Hammocks, Road Burn and Drinks with Umbrellas


Koh Phangan, Thailand

One of my new goals in life is to spend more time in a hammock. They are the perfect mode for relaxation, specifically when placed beside the ocean between two palms. I'm not picky about it though. Beside the hut works for me also :)

We just spent the last (however many days we've been gone) island hopping around the south of Thailand. Our days consisted of sleep, eat, swim, read, sleep, swim, eat, read. We would rent motorbikes and tour the entire way around the island stopping at each and every beach for a swim. The rest of the time we snuck into private pools at smanschy resorts and hid underwater when the staff came around. Why not right?

It was the perfect end to our quick tour around South East Asia. It's crazy that we are flying to India tonight.. we actually stop in Sri Lanka to sleep and then arrive in Goa, India in the morning!

So besides two attempted robberies and one *mini* motorbike accident (and a lot of stubbed toes!!) we have zero complaints and zero traumas ... **The motorbike accident was embarrassing, almost not worth discussing ('cept Denise has a HUGE painful bruise on her foot). In Koh Phangan you see everyone walking around with broken limbs, road burn on their face, huge gashes. It's known as the Koh Phangan tattoo! The hills are huge and really curvy.. and everyone goes there and hops on and thinks they can handle it ... really nuts actually. We've walked everywhere since our mini crash :) No more motorbikes!

Time to chill and watch a move at a cafe in Bangkok then hit the airport...more updates soon.
