Subject: Post: <p>Yesterday was again one of the lazy days. We just walked all the way up to the viewpoint high above the city, lovely sport in hot and humid climate and spent some time around the town.</p><p></p><p>Today was way more active then. Early in the morning we woke up and went diving with a local diving company, taking two dives nearby. Comparing to the Similan islands the visibility was far worse here, but there was still a lot of marine life. Most importantly, we saw two turtles. :)</p><p></p><p>After the diving we departed the island on a speedboat to Railey beach, somehow luckily getting two last tickets on the boat. Actually the boat was already full when a travel agent sold our tickets and we almost were changed to a later and slower boat, but some people did not show up so there was still space for us.</p><p></p><p>Railay is.. Different from anything else we have been here so far. It's a small rainforest valley and beach surrounded by huge mountain cliffs, having just a few restaurants and shops and being in general a very quiet and nice place. Mountain climbing seems to be a popular sport here, even at the front gate of our luxorious resort there is some kind of climbing school. Maybe we should even try that..</p><p></p><p>Railey has a quite a population of monkeys, so we have already seen monkey families here and there. Just need to be careful with them, monkey bites are the most common reason for people to visit the local hospitals here and on Phi Phi..</p><p></p><p>Now the plan is to stay two nights at Railay, get to Koh Phangan island, stay maybe one or two nights there and move to Koh Tao for a week. More diving coming there. :)</p> Latitude: Longitude: Security Code:
