So we have moved on to a new location, same island, just on the other side. We were staying in 'tourist village' now we have a bungalow nesteled in the trees. About 10 feet away is the beach, very secluded. Our 'shack' has electricity and a nice little outdoor shower! Let me tell you, nothing wrong with showering under a banyan tree. We checked out a Muy Thai boxing match, pretty hard core. I also found Jameson at that bar, to say the least, I was a little off yesterday. We spent the day lounging at the beach and swimming in the beautiful water. Got caught in a total tropical downpour, it was awesome and only lasted long enough for us to get soaked and to get back home.
After checking into our new place we took it easy (like we have been doing the whole time) got some snorkeling gear and checked out the cove near our home. You know how I was all excited about the new, cool, underwater camera? Yeah, well, I guess something was a little off, and no more camera. I'm letting it dry out, but I have a fealing that it wont be coming back. Very, Very, Very sad. I did bring my 35mm, but boo!! So The pictures will not be available for you to enjoy until I get back and develope all the film ( thanks mom!)
We are going to chill out here for another day, than off to Koh Lanta for a few. We will than jump on a boat to Krabi, check out the hot springs and do a little cave exploring. After that we have to figure out a way to get up to Chang Mai. We plan to take a 2 day boat trip down the Mehkong River into Laos. We meet a guy who told us about this Gibbon Monkey experience, which you go in the jungle check out the monkey and do all sort of zip line and adventure stuff! Also when we are in Laos, Dan's brother told us about this inner tube/pub crawl trip down a river. An 8 hour adventure of floating and beers, right up my alley!
We have officially been 'on vacation' for a week, and the relaxing fun times haven't stoppped!
And I guess, we will have no problem with find internet anywhere, so I will keep you updated as we go..just no photos..:) love to you all-m
