I was awake most of the night, that super strong coffee wired me totally. I could smell the coffee coming out of my pores as I laid in bed. Finally fell asleep about 6:00AM. We slept until about 10:0, got up, showered, had breakfast, did the last of our laundry.
About 2:00, Court and I and Lizzy and Stewart rented snorkel equipment and kayaks, and kayaked to an island off shore from us. We were told it had a small beach on it, and there was lots and lots fish swimming around there. We were also told to take some food, perhaps a banana or something, to feed the fish with. It took about 45 minutes of paddling to get there, it's very exhausting! We landed on the beach, there were some boats there as well, with a few other people on the boat and snorkelling around. Lots and lots of fish and coral here. Snorkelled for a while, and fed the fish, which was cool. Like pirhanna to meat, they just swarm around the banana as you hold it in your hand, and before you know it, the banana is gone! One fish even started nipping at my leg!
About 4:00, we decided to head back. Court's arms are killing her from the paddle to the island, so she was a little weary on the way back. And there was a really bad storming coming, and we didn't want to get caught in the storm in the middle of the ocean in a kayak. I remember Court trying to flag down passing boats by holding her paddle up in the air. The other boats didn't pay her any attention.
We made it back, and the storm missed anyway.
We are both totally exhausted after kayaking! We had supper, but could barely lift our forks to our mouths.
After supper, we walked to Siam Huts and visited Stewart and Lizzy, to see how they are doing. They are totally exhausted too. We decided to go down to another resort, where they show movies in their restaurant, but it started raining really hard, so we just hung out at their restaurant and played a board game while we waited for the storm to pass. AFter it ended, we headed down the beach to the other place and watched the end of Red Dragon, and then Honor of Men.
AFter that, we headed back home and went to bed.
Thailand...land of the crowing roosters! All night long!
