8. 2. Koh Lanta

We woke up to the heaviest rain ever like literally everything was flooding outside. This was thick set till about 2 oclock. We arranged for moped to be delivered and put on our waterproofs head to toe😂 ready to tackle the day. Luckily we had nice weather the rest of the day and headed across the island to Old Lanta town, it was an old Chinese sea Gypsy settlement which was cool, very wild wild west looking, all shanty wooden buildings, we did abit of shopping and stopped to have a coffee which had an awesome view of surrounding islands. We then headed down the island to Pirate cove, this was a red limestone beach but was quite rocky and big waves not a nice recipe. We headed then upto the viewpoint, after reading this was doable on moped we went for it, wasn't really doable but we got 3/4 of the way up without coming off 😂 was so funny. We climbed through the jungle to the viewpoint and saw a big family of monkeys which scarpered when they noticed us. We didn't stay long as both covered in mosquitoes despite the repellent 😂this island is notoriously bad for them apparently. We sketchily got the bike down the jungle path and headed to the beach to watch sunset. Dinner at resort tonight as we want to be up early as tomorrow we have loads to see!!Read more
