Islands... and such

First of all, I noticed my Sa Pa video didn't work, so i'll repost later.

Since one vacation wasn't enough, I"m now out in Koh Kong by the Thai border with Drew, another kiva fellow. Right now we feel like tuk-tuk drivers at 1pm on a weekday -- lazy . We had a fantastic day wandering around a completely wild island (there are a couple people living there, but there were no other tourists). Every time I looked at Drew it looked like a scene from some movie. We also cruised through a mangrove and got stuck in the mud. We had to push the boat to get out.

Other highlights:
  • lazy french tour guide who spent less than 30 minutes outside of his hammock on the boat
  • fish and sea urchins
  • sunburn
  • feeling really connected to everything, love for everything
  • running on a long bridge
  • tasty thai food
  • busy market in the morning
  • amazing moto drive in the countryside
  • rain in morning
  • wonderful everything
Backtracking, yesterday was fun.
  1. went to bus place at appointed time, were told there were no buses
  2. showed guy ticket, were then let on crowded bus
  3. 5 hrs, scenic ride, tight space, chinese movie
  4. got $4/night guesthouse, $4/day motos
  5. had fun trying not to sound uncomfortable with ribald englishmen/germans
  6. checked out beach
  7. tasty thai food
tomorrow will be more of the same. The vacations never end. We'll check out a waterfall and relish in its relative coolness. Cambodia is a hot country. Yawning and burping are the two actions being taken by my travel buddy, Drew.

Sorry, no pictures until good internet. Trust me though, it's pretty ridiculous.
