Sal and I had an amazing day today doing a Limestone Lake Tour of Khao Sok National Park in Thailand. I'm at an Internet cafe right now with terrible sticky keys, so I'll just briefly write that the weather was perfect, and we had a fabulous time!
Speed boating through gorgeous jungle green water, matched only by the jungle above it!
Kayaking and swimming in the same water, even as a British tour group member talked about alligators and crocs.
Seeing a family of Dusky Leaf monkeys in the trees while kayaking (soooo cute!)
Eating a fresh Thai lunch and chatting with our group (a couple from Germany, a couple from New Zealand, the British chap and our Thai guide -- so many interesting and great people!)
Hiking for three hours through the JUNGLE! So Indiana Jones/Tomb Raider and just incredible...to a cave, where we had to wade (sometimes the water was to our chins) to get through to the middle -- going all the way through is prohibited during the Rainy Season due to flash flooding, so that was a little scary, but our guide was great.
Then, more diving/swimming and kayaking before speed boating back to the dry land.
Sal and I had the hottest, most spiciest Thai curry dinner EVER (and we will never send food back to the kitchen for being too bland again) at our bungalow. LOL It was great though, but I think I'm still sweating from the hot peppers.
Now we're in a gecko infested Internet cafe, getting ready to head back to the tree house (I kid you not) for our last night's stay in Khao Sok. What a dream it's been so far, especially for Sal who since arrival yesterday has caught one chameleon, one massive skink, one tree frog, one toad, one giganto cave toad and one enormous millipede. =)
Time to walk back by the light of Sal's Christmas gift flashlight (thank you again mom and dad!!!) and get under the mozzie net for a good night's rest before our early minibus to Krabi beach! Miss you all!
