The Hike

Its been a while....... few reasons for this.... alcohol... foood... sun... being lazy....
But what has happen lately....
Yesterday was a very interesting day,.... the australians we're hanging out with decided it was time that we hit bottle beach (one of the most secluded, pristine beaches in Koh Phangan) reachable only by boat, or a son of abitch jungle trek......
After catching two taxis to the pier, we realised that the waters were tooo rough, and the onyl way to get there was Jungle Trek... only problem is, we had to drive to another town.. and the only way to get there was by going rite round the island.... (another missions) and for some reason, lately i've been quite partial to teh travelling sickness.. which meant i was stuck up the fron with the taxi driver... mmm the fun times we had...
Any whooo.. we finally get to the town... and its time to go jungle trekking!!!! WOOHOOOO I'm all up for a big walk.. but you have to realise... the boat was the first plan.. and i wasn't planning on walking.. so here i am in my grandpa sandals trekknig through the thailand jungle... EXTREME CHEONG STYLE!!!!!!!
On the upside of things, we did get to 'look out point' which was a high point in the forrest that overlooked the whole island.. it was probably the most beautiful thing i've seen in a while..well at least since this mornig while i was brushing my teeth....360 degrees of BLISS>..
Few things happend as well on the wya there... the australians.. took a wrong turn (which took us to Look Out Point...) but still cost us ano ther hour of treking.. the walk back today to half as long.... But yeah...
Bottle Beach was a freaking wasteland.. they weren't actually opening for another few days.. and they hadn't had their beach clean up... so all the rubbish dfrom the main beach (haadrin) had washedup here...... still being the only 6 people on a beach was pretty amazing...
Pictures lately....
