Our day in pictures - Day 92

                                          Leaving our expensive bungalow where we spent one night.

                                                     We (finally) took a Muay Thai lesson.










We were soaked with sweat almost immediately but actually most of the shine is due to the burning oil we rubbed all over us before starting. It was supposed to make us 'less lazy'. It worked. We came there with practically no energy and even before we began we were all pumped up and eager to learn.



 The lesson was only supposed to be an hour long but we ended up spending more then three hours learning how to hit, kick and protect. It was so much fun and we only regret not doing it sooner. Would love to do it again!
 But the fact that it took longer than expected made Hanna and I late for our next appointment...


                                                                   ...rock climbing with Santi!
                                        The reason we came to Krabi ('the mecca of rock-climbing').


 It was pretty fun, but we got interrupted within an hour by our first tropical storm. So we had to quit early. Otherwise we would have kept on going for the full four hours. Honestly, it was really up to the storm!

 This is Nu (the hysterical laughter guy). He entertained us at the bar with all kinds of tricks you can do with straws. But mostly we just laughed at his laugh. And he laughes a lot!

 Hanna and I just before the storm hit us hard. You can still see our tent standing in the background. Five minutes later it was just a big pile on the ground...

                  The tide is crazy here! We can't grasp how this much water can just disappear and return. (Of course it doesn't 'just disappear' but that's what it feels like...)
