After enjoying so many days of trekking the hill area near Cave Lodge, We checked out and took the local bus to Pai. It was 3 hours, I think, but seemed like more. The funky old bus was really old and completely packed. Al was allowed to sit next to a monk (Al wanted to give me the seat but monk motioned "no" which I knew meant he can not sit next to a woman) so I stood along with many others. Lena had a nice hot seat on the motor cover next to the driver and poor Alex sat on the door step with the door open, hanging on for dear life each time we took one of the many hairpin turns. We were so glad to get to Pai and find a place to stay. Said goodbye to our new friends and hope to see them again in the USA or in Europe. We rented a motorcycle for a few days and hiked several trails to waterfalls. One in particular was very beautiful. I will attach a picture later. It was a 2-3 hour hike in and the same out...very tired and happy.
