ludicrously speaking

We woke up to a pouring storm but the tour agent came to fetch us anyways. Not fully revved-up to go in the damping situation, we hoped onto the van without much enthusiasm and apologized to the people on the van for holding them up. Mid-way our driver received a call about bad sea conditions and our morning tour ended there and then. We went back and had ourselves very satisfying Subway sandwiches, played cards and Sudoku (yes, this trip has been a mind-taxing one thanks to the addiction) and basically stone out for the day. We’ll do it tomorrow hopefully if it stops raining.

We aren’t upset really.

We had a blast yesterday at James Bond island (Phang Nga Bay) meandering through these crevices-like caves on our canoes and got an eyeful of these magnificent natural landscapes that forms a little sanctuary in the middle of nowhere. There were good food accompanied by the friendly crew that kept us in high spirits. And true to the core of our “beachy” nature, we had fun poking fun of distinctive characters onboard and continued laughing all the way till dinner. Yes, evil are we.

Two days back while I was happily posting my first entry on the trip at that internet café, an unfortunate…ok, it’s a sibei suey incident occurred. Initially thinking there was a “no-shoe” policy because we saw shoes placed outside the café, when we were exiting the café I realized I was missing one of my slippers. Some stupid kid mistook my cheapie $1+ black slippers for his black Havaianas and left with one of it…leaving me one of his slippers 2 size smaller. I had to walk around the whole day with unmatched flip flops. KNN.

I got myself another cheap black pair that very night to put me out of my misery.

Yesterday we had some time on a beach to soak in the fresh waters to cool off before we ended our day tour. We left in respective canoes, me not realizing I left my new flip flops on the comfortable white-sand beach. Once again, I was “floored” by my own negligence and amazed at my dizziness. I think I must have been badly hit by the sotong disease due to close proximity! Helpch me! AAaaaah…
