delhi. Just one more dog i wanted to bring home with me!

Delhi busy getting ready for the Commonwealth Games.

India gave us a great send off on our last night by celebrating the birth of Krishna, just one of the many Hindu gods. There was a huge procession with floats and marching bands all in full power Indian fashion! Do you think all those cables and wires are a disaster waiting to happen?!
