So far we have found Chiang Mai to be a very relaxing city. It's actually a huge city but it's historical centre (where all the tourists hang out) is small and walkable. We did some of our mandatory housekeeping such as a load of washing and catching up on some e-mails and blog posts.
We then set out to explore the city a bit more. We stopped of at restaurant that offered falafal pita's and Luisa couldn't resist. The centre of the city is surrounded by a big moat and there are still areas where the wall is standing. Inside the centre there are lots of small alleyways dotted with restaurants and guesthouses. It was nice to take detours along these smaller roads to escape the noise and the traffic. Luisa had done her homework the night before on cooking classes and we ended up booking a course at the Thai Farm Cooking School. This would allow us to get into the countryside for a bit and learn how to make some of our new favourite dishes.
That night we headed back to the night market and had a bite to eat before walking around and looking at the stalls. We went back to our Israeli stronghold to watch some TV before hitting the hay.
