Chiang Mai - Flight of the Gibbon

Today we did the Flight of the Gibbon canopy zip-line tour, one of those fancy expensive tourist day trip things that we never ever do. I think it was something like 18 segments of zip-line covering about a kilometer. It was slightly terrifying at first, but also a blast. Not surprisingly, it had virtually no educational value whatsoever, but it was a good time and our guide was funny. "Don't worry, it's very safe. We hook you in with two high quality carabineers made in China..."

After the zip-lining we hiked up and small beautiful waterfall that just seemed a little bit too perfect, too "exactly what we expected but have failed to find so far" to be 100% believable as real. But anyway, it was basically your perfect little jungle waterfall, and I decided not to look too close.

They fed us and then we vanned back in Chiang Mai, where we checked into a new hotel next door from where we had been staying, then hit the Sunday Walking Street for more waffles, this time getting a few for tomorrow's breakfast too.
