Huean Pak De, Chiang Mai, Day 3

It's Christmas!
I didn't believe in Christmas miracles, until I saw Amy awake and very hyper at 6am. Amy, who I have been told on many occasions to not bother until at least 10, wakes me up and is very excited for the day ahead. It takes me a few more hours to finally wake up and again the beer from last night is making me feel rather ill.
Most of the day is spent doing what we did yesterday. We spend time ringing the family and listening to Christmas songs and again it is lovely to spend time relaxing and chilling out. Apart from a walk in the afternoon to get some food, we only leave the room to get our Christmas dinner.
The UnIrish pub is a delightful little place, and after a drink and a chat with a very talkative Australian who we met a few days ago, we head outside to our seats. Christmas hats are on, and everyone on our ten man table is as jovial and friendly as people should be on Christmas day (not telling people off for talking). The starter is soup, and it is one of the best I have ever tasted. The main is also lovely, with turkey, ham, roast potatoes, veg, and gravy (which is the best Christmas present we could ask for). Unfortunately there were no pigs and blankets or Yorkshire puddings (so don't worry Mum, your's is still better). Amy gets a vegetarian roll which would have probably fed everyone on our table it was so big, and as dessert rolls by we are both too full to get any. It is a lovely night and we are sat next to an Australian couple who are great to talk to. the conversation flows as well as the beer, and overall it is a great Christmas night.
After we leave, we stop off for a few mojitos in a bar, before going back to the room an watching a Christmas movie in bed. It has been an odd day, and one that we have been excited for and kind of dreading at the same time. As we go to sleep though, with bellies so full of food and alcohol that we can barely move, it doesn't feel too diīfferent after all!Read more
