This morning Brett and I awoke to the beautiful limestone cliffs of Railay Bay. Its VERY funny to hear the Christmas songs in 90 degree weather, but we're adjusting.
Yesterday we kayaked around Ton Sai Bay and Railey Bay through limestone caves and crossed open water in the "Oshi" as Brett would call it - which was not NEARLY as scary or traumatizing as our venture out to Ko Phi Phi ley (see previous blog). The water has erroded the cliffs and there are caves and tunnels to kayak through :) Very neat!
The water and beaches here are truely amazing here, heavenly really. It's crazy to think that if it wasnt for tourism, that many of these place would never been seen. The Thai people are very nice, def slower and more relaxed than us Americans. Brett and I are close to the only Americans here... there are mostly Europeans here. You learn a lot about your own culture when you are surrounded by another culture or other people from other cultures.
Yesterday at Sunset, Brett and I went into the water. Our hotel is situated between two GIANT limestone cliffs that some people attempt to rock climb, that which we will not be doing. Anyway, as we were playing in the water, and giant fish the size of water bottle that skids along the ocean floor called a slug fish scurried under Bretts foot... it was pretty funny!
We're off to Koh Samui by a slew of transportations vehiles - by longtail boat, by safari bus to a A/C Bus to ANOTHER A/C Bus to a giant ferry boat to Koh Samui. It should take about 5-6 hours to get accross Thailand and we'll arrive in the later afternoon of the 26th (the 25th there in the States).
Happy Trails!
