Ooooh, We Live A Hard Life


We just spent the past 4 days in paradise! It was so beautiful, the water was crystal clear and so many shades of blue! From our island we could see many different islands just jutting out of the water. We traveled with our new German friends Anna and Diar! We had such a great time soaking in the sun!

We went on snorkeling trips 2 days that we were there! Each time, we took a long-tail boat like this one. It was just Eric, Anna, Diar and I the entire time! We got our own private tours somehow...lucky us!
Sunset Beach was just a 10 minute walk through the jungle to the other side of the island! We caught 3 amazing sunsets! The best part about Sunset Beach was coming home, on the way back. The jungle is lacking in lights and we had to use our little flashlights. We were screaming the whole way...very brave! More than once, we thought we were going to be attacked by giant crabs or jumping tree frogs!
This was the beach we walked out to every day from our wee bungalow! There was never more than 10 people in the water and the beach was so peaceful. That's right, be jealous!!Our beautiful shower!! At first, I was kind of scared of a shower that had no roof, but it was actually really cool! If you took a shower at night, you got to see globs of stars in the sky. The whole island used ground water, so all the water was a little brown...it was very nice to get back to the mainland and take a real shower!One of the amazing limestone islands that just pops out of the ocean! On one of our snorkeling trips, our guide brought us to an island (a little bigger than this one) and we followed him through a cave. We were swimming through pitch-black darkness...I was thrilled, it was so fun! We finally came out into this crazy lagoon. We were surrounded on all sides by massive limestone walls covered in jungle straight out of Jurassic Park. It felt like we were at the bottom of the mouth of a volcano, and the only way in was to swim through this cave! It was one of the coolest things I've ever seen!
The water was crystal clear and the snorkeling was amazing! We saw so many colors and different fish! Eric had a blast with the sea cucumbers! I never knew Thailand had such beautiful islands!...Katie
