So much to update yet so little time. Robbie and I are currently on the beautiful island of Koh Phi Phi on the west coast of Thailand. We’ve been here for a couple days and plan on staying a few more. The internet access is sparse and often expensive (well, expensive for our budget.) It’s been a rough couple of weeks. We got majorly screwed over when we were in Bangkok–fell for a classic scam for our trip to Koh Tao and Koh Phangan and paid way way too much for crappy hotels and horrible buses. To add to that, the islands on the east coast of Thailand weren’t anything what we expected–they seemed overcrowded and too touristy.
And, to add to the list of troubles, I hurt my knee in Halong Bay (fell down steps) and hurt my toe and elbow in Koh Phangan (fell off a motorbike while trying it out in a grocery store parking lot). Robbie and I are trying to stay positive about our travels, but it’s hard to with all of the negativity we have been getting back from the universe.
We’re hopefully going to turn our luck around on the east coast of Koh Phi Phi–it’s supposed to be very quiet and beautiful. After that, we’re back to Bangkok for a couple of days; Angkor Wat in Cambodia for a week or so; and then our flight leaves to Kolkata, India on October 11th or 12th.
Send us all of your warmest thoughts. I’m sure you do–but more is always needed. We love and miss you all.
