After saying goodbye to Paul, Martin and I headed on down to the southwest of Thailand to Koh Lanta - a beautiful island off the Andaman coast. We had a crazy journey though trying to get a coach from the coach station. One bus that stopped didn't have any seats and we got offered the luggage compartment under the coach!! For seven hours! Can you believe it?!! Well, we refused that kind offer and decided to wait for the next one which actually had two spare seats next to the driver. The rest of the journey by minivan and two ferries turned out to be trouble-free, but we were grateful to get to our guesthouse so that we could crash out all day in the hammock on the little deck of our bamboo hut.
Sanctuary, where we are staying is a really nice chill-out place and our bamboo hut is four spots in from the beach. Our ensuite, outdoor bathroom is lovely and totally private with lots of exotic plants and lillies everywhere! A tropical loo! The food is absolutely delicious and I can't get enough seafood! All very good reasons to stick around - a welcome break from the rigours (yes, it's tiring!) of traveling! *Mush
