Ao Nang, Krabi

Today was a busy day of doing basically nothing.

We decided to go visit the Diamond Cave around the corner from our beach. On the way, we decided to detour over to another beach area to see if we could find cheaper accom. Little did I know what we were getting into. We had to slip and slide over razor sharp corals and rocks. It seemed that everyone was going way faster than us and I was so afraid to drop my new snazzy digital cam into the water. It was so easy to fall in. As we came around the corner, we realized why everyone was so easily skipping across the rock faces... they were ALL rock climbers (not just a few as I expected) and they were hanging from the rock cliff walls like bats. We jetted out of there as fast as our slow pace allowed us because the vibe was very snotty.

We walked around the peninsula to find the cave. After a confusing walk through a really swanky resort area (for me this means anything costing more than $25/nt) and got to our destination. It wasn't what I expected, but we did get to see these rock formations that look just like a pipe organ in a church.

On the way back, Vanessa got herself a massage as I sipped on a pineapple shake. It was VERY stressful. To make matters even "worse" this was the view we got from our boat ride back. Hellish isn't it?? :) Here's a second shot from the boat.

Tomorrow we go snorkeling on several of the nearby islands. We'll try not to stress out too hard.

So Claudia, do you think you will get your diving certificate? My sister tells me that I HAVE to get it, but I am freaked out. Being in a place without true breathable oxygen is just a lil bit scary to me.

Dewbie,

Not right now. My budget is too tight. I am interested though. Snorkelling today was really fun and I can only imagine what you could see when you are truly underwater.

Didn't quite catch the sarcasm until I opened you pictures...wench, it's snowing here again.

Sorry Dione, it's been scorching hot here. When I'm freezing my boobs off in Tibet and Nepal, then you will have the better deal.
