Ko tao by foot 2

Hi
Today, once again i didnt want to afford a bicycle for 2euros/24h, or motorcycle for 3euros/24h ^^ too expensive :D

I discovered little more the east of the island, like the day before, but now i had a map!1!

I found a beautiful beach, no pictures sorry, where the water was cristal clear blue, never seen that before. water is 30 degrees. went snorkeling again. very nice, but water was FULL of snorkelers.

So i decided to go rockclimbing! I loved that as kid, climbing around, climbing too high, that my father had to get me down again :D:D:D

the coast of ko tao is surrounded by rocks, big rocks. so i decided to go to the next beach by climbing the rocks. was very very nice. was my workout for the day. even though is was way too hot. fortunately had enough water with me. \
I guess i managed about 1km of rockclimbing and jumping over gaps, HIGH ADRENALINE :) but not erally dangerous.
Until the gap got too big between the next rock and i could only cntinue by jumping. that was little bit too adventurous for me, so i turned, which was a good idea, because by the time i came back to the beach, i was totally exhausted and destroyed by the sun.
But the trip was totally worth it! Had amazing snorkelspots where noone else was, saw a little shark and paradise underneath surface!

I guess, the sun had a pretty hard effect. i am very dizzy now and totally destroyed. so ill go sleeping soon. now is 8pm. something too eat, a good movie and then ZZZzzzZZZzzz

CHEERS

Ko tao by foot

hi
today i tried to explore the island by foot, but i only got to the next bay ^^ its very very nice there and i 'tried' to go to the next one, but the way was too weird. didnt find it. and it was very very hot and the sun destrozed me totally.

the one bay i visited was very good for snorkeling and i borrowed mask and snorkel in the morning.
i actually saw a shark, about 1m long and a black tip on his back. very nice. actually looked like a real shark, not like these lame fake catsharks, that dont look like sharks at all... or they at least dont look like they can kill someone. but the one i saw, did look like that :) make sense?

today i didnt spend a lot of money, so i can eat a lot :)

peace out

Hi
now on Ko Tao, near Ko phangan. will stay here for a few days. very nice landscape and prices are OK.

Went diving today, 2 dives. Unfortuantely i had again problems with my ears. Needed very long to go down and it hurt a lot... coudlnt enjoy the whole thing very much. Even though its very nice!
am not really sure whats up with the ears because i dont have a cold, like i had in egypt because of the air climate systems, which nearly ruined the diving.


Internet is 2 baht/minute. on ko phangan it was 3baht/minute.still expensice,so i stop now!

Cheers,
Veit

Fullmoon Party

Hi

Im on Ko Phangan right now, the party island in THailand with the famous Fullmoon party.
Ive been there the whole night and it was absolutely amazing. about 20000 people on a 2km beach. PLAIN FULL \,the whole beach.

i lived at a beach on the other side of the island, so me and 13 other guys had to go by a jeep from the bungalow company. 15 guys in one jeep!! 6 in the front, 9 in the back. I was in the back... i didnt want to miss out the nice view. no legspace, and i couldnt feel my feet anymore after a few minutes. but nice conversation and very nice nature at night.
who has played war-videogames like farcry or crysis? i didnt ^^ but anyway its the same atmosphere i guess ^^ sitting in the back of a jeep, in perfect nice islandlandscape, full moon, palmtrees (is plamtree the correct word? i dont know, you probably know what i mea0n, coconut and stuff) and you wait, people talking, until suddenly somethiong explodes and the enemy comes out and the action begins! unfortunately nothing exploded and no action happened until fullmoon party.

when we arrived at the party, they charged a entrance fee to get to the beach... 100 baht, 2 euros!!1!! unbelieveable! charge me money for the beach, no way i pay that ;)
so i went a little bit offroad and sneaked through some bush and finally got into a hotelresort, directly seaside. so i sneaked into fullmoon party for free! :)
but actually nearly noone paid because most guys lived at the beach anyway. only the ones who came from outside were charged.

i didnt hear anything, that something happened on the party, but when i saw a lot of drunk people dancing on the 1st floor of a disco, oustide on a balcony, with no safety bars... damn, i was kind of worried. i heard that somebody fell down, but i guess he lives.

one guy wanted to sell me ecstasy. i tried to convince him, that he better throw the drugs into the sea and sign up at some other job, but he didnt understand. maybe his english was too bad ;)

someone managed it to rip me off my wallet, ...
shit happens.


cheers,.

moving waterfall - rare natural miracle, but very common




damn, its hot here, i guess the climate around here, is the hottest i have ever experienced.
as soon as i go out of the house, i can change my shirt. sweat,sweat,sweat, feeling very uncomfortable ALL THE TIME... you know, all the rich people running around in their cool clothes, and then comes the sweaty smelling, extremly good looking, but unfortunately smelling german guy who left his house 5mins ago. the people here dont seem to have this problem. maybe they know some tricks. maybe they stopped to drink. id like to know.

today, i somehow made it work that my shirt was wet above the shoulder, not like usually, under it... at the axle, where i normally have a waterreservoir, there is no sweat at all. different country, different sweatareas.

i guess this is pretty much the only issue that would hold me back to live here.

but sweating is probably healthy, so at least i live longer than the people around here Muhahaha.

cheers,
veit
