Day 9

       
         
Day 9: 7th January 2009,  Mattayum Bamkaen Wittaya School (Kaeng Khrow) - Phu Wiang (60km) - Distance so far 476km "The Fab Three"
         
         

Woke at 6am. The tent worked out pretty well...Slightly damp from the build up of condensation from the night but didnt really care as there were no mosquito bites. We packed up our gear and to our delight were offered to have a full Thai/Chinese style breakfast (eggs,fruit,rice puff pastry and tea/coffee) at 7am with Phairin (Director of the School). After this, we waited for the school assembly. Then we were summoned by Phairin to the assembly hall packed with 400 kneeling school kids....Phairin spoke to the kids, introducing us in terms of why we were here and what we were doing.......Then it was formal introduction time...We spoke to the assembly, thanking our kind host/hostess and briefly explained our travel intentions. After this we rocked the house with "Twist and Shout" to a huge applause.....We then took loads of pictures with the students and staff. Very humbling morning and felt very proud to have had such an experience. Hit the road with our tails high and put down what felt like an effortless 60km to our next destination....Phu Wiang.
