Bon Voyage Ko Tao

We decided to skip the sea sickness causing ferry and caught the overnight car ferry to Surrathani as we were heading onwards for Rai Leh beach. Little did i know that this would be a disappointing day.

We caught a longtail boat to Rai Leh beach which as the postcards depict, present you with absolutely breathtaking views. I dunno what is was, I think I was just "travelled out", but the limestone cliffs emerging from the aquamarine sea, looked like just another beach to me and equaled another picture on the camera.

Off the boat and we needed to get some accommodation but the east side, the affordable side is so run down and literally smells. We did eventually find a room that was nice and affordable but was not ready and we could only get it in a half hour. We went over to West Rai Leh and it is spectacular, really a pity there are only 5 star resorts on that side, i suppose they try keep the rubbish like me off there.

We got back to our hotel and they told us it was full for the night, i stood there in shock, as we had just gone off, left our bags with them and now they had give our rooms to someone else. This was a blessing in disguise as now we could get the hell off the island. We'll leave the sandstone cliffs and world renowned rock climbing to someone else. We had the next day to look forward to as it is Celias birthday on the 15th and ze Germans we met in Cambodia, Marco and Sonia, are meeting us in Ko Lanta to celebrate.
