Thailand therapy

So, we begin the grueling journey back to the states in three weeks. We have been bad about keeping this updated recently and know it. We are in Tonsai, a small bay outside Krabi town on the southwest side of the peninsula. It has been about 10 days since we arrived and we have not made it far beyond our hammocks. It's pretty nice! Thailand is so easy and there are no worries - everyone is so chilled out. Tonsai is apparently a top destination for rock climbers which brings many many people, but not too many. And they are always climbing. The bay is a small area consisting of a plethora of Thai rastas (I'm writing this in a glass Internet joint overlooking the sea and a big storm is occurring. The sky let out an enormous burst of thunder and the night lit up - at the same time my computer shut down. It was electric...So now I continue)and little bar/shacks to compliment. Oriana and I are quite enjoying ourselves. A couple days ago we did motivate and make our way several bays down, through the jungle and up a steep hike to an overlook where we could see for out over the landscape below us. Our next mission was to find a heard of lagoon. We did. The hike down into the lagoon was ridiculously vertical with three different levels. Nonetheless we made it and just lay around in our hammocks eating fresh pineapple. Today we rented kayaks and set out to sea. We explored some beautiful surrounding islands with perfect white sand beaches. We got extremely sunburned, but luckily, made it home to Tonsai before the evening, intense, thunderstorms rolled in from all directions- right on time.
For now we will make the dash home to our little bamboo hut in the jungle. The rain has let up a bit, so this is our chance.
Much Love.
