After two busy days in Chiang Mai, Haddas and I decided we wanted to keep things low key. We allowed ourselves to sleep in and then rented a taxi to drive us to Chiang Mai's "Grand Canyon". Unlike the one in our country, Chiang Mai's Grand Canyon was not formed naturally - it was once a quarry. However, over time the quarry gradually filled with rain water, resulting in an enormous crystal clear lake. Today, the water is over 40 meters deep and due to the canyon's steep walls, it has become a popular destination for cliff jumping. The drive took us just over a half hour and we were happy to be some of the first visitors for the day.
We rented a tube, went for a swim, and eventually built up enough courage to jump!
We had an excellent morning relaxing by the water and decided to head back into Chiang Mai for lunch. At this point, we were a bit tired from all the Thai cuisine and went for burritos to have some variety. After fruit smoothes and mexican food, we hung out at the hostel and then went to visit Sunday night market for shopping. We ate, bought souvenirs, played cards, and called it a night.
