It's been very cloudy today so most of the day has been spent reading in the hammock on the beach. Bliss! In the late afternoon the heaviest storm so far came over us. Hopefully it will be bright tomorrow.
Yesterday was mostly spent in bed, we had dinner with the Finns Susanna and Ollie (a great couple) on Monday and I thought it would be a bit more to drink than usual and alas it sure was. We had dinner first in an unpretentious Thai place and the food was as expected superb. After dinner we went and bought some drinks and went to the beach and watched an amazing thunderstorm out to sea. It was calm on the beach for a while but in a split second a ferocious wind came in and a massive black cloud was coming closer. We ran for our bungalow and got there in the nick of time before it started poring down and the storm we had been watching was now over us. We could still sit on the terrace and did so until, to our surprise, it was five o'clock in the morning. We woke up the next morning and felt very rough. Outside it really looked like the morning after the storm. The tide was out like never before and the rocks that are usually covered with water where now full of local Thai people collecting clams or such things. Big coconuts where lying everywhere along with branches from the palm trees. In fact we hear coconuts falling all the time. Wouldn't want one of those falling on my head. The electricity was out all day as well so our room was like a sauna. Not what you want when you have a hangover.
Was thinking about taking a kayak out today to this beautiful small inhabited (well by humans anyway) island just of the coast but the sea was too rough.
Only four more full days hear, could stay for months though. So peaceful and quiet. But I am now looking forward to exploring the other countries as well.
