Scooter Madness Part Deux

We have been inhabiting the sleepy coastal town of Khoa Lak for the past few days. Matt spoke of our amazing snorkelling adventures in the Similian National Marine Reserve, but since then we have been keeping busy by rippin' around on scooters, boogie/body boarding, and cooling our sticky hot bodes in the local waterfall. Today we head north to Chang Mai where we are all hoping to escape the swealtering heat, if only a little.

Since Julianne left, the Navy Seal has taken up residence with Matt and I which I am thrilled about...really. Now I get to share a room with not one, but two La Ronge-bred individuals who revert back to some animalistic form of grown men. Fantastique.

The Samantha Show!

After numerous requests for more pictures of Sam and I, we have uploaded choice photos of our last days in Railay, the famous climbing location, and Lao Liang island, a quiet and picturesque climbing location.

The photo of the dreadlocked lumberjack like man is for Nevin, as we have dubbed this man French Nevin. He and his family have had an identical travel itinerary as ours and we have become good travel companions. He and his family are from France, so it has been a French language education session for the past while. As you can see he bears a striking resemblance to Nevin in stature and appearance, not to metion personality... He is a stand up guy with many entertaining stories.

Anyway the cafe is closing so we will say good night for now. All 5 of us are here tonight, as Julianne left, sadly, and we are down to 5 companions. So bye for now and we will write more soon.

See you in Chiang Mai.
