I Can't Feel My Lips! 2
So we went snorkeling today… it was the bombdiggity…
A few times during snorkelling, Scott and I felt these stings… like someone was pulling out a leg hair or something… not too bad… kinda annoying, and you think a bit more about what’s in the ocean…
At one of the stops, I was swimming and looking at jellyfish, which is quite beautiful from about 20 feet… when I felt this sting on my upper lip… my mouth went numb and i spit out my snorkel, swallowing some salt water in the process… not a great feeling i promise …. i don’t know what it was but i’m assuming it was a smaller jellyfish I just didn’t see… the feeling came back after a few hours… still feels kinda funny now though…
other than that, the day was awesome… we hopped on a speed boat this morning and jetted across the bay to a few Bamboo Island and Ma Ya Beach for snorkeling before stopping in Phi Phi Don for lunch… mmm… curry …. Then it was more snorkelling this afternoon…. it’s quite humid here and hot, but it’s nice on the water on a moving boat… quite baywatch-esq if you get the look and point right… fun times…
tomorrow, kayaking… then on to Phuket… remember the pronunciation kids….
Where's my sunscreen? 1
Scott and I took a flight to Phuket this morning (It’s pronounced “pu get” for those of you with a dirty mind…) For a discount airline, Nok Air is pretty nice… it’s run by Thai Airways. The seats reclined to a pretty steep angle which made for good sleeping. The airplane bathroom was also the nicest thing i’ve crapped in in 2 weeks… It’s amazing how a few weeks in the back country will change your perspective…
Anyhow, we hopped a bus to Krabi (pronounced Grabee) and 2.5 hours later, we’re in our hostel… clean, air conditioned (necessary when it’s 30 degrees and humid), all for 600 baht… We’re also booked on a few tours for the next few days. A snorkling island hopping tour tomorrow… and then a full day kayak excursion around some caves and islands… I think we paid a bit more than we could’ve gotten those for, but hey, we’re on vacation… and well, we’re in thailand.
That said, I’m going to get off this computer and go find some eats… I hear the Pad Thai is super in this town and only 25B….
