Still in Chiang Mai

It gets a bit hot walking around all day so I have just popped into an internet cafe to cool down a bit. So yesterday we did the cooking class which was a lot of fun. I have learnt that I don't yet have a palet for Thai level spicy as I made a hot and sour (Tom Yum) soup and it was incredibly hot, WOW!!!! I also made fish cakes, Pad Thai, Penang Curry including actually making the Red Curry Paste to go in it, and a desert of Sticky rice with Mango. All soooooo very good but I was so incredbly fuf afterwards that i could barely move, but the good nws is I now have a recipe book with all those things in and I will be able to make them at home, yummmo!!!!!
After the cooking it was time to be pampered, so off we all went to get a Thai Massage. It was amazing 1 hour of massage and then a separate head and neck massage for 30 minutes and then a herbal steam compress for another 30 minutes, followed by a manicure and pedicure and I am a new person wandering aroud Chiang Mai :)
So today we had the most relaxing morning, a late sleep in followed by a very relaxing breakfast that took over an hour for all 6 of us to be served!!! :) Thai Time :)
Then I meandered off on my own as the others were of to do more shopping, so I headed into the old town through the southern gate and have been wandering around ever since, don't have to be back at the hotel before 5 to catch the train to Bangkok, so there is still plenty of time for me to go exploring, so that is what I shall do.
