After being on our 'to do' list for a while now we've finally made it the internet! Yay. We've been living on beaches for the past week and a half and they charge a lot by the minute hench the quickie last week.
We're down in Trang Province now and hanging out with Chris' friend Chai and all his old friends from 7 years ago. Chai has a boat and so we've had a great tour guide showing us around the islands here. We stayed in a green and white hut right on the beach on the tiny island Koh Hai for 3 nights and earned a free night by Chai, Chris and friends providing the evening entertainment in the resaurant/bar. Chai forced me to sing and so I did a rendition of Lean On Me getting all the lyrics wrong! I did the same the following night at a friend's Buddhist ordination party but I didn't care so much then cos no one could understand english anyway!
We've been doing tons of snorkelling. The reefs here are just covered in allsorts of fish - parrot and tiger fish everywhere. There's no need to scuba although Chai wants to take us next week. We'll see! Chai's son Benz has already saved me once after a hairy moment snorkelling. I just strayed a little too far from the boat and paniced so now I snorkel with a life jacket when its deep! But everyone does it here in Thailand so I don't feel such a lamo.
Today we went to the Emerald Cave. An open air cave where pirates kept their treasure. The boat drops you in deep water outside the cave entrance and you have to swim 80m through tunnels to get there, and 20m of that was in the pitch dark (we just followed Benz' calls!). Inside there's a beach and loads of rare trees and vegetation all up the walls with the sun shining in. It was breathtaking.
Chai's lent us his scooter so its easy for us to get around here. i think we'll stay for another week or so then move on. We hope to visit Phi Phi Ley - where The Beach was filmed before we leave. Beaches here are AMAZING. I'll attach some pics tomo hopefully. Toodleloo
