After a week of TEFL training and 2 days at the summer camp, we boarded a boat to adventure off to Angthong National Park which is a scattering of beautiful islands. We stopped to jump in to kayaks for a paddle closer to the islands. The water was crystal clear and the sky was a gorgeous blue (which can only mean one thing......despite the repeated application of sun cream I did burn by the end of the day). We paddled in to an empty bay which just had one little stall on it selling shakes (my new favourite thing is a fresh banana shake, and is great for a hangover!!), and a short climb up some very steep steps for a lovely view down into a mesmerizing lagoon.
The next hike after lunch on board the boat was just a bit more strenuous..... 500m of sheer rock climbing with just a rope to pull yourself up on. The rocks were sharp, jagged and baking hot from the sun. I don't think I've sweated that much in all my life. Hanisha's first comment when she saw us once we had returned "Oh you've already been in the sea" Nope we're just wet from sweat....lovely! Luckily I packed my trainers to climb......unlike some silly people in flip flops....Tom! We stopped at each view point and the view progressively got more and more breathtaking until the top.
After a real dip in the sea we headed back to Koh Samui to crash for the evening and apply copious amounts of after sun to the burn!
With love from Thailand xxx
