No photos with this blog as my camera is knackered from all the sand in it.
Two days of very tiring travelling and we finally arrived in Krabi. It felt great to be back in Thailand and be based somewhere for a few days at least. Food much nicer than Cambodia, prices much cheaper, people much friendlier. Krabi itself is pretty stunning, with huge rock formations jutting up from the land and sea. Stalacmites and stalactites everywhere and even some monkeys thrown in for fun.
It's very odd seeing xmas trees everywhere but it's so hot that I burn in 10 minutes on the beach. My body can't quite work it out. I've tried to kick start it into xmas mode by downloading 80 classic xmas tracks and listening to them on the beach, but it still feels weird.
Today Annie, Lizi and I travel to Kho Phangan - a small island on the other side of the mainland. We arrive on xmas eve and spend about 2 weeks there before I head home.
I got chatting to a Dutch guy on a boat yesterday. I had been thinking I was looking pretty brown by now, but apparently not.
"How long have you been travelling"
"Oh about 6 weeks now, mostly in Thailand"
"So why are you so white?"
"Erm, oh, I just don't tan."
So apparently I won't be returning home looking any rosier than if I'd just been for a jog.
