Aonang Terrace Hotel Krabi

... first cliff was the easy start, with plenty of craggy nooks and crannies to place your ends in. When climbing, you are supposed to use your legs for the scaling power, and your arms more for stability and a tiny bit of power. So trying to pull myself up with 50% arm power was a huge mistake. <br>Plus, I had eaten virtually f*ck all for breakfast, and literally f*ck all since then. This cliff beat me up.<br>Then came cliff two, with less to work with. I made it to the top ...

First Day in Thailand<br><br>Neither of us got much sleep on the red eye and when we landed in Bangkok I felt groggy but excited. We had a few hours at the airport before jumping on a plane to Krabi, so we withdrew money, the local currency is Baht at an exchange rate of 33 Baht to 1 Dollar, and found a hotspot where we sat down to check our email and call Gabe's family. It was good to hear from Bev and Gabe had a chance to find out how everyone is ...

... stamped! They lost contact with each other when he returned to his home in Germany. He returned a month ago and caught a tul tuk to her home town in Trang in search of her. Her eyes welled up with tears when she speaks of their reunion. Daniel is such a character, he tells of how he became stuck one night in the ocean for six hours! He has so many stories that we have practically begged him to tell us more. He will add something funny every now and then and ...

... be able to swim breast stroke and get more force behind me, but as soon as I got back in the water I was instantly exhausted just trying to keep myself afloat. I called out to the boat, which had spotted us by this point and it headed over to us. I managed to climb in but was shaking like a leaf and had blood running down my legs. I saw Jacqui and just burst into tears from the shock of it all! It was very scary. Fi was exhausted and scared as well and had cut ...

27/02/09: Time for us to leave Ko Chang. Matt, drops us in town for us to grab a truck towards the ferry. There was a few drops of rain so that made me happy!! We had to take a plane to Bangkok followed by another one to Krabi. Everything is well organised in Thailand. It is no bother whatsoever to travel from one place to the other. We took the bus to Ao Nang, just 30mn from Krabi town. A good thing about the credit crunch is that you can ...

It was really hard to leave Phi Phi and the group of friends that I had made although I knew that I would catch them all again. My boat left at midday so I packed up and checked out and found a nice cafe on the beach and stopped for some lunch. I have to keep telling myself not to take it for granted that I am in such amazing locations! Anyway just I was about to leave I got shat on by a bird! Good luck apparently! We'll see... The boat trip out of the harbour in Phi Phi is just ...

Poranek uplynal nam bardzo leniwie w oczekiwaniu na popoludniowa wspinaczke. W koncu o 14.00 zameldowalismy sie w biurze, dobralismy sprzet i wyruszylismy pod sciane. W ciagu 3 godzin kazde z nas zaliczylo po 4 trasy. Wieczor, wyposazeni w spitytus z tonikiem, swieczke, kocyk i chipsy spedzilismy na plazy West Railay...

... I was so ****** off with myself, I hardly slept last night. I got up this morning still feeling miserable, which brings me back to where I was at the start of this story..... at the beach, typing furiously on my iPod. Gosh, it really is beautiful out here. We'll be heading back to KL this afternoon. I know with a great degree of certainty that I will return to this place one day. Everyone had an amazing time. The spectacular nature, the wonderful ...

... We sat there for a few minutes, dripping with sweat after the climb, and then set off to find the 'lagoon' which was apparently up there somewhere... <br><br>There were small trails everywhere, and no signs, but eventually we found our way to a rather precarious descent down a very steep and muddy hill. We REALLY hoped the lagoon was down there, but ...
