Roz and I are currently in Koh Lanta, a bit further South and East than Phuket. Quite a bit more laid back here and relaxed, but beautiful scenery none the less. We had planed to rent a scooter today and visit a waterfall and cave on this island, but my beautiful wife is currently not feeling too beautiful at the moment...probably too much sun.

Despite this, we still love the bathing suit weather. (he he!!!). After our snorkleing trip on Phi-Phi, we headed over to Krabi and Railay, where we both did a half day of rock climbing. After Roz got overly tired, I decided to continue on for another few climbs. Despite the fact that I've managed to scrape the skin off of a few parts of my fingers, the climbs were well worth it. The bus ride from Krabi to Lanta was quite interesting. Just imagine a twin lane highway, but with scooters on both shoulders, large trucks in the lanes, and smaller vehicles swerving in and out whenever they get an opportunity to jump ahead.

Sometimes it's best that you close your eyes and pretend it's not happening. While waiting for the bus to take us to Lanta, we spent about 20 minutes watching a guy wash his vehicles, then his two dogs (who were not too pleased with the situation). One thing that we've discovered is that the multi-waitress system does not work.

In theory, you would think that having multiple servers per table would be advantageous; however, this has proven to be quite the opposite. On many occasions, orders have been mixed up or too many or too few place settings have been prepared, etc. .... Yes, I am typing this as I sit on the beach ... this is my biggest complaint.Next off we're heading to the popular tourist island of ko Samui for some more snorkeling and sea kyaking (sp?). See ya'll in a few weeks!
