Hi Everyone,
We are having an amazing time at the moment and have been staying in the most beautiful place, Morning Mist lodge, the moment you walk up to reception you can feel the gentle mountian breeze, and the view is so special, you can see for miles and its untouched. It looks and feels like the mountains in Greneda but SOO much better. The locals are friendly & always in a good mood! Its a lovely atmosphere.
On Tuesdays morning we managed to get up at 6.30AM!! (EVEN IM IN SHOCK) but it was well worth it. We took a half hour drive out to Elephant farm were we got to ride the elephants through the jungl to a secluded small lagoon which we went for a dip in to cool down, there were little fish swimming with us, then after returning the elephants we got to feed them a few bananas and it was soo cute! our fella was called Ted! He 2was a greedy dude, he kept trying to eat all the way 2 the lagoon without getting caught!! Then we had to say goodbye to Ted and make our way back to the lodge.
The hut at the lodge is cozy and basic but we have our own balcony and garden with a make-do swing attached to a tree, and its just lovely sitting there watching the sun set!
There is a river only 10min walk away from the lodge where we went for a swim & while there the wild monkeys came out to play!! There was also is a giant rope hanging off the cliff edge over the river which the monkeys would use nto swing off & jump off to have a swim to cool down, but Nick to a fancy to it and was doing his tarzan bit for the day!! (I think even the monkeys were laughing at him). Later that night we all went for a BBQ & got wasted, we've now learnt a few new party tricks and met loads of other travellers including our new American friends who tought us 2 play Jenga, but the best part was watching Maggie picking a bottle off the ground with just her mouth holding 1 foot behind her back!!SKILL!!
Just about manage to get up the following morning to leave the beautiful jungle for beautiful Krabi. Krabi is really something as the pictures on bebo will show. We're staying in the J. mansion in Ao Nang just 50meters for the beach. as we were so tired last from last night we just chilled for the afternoon. we eventually got our arses in gear and joined the rest of the group in the pub. the bar was on the beach and was very trendy. we stared the night out with our usual slogan "we're only goin out for a few" but as usual with best laid plans went up in smoke with the help of Maggie. we decided to show the rest of the bar how to play our new game of picking up the bottle and we all had a couple of goes. there was some great moments captured on camera of people falling. after that game to majority of the group went back to the hotel and we decided to stay on with Kerrie and Mad Maggie. Twas a good laugh and we eventually got home for 3am.
Getting up this morn was a bit tough for the boat trip we went on. the sea is a great wake up call. we took a speed boat around some of the scattered island around Krabi and it was truly a beautiful experience. it was really refreshing swimming in the clear blue water. we also did a bit of snorkeling in another nearby island and got to see the beautiful fishes. the snorkeling took a bit of adjusting especially when it came to breathing but it was well worth it. the fish were swimming all around us, there was so many of them that when you move your arms to swim that you actually were hitting them in the process. mind you with all the beauties we did today we are after getting sunburned and its no laughing matter. ah sure well live to fight another cause, and we will stay in tonight...NOT!!!!!!
Well thats all for now but will write again soon. Hope you enjoy the photos!
