Reporting from Thailand!
Well, it’s been an incredible week so far. I’m not really sure where to begin.
I’ve started putting a few pictures up in the gallery, but there are hundreds more to come!
Currently, I’m sitting in the lobby of a resort on the west coast of Railay Peninsula, on the south east coast of Thailand, using the only free wifi for 100 miles, and sweating like mad. We’re taking the day off of adventures today, because Mark and I both feel like we’ve been through a mud, sand, sun and salt-water filled blender in the last few days.
We’ve been on the peninsula for 3 days, and so far we’ve hiked through thick jungles, seen about a hundred monkey’s, climbed two beautiful sport climbs, met up with my old college buddy Weeks, gone swimming in clear, warm water, and spent hours deep water solo’ing on the cliffs dotting the ocean.
We are sunburnt, raw, and exhausted today, but still have plenty of time left to explore this amazing country. Mark and I are in love with Thailand right now. The people are amazing, the food is fantastic, the landscape is surreal and beautiful, and the climbing is top-notch.
What more could you possibly want?
Jealous.
Take more pictures of the inland area – I am curious to see what the area looks like now. We haven’t been there since 2000, and given the tsunami that hit, things are bound to have changed.
I thought Crater Lake was the prettiest body of water anywhere! This tops that easily. Thanks for sending pictures so soon. Can’t wait to see what else you visit. As always, your photos are fantastic! Love, Kathy.
Wonderful ! ! But can it compare to the February shores of Lake Erie, climbing Mount Plowedsnow, solo slipping-n-falling or windburning near the electric utility plants dotting the shoreline?
This is incredible! I’m so glad you guys got to go. Can’t wait for more pictures. However, having climbed Mount Plowedsnow several times myself, I’m inclined to agree with Wayne.
Thanks everybody! Mount Plowedsnow was not missed at all on this trip, however, it was still there when we got home. :)
