Life on Koh Lanta, Thailand

.
Life, Koh Lanta-style is pretty easy! Hang out, walk on the beach, eat huge Thai-style prawns, scooter to the next beach, eat more prawns, explore the next town.... The weather has been good, though a little unpredictable. Apparently, before we got here it rained a lot, after that it was nice and sunny until we had one day of rain. Ever since though, it has been really nice and super-scorching hot. We have explored our beach called Long beach which is about 2 miles long, and it has great sand and clear water. It also has lots of different bamboo 'guesthouses' and more upmarket resorts, and restaurants and bars right on the sand itself which we have only marginally sampled! We did do a day trip of snorkelling which was fun and we visited some beautiful islands with powder-soft sand. We even swam into a cave in the dark which opened up into a hong - a secluded beach totally surrounded by high cliff walls with access only through a tunnel from the water (or if you're brave enough - rapelling down the cliffs!). It was a very cool adventure. * Mush
