Baan To Guesthouse, Krabi, Day 2

Not much to report today as we intended on not doing much but planning, and that planning took a lot longer then we expected. It turns out it is a long way from the Eastern islands of Thailand to Bangkok, and even further of a way to the Laos border. Add that to the troubles of trying to work out how to spend our last few weeks in this amazing country, and it equals a very frustrating morning!
After eating some breakfast in the hotel, we finally get it sorted (plane to the Laos border) and are ready to relax. My cold is still dragging me down, so there isn't much planned apart from eating. It is raining slightly until we get sat down in the restaurant, when a true Thai style downpour hits. Luckily we are under shelter, and it is there we stay until the rain has calmed down a bit. We eat a lovely pizza and a weird fish stick stuffed with cheese (never again) on the way home before hiding from the rain in the room.
Cabin fever is a real problem while travelling, when your home is never usually more then a room and an en-suite and it is certainly hitting us today. Inactivity for more then a day makes your feet very itchy, and we are both ready to get back on the trail tomorrow and so we get our bus to Phuket booked after much consideration. We have heard it is like a South East Asian Magaluf, but we shall see.
As night sets in, along with more rain, we aim to eat in the hotel. Unfortunately the chef has gone home sick, so we venture to a nearby restaurant where a very friendly host serves us some delicious food. Despite forgetting the rice, the sweet and sour cashew nut salad is great!
And so ends a stressful day, but one we feel a lot better for having. Everything is finally sorted until we get to Laos, and we get a good sleep, ready for a very busy 2 weeks ahead!Weiterlesen
