Last day in Chiang Mai and travel to Sukhothai

Picking up where we left off:

After hand-washing all of our laundry we went of to the city and enjoyed the Sunday Night Market. It was a complete zoo! There was all kinds of delicious street food and every type of Thai handmade craft available. One of the neatest things that we saw that night was thousands of people coming to a dead stop when the Thai national anthem came over the loud speaker. It was an eerie beautiful. Anyway, we bought all kinds of cool stuff.
The day after was our last day in Chiang Mai. We spent It making some more travel arrangements in the morning then going to one of the most impressive Wats we've seen yet. Its called Wat Phra That Doi Suthep. It's on the top of a mountain where the views are unbelievable. It's main focus is a large Chedi platted in gold. The sunlight engulfs the whole area, bouncing off all the surfaces. That being said, the grounds around it are just as beautiful.
It isn't a short trip to that Wat but totally worth it. It was quite the journey up the mountain in the back of a songthaew. Apparently the lines dividing the two sides of the road are just suggestions.
When we finally got back down into the city limits it was late and we were hungry. We grabbed a bite and ran some last errands in the city then headed back to our guesthouse for our last dinner provided by The Secret Garden. The next morning we packed up, stopped at the post office to mail some souvenirs and grabbed a bus to Sukhothai.
The bus to Sukhothai was about 5 hours long and fairly smooth. We arrived here in Sukhothai at the Ruean Thai Hotel last night and are sorting out some things this morning (expedia canceled our flight home an will only communicate through telephone which is a lot harder to maneuver then we had hoped- Steve's actually on the phone with then now, been about 20 min already). As soon as thats done we're heading into the Old Palace Complex to explore and enjoy tonights Loy Krathong festival. We miss everyone back home and can't wait to share all of our pictures that weren't taken by iPhone with you!
Till next time
