So, it totally sucks that we punked out on our blog for the whole last 2 weeks of our trip and we apologize for that to anyone who was keeping up with it. But the internet was very "dodgy" and expensive in the south islands in our defense. We did have a blast though during these last two weeks with Morgan and we're sad to say goodbye to Thailand. We spent our first week in the islands on Koh Phi Phi, which was pretty expensive but really fun all the same. We checked out the beach party scene and did some snorkeling excursions, including an overnight camping trip, where we slept under the stars, on Maya Beach. We also got to check out the place that Caleb recommended to us called "The Last Paradise", and that was incredible because it was our only bungalo ON the beach where we could hear the waves crashing all night long. We spent our last week in Koh Phangan with Chamisa, which was a beautiful island! Chamisa was a great host, as was Num. They took us around on a personal tour of the island by motorbike and Num showed us his favorite look-out spots and markets and restaurants. It was great. We also went to the halfmoon festival which was such a BLAST. We danced our asses off from midnight till dawn. The Thais sure know how to throw a party. We also spent a lot of time lounging on the beach, which is always nice. Then we came back to Bangkok for the last two days for shopping and visiting the Grand Palace. The Palace was amazing! So much intricate work on those Wats, it was incredible. Well, I guess that's the last two weeks in a nut-shell. Tomorrow we head back to reality I suppose. Thanks to everyone who left comments on our blog - honestly, it's the only reason we continuously kept trying in vain to put pictures on and continued to write our corny scenarios of our adventure. Catch you cats on the flip flop! Love, Sarah
Dude. as the other sara, i have to say this country had room for both of us. olues morgan. but she was like a bonus. like when you get to the bottom of the bag and there is one whole chip left, totally unbroken. ok, maybe a bit better than that even. depends how much you value your chips. anyways, it was freakin awesome. we finished it off last night with a thai lady-boy cabaret show that rocked our socks off (though we were the only ones in the audience cheering loudly and hooting. everyone else was old and not as amused i guess....odd...) now we are headed home and all we have to show for it is.....well, ok, we have a lot too show for it. including my new yet-to-be-named elephant, who resides on my right ankle. forever. im such a rebel. anyways, adios to the online journal, which basically fell a part in the end, but i hope all reading it were entertained at the least. see you suckas in cali yo!
