Island Life

Jan 28 12:30pm
Woke up early this morning, like every morning. Johnny and i took a hike over to Haad Rin. We were told it was about an hour and a half hike. It took us about that long, but it was a tough one for me. I had to rest a few times. The trail was pretty much straight up and the it leveled off and then straight down. I thought the up was hard until i headed down. I took it slow because of my leg. We did not stay on the other side for too long. I checked some internet. Email is very expensive on our side. I am trying to get the satellite channel for us to watch the Super Bowl, I think i have figured it out and today i will ask the guy at where we are staying since it will be showing here at 8am.
We are now sitting in the Sanctuary restaurant eating some of the best soup i’ve had. It is steamed vegis that are mashed into the consistency of Baby food, Abbie would love it. It is called Simple Soup. At 4:30 we take our PH test so we can’t eat or drink for an hour before. Then i guess we officially start our Fasting Cleanse??

We walked over to Haad Rin to check out on a dive course, it will take us about 5 days to get certified. We are going to meet with Malika tonight and discus if we all want to do that. We hiked over and then paid 200bht to boat back, there is no way i am going to be able to take that hike again. It is a longtail boat which is about 30’ by 4’ it has a full on V8 car engine on the back hooked up to a 15’ long shaft with a double bladed prop at the end. It is goofy looking and loud but it got us there. The waves were a bit high and the wind was blowing so we all got soaked. It was too rough to land on our beach so once again the landed us on the beach next door, but it is just a couple minute hike back over. Pictures take too much time on the internet to upload so it may just be words for a while.
