Chumphon Cabana Resort & Diving

I'd like to set the stage a little bit here, in attempt to explain why it’s been almost a month since I’ve come through with a decent update. It’s got a lot to do with getting established in our new setting and accustomed to our arrangement of unordinary weekly activity, as two happy go-lucky "forang" in a lesser-known town in the south that has proven to be more resourceful than we ever could have expected. We seem to be blessed with what I would ...

... Thailand that-s sinking.

... br>Today we are hopefully going to make it into Chumphon(we are located a good 15min drive outside of Chumphon, right on the beach) where Tong is going to take us to the Autistic school, which houses students from all over Thailand. I am also hoping to make it into an internet cafe, because the internet and computer scare me here.
Life is good here and whenever it seems down I always think of McCabe and all of the life long lessons he gave us.
Besos.

9:35 am to 11:20 am – up n’ out and ready to find our way in this place. Western style breakfast in the hotel café while I get on the internet and Charlie contacts the school she’s teaching at. They want to bring her in for the afternoon. No time to relocate to a new hotel so I stay in the café lookin’ for places online, while my teacher ...

... so colorful and toxic and interesting. We stopped, and this one didn’t let me down. There were all sorts of poisonous paints and petroleum products dripping right onto the ground and eventually getting washed into the water. The boats were colorful tubby teak fishing boats. I am sure all the guys working thought we were very odd, stopping by randomly to stare at the boats, but I am getting used to that feeling.

Heute hat die Familie das einzige Mal gemeinsam in einem Zimmer geschlafen - in der Honeymoon Suite vom New Heaven Resort!
Wir geniessen wieder das Frühstück auf der Terasse und brechen dann mit den Mopeds nach Mae Haad auf. Wir nehmen das Longtail Boot nach Nangyan Island. Obwohl das Meer eigentlich ruhig ausschaut spritzt es uns wieder gscheit ein. Ein wenig schnorcheln, rumliegen (Felix) und an der Bar rumlungern (Martin und ich) - und um 13h wieder zurück. Wir ...

... coffee and had spare time to check my mail on internet, so I popped into this internet café. Why am I bothering you by publishing this? Because, the bloody owner of the shop has caused a fire whilst I was there. For three of us (no fire extinguishers, only kettle and soup bowls) it took only minutes to put it down, but this incident is certainly something to remember. What a twist of fate, no wonder I left Chumpon with a big smile on my face.

... sure what they are cooking but i think it's Chinese :-) We made it to Phuket across a beautiful bridge where you could see for miles down the stretch of water and Phuket looks wonderful and is surrounded by coast. We got yet another taxi to the hotel and settled in just popping out for a stroll and look around town before chilling by yet another Hotel pool.
