When I got home last night after the internet cafe, my bathroom was still draining from my shower...there are no "bathtubs" here in Thailand, basically the shower is a hand held thing on the wall and EVERYthing gets wet. In this bathroom there's a hole in the concrete at the corner serving as the drain...anyway, when I walked in there I saw something move in the water...I was too freaked out to get any closer so I took a picture...frogs! They must have come in through the drain...but I'll take them over roaches any day that's for sure!
Yesterday on the beach I ran into a guy I met in Koh Phi Phi...a young guy from Sweden traveling for 4 months. I overheard the travel agent in Koh Phi Phi tell him there were no more rooms on the whole of the island, but I knew my place had some...(I think that people just avoided walking past the landfill to get there). Anyway, he did find a room in Koh Phi Phi and we didn't run into each other again until Ko Lanta on the beach. Small world. It was nice to have someone other than the Thai bartenders to hang out with though...don't get me wrong, the Thais are more than welcoming and nice, but I didn't feel like explaining to everyone that I was traveling alone...
Anyway, it's great here, but there's not much to do at night. We even closed down the bar and it was barely 11pm!
But that gives me an early start today...which is good b/c I have to even out my wacky sunburn. I'm burnt in small circle in the middle of my back, guess I just couldn't reach. And just the back of my legs and around my knees in the front. I swear, I don't know how this happens! Wish me luck :) btw, my arms are KILLING me from climbing...even worse today than yesterday! Muscles I never knew I had hurt...

I want fresh coconut for breakfast! I found the perfect job for you - be a travel journalist! You could work for Frommers or Frodors or Lonely Planet.
