THAILAND Part 2
THAILAND
Day three: We all met at the Big Blue (resort we were staying at) restaurant and had delicious breakfast. I had banana pancakes and wonderful coffee. Total cost of breakfast was about 70 baht ($2). Marvelous.
I dont care if this is too graphic, because I find it interesting: This was day three, and my first time requiring a bowel movement. Isn't traveling SO MUCH FUN? I even had to buy my own toilet paper and an extra roll to carry in my purse. Apparently Thailand's idea of hygiene is the sprayer and not the tp.
Dont worry, this post isnt a trick. There's actually Thai-related events to be read, not just breakfasts and bowel movements.
We all went over to the more commercial side of the island where we were bombarded with men and women offering taxis and boat rides. I quickly used the Internet to inform Mama that I was alive while the group went from business to business saying "What do you wanna do? I dont know, what do you wanna do?" We finally settled on motorbikes! An excellent decision in my mind. The motorbikes were a nice way to cool off and a great way to tour the island. SO. MUCH. FUN.
The island is really pretty. It's a small town, with lots of tourist businesses, small eateries, and small stores. We would ride by fields and see an elephant or a water buffalo just chillin. Cracked me up. We got gasoline from a woman with one pump and orange fuel. Looked like fruit punch.
We parked the bikes at a resort off the beaten path and walked up a stream to a water fall. It was beautiful! I'd say two stories high, with a big pool barely deep enough to swim in. We even got under the waterfall and let it almost painfully massage our backs. Evan even climbed the face of the hill to find that there wasn't much to see above the fall.
Pictures to come!
Then we rode around some more, ate lunch at a place called Cafe The Beach (ha!), and stopped by a "safari." There were about three small elephants! Sooo cuuute. And even two little monkeys playing around, and a baby monkey that decided it adored Jessica, especially her foot. There was a sign that pointed to "SNAKE MONKEY" and I really wanted to see if it was in fact a snake or a monkey. Come to find, it was advertising two separate animals, the first of which was not even present.
