Off to Kanchanaburi for a tour a two day tour. I was joined by my friend Michael who is living in Singapore and his friend O. Kanchanaburi is the setting for the film “The Bridge over the River Kwai” and there are a lot of things to do around that area. After meeting our guide Kiki at 6:00 AM to head out on our 3 hour drive to Kanchanburi. Our first stop was the Erawan National Park where we hiked up to see the waterfall.
All in all, there were 7 levels of waterfalls, our small group went up to the fifth and decided to do some swimming. We never made it to the last two. According to my fitbit, I had climbed 50 flights of stairs – an all time new record for me. It was up and down and up and own! In 90 degree heat this was no easy accomplishments and knew I would sleep well that night.
During my first trip to Singapore, I noticed Spas that you could go into and place your feet into a fish tank and the fish would nibble on your feet, eating dead skin. It was called a Fish Massage. I was so relieved when I slid into the cold water, only to learn that those same fish in the fish massage places were natives in these streams. If you didn’t keep moving, my feet were covered with fish.
