Koh Lanta

The trip from Bangkok to Ko Lanta was long and badly organised. By the time we got to our "resort", after many different bus and minivan changes, we were completely sleep deprived and depleated. After a couple of hours scheming our way out of here, the sun started to come down towards the horizon and everything changed, like by magic. Suddenly we were on the beach, facing a beautiful sunset, drinking mojitos under colourful lanterns hanging from palmtrees. We declared it a Honeymoon moment!
On our second day on the island, we hired a scooter and were free as birds. Driving up and down the island, stopping only for swims in the ridiculously warm water or for a refreshing drink in Old Lanta, we were unstoppable. We also got really badly sunburnt and were wearing helmets but apart from that, we were like true locals.
This morning we got back on our scooter and headed into town for a quick breakfast. In about an hour, we will be heading back to Krabi town on the main land and from there, heading to Ao Nang which is a beautiful beach and also the point of departure to Railey where Chris is hoping to do a bit of rock climbing.
Internet is widly available and cheap so more news soon,
