Hammock time

November 18th, 2002 at 12:00am

How quickly I’ve gotten myself back into Beach Bum mode here on Ko Lanta. The days have flown by once again and I’m filled with long walks and great sunsets and surrounded by nice people once again. I love this place! I’m staying at a different place this time, but still on the same beach and in the same vicinity as my old bungalow. This time I’m staying in a thatch bungalow with a porch (a must for the hammock) and a view of the sea all for $4/night.

I’ve seen a lot of ‘regulars’ show up again, lots of the same folks I met last year, and it’s been so much fun catching up with folks and finding out where they’ve been since I’ve seen them last. Renata from Switzerland has been to Malaysia and China and is resting up here before heading to Sri Lanka. Alaiy from England has been working in the outback of Australia. Dominique from England has been hanging out on the beaches of Thailand (still!). Laura from Scotland has been in Australia, and there are others who are expected to show up soon. And my Thai friends, people I met at the Sanctuary and a few other places last year – it was great to be welcomed back with big hugs and smiles and ‘good to see you’s. I made the right decision to come back here for my last few days in Asia. Feels good to be in a great place. Only a few more days left to enjoy this and then I’ll be heading (reluctantly) back to Bangkok to catch my flight to Auckland, New Zealand on the 26th November.

The view from my hammock!
