Hi everyone,
So we reached the South West of Thailand, the Andaman Sea coast. It is very beautiful down here and the landscape is so unique but we can not appreciate it fully as the weather has been quite erratic. It has rained a lot and the wind has been consistently strong making the sea choppy and far from the crystal clear snorkel-happy waters we hoped to find. Because of the weather (monsoon season) it is low tourist season which means wherever we went the beaches and hotels were empty. It's nice to get away from it all, of course, but we want some action.
We spent 4 days on the island of Koh Lanta where we stayed in bamboo huts metres from the beach and rented a scooter to explore the island. However, used to the excitement of true backpacking, we got bored quickly and after much "reading time" on the beach we decided to head back up north. We are in Trang currently waiting for our 15hr train journey to Bangkok from where we will continue north to some interesting cities and eventually the jungle near Chiang Mai.
We're contemplating stopping off on the journey for a 10 day meditation course (Vipassana) where we will be taught the ancient techniques of quieting our minds and spend our days in silence meditating most of the time with no material possessions to distract us. Would be quite a challenge I'm sure - no make-up (for Rozzi), no BEER (for Laurence - uh oh!).
After that who knows - we'll keep you all updated. In the meantime if you desperately need to contact us the Nepali number is out of action now so email us or drop me a text on my English mobile (07515148870).
Lots of love
xxx
Rozzi and Laurence
