We eventually made it to Krabi where we lived it up like Royalty in a mediterranean styled hotel for three nights. Some pictures are below. It was the best hotel we've stayed at in my opinion. Tiled, elegant, a rustic feel.


Krabi was one of the better places on our trip. We went to the white sandy beaches of Railay by a longtail boat. It was the bluest water of all, the sun felt the strongest and it was the darn prettiest place we've seen.



We also went rock climbing on the limestone cliffs. It was a fun day but honestly, indoor rock climbing doesn't prepare your body for the strain, nor your hands for the course and sharp edges that you need to grip. There are no and I repeat NO smooth large hand grips to use here. The Thai organizer of the rock climbing adventure wasn't the most attentive; at times he would be talking on the phone or changing his music whilst he was meant to be watching us and belaying us. (Apparently that is the term to be at the bottom supporting and holding the rope just in case there's a fall.) I was watching Jen and she was half way up. I looked at the ant that was biting my foot and when I looked back up, Jen was upside down trying to get the right way up again. She had fallen, the guy wasn't paying attention, she had fallen a little too far and when he stopped the rope from feeding through, she twisted and bounced upside down. She was alright ten seconds later.
