Back to Thailand...

It's hard to believe that we're already back here, but we have covered a whole lot of ground in the last few days. We flew back into KL on the 16th and spent a bit less than a day running around trying to accomplish some stuff....decided that KL is a much funner (sorry mom, "more fun") place to be when you're not trying to accomplish anything. But in the end we have added an MP3 player to our posessions...it will be great to have on the long trips and to just have some music period. We are both quite excited about that.

From KL, we took a train to Gemas, where we spent a short night and hopped on the "Jungle Train" the next morning. It is a trip that was recommended to us, especially if we didn't have the time to stop and explore the jungle a bit, which we didn't. The trip started at 8am and ended at 10pm (pretty much ending at the Thai/Malaysian border). It was a long trip, but it was not the destination that we were concerned with anyways, and it was a beautiful trip...so green. It would have helped to have a little bit more air-circulation (there was no a/c and no fan) as it was a very hot day, but we survived:o)

Yesterday we travelled across the border and now we are back in Krabi...ready to hit the beach again...believe it or not, we actually lost our tans a bit in Bali because we just didn't go outside when it was so hot. I think this time we will go out to Ko Phi Phi (island) for a few days as well as spend a few more days on Ton Sai beach... and hopefully enjoy some snorkelling, before heading back up to Bangkok.
