So its Feb 14 - Single Awareness day ...... yeeeeesssss
Officially maybe the worst day on the whole trip thus far. Kathryn, Erin (Becca's cousin) and I parted from Becca, Adam And Andre. Single tear when we hugged them goodbye. We took a ferry to Railay, and we arrived at about 5pm. We had to jump into a taxi boat, which took us to Railay. Erin watched our bags while Kathryn and I scoured the area for a plac
e to stay. Everywhere was full or cost 40 000 plus baht (little bit our of our price range). For one of the resorts we hiked 60 plus stairs to find out that they were full. We hopped onto a taxi boat to go to Ton Sai (people said that it was cheaper and that they should have accommodation?????).
We wondered around Ton Sai for 2 hours ~ 7pm. Kathryn and I decided to settle with sleeping on the beach, and decided to focus on finding a tent. We saw a couple packing up a tent and asked where they got it from. They had brought it from home.......BUT said that we could barrow the tent for the night because they were going to rent a larger tent in a quieter area ~9pm. We set the 1, possibly 2, person tent at the resort where the Switzerland couple was staying. A girl from Vancouver lent us a mattress to sleep on. We showered to reduce the stress of being homeless. We checked out the live music on the beach, and Erin got her first glimpse of the fire jugglers. Ended the day with the three of us cramming in the, not at all spacious, tent. Kathryn and Erin crammed themselves against the tent walls while I dominated the middle 180° from the other two. Unbelievably cozy......high season rocks our world!
We met all of our neighbors whom were also rocking the campers lifestyle. There were 2 girls from Vancouver, one guy from England, the Switzerland couple, two Americans, and a guy from Holland. We quickly snatched a larger tent so that we don;t have to touch each other while we sleep (Kathryn was disappointed). We tented on a huge concrete platform at Mountain View resort..... pretty much the backpacker/hostile trailer trash. Limited coverage from the sun and no fans we started the day off right at the crack of dawn.
We toured around Phrangan cave and checked out the resort that was about 100 000 baht a night. Apparently its the resort where Fat Boy Slim stays where he kicks it at Railay. 
In the Afternoon we hit up rick climbing on the east Railay edge by the ocean. The view was amazing. We utilized our spider man like skills. We met a family from Victoria that know Dr. Mick (Corrina's dad). At the end of the day we sat on the beach and watched the sun set which always seems to amaze us as though we have never seen it set before....... We miss you Becca, Adam and Andre!
