I have to say that when i left Bali at 06am this morning I was excited to get away from all the shops & thousands of tourists! THis constant hassle, "you want massage, yes!", "you want this, that, the other " was getting to me! Since arriving in Thailand via Kuala Lumpar I have not been hassled once! THis is my fourth trip to THailand & now I realise thats because its such a great place, despite changing alot since my first visit in 1997. I arrived in Krabi & caught a long tail boat over to Tonsai beach, next to Raleigh beach. Funny Raleigh beach was the last place i visited before returning home after my 1 & half years away when I was 19. On my trips since i have not come here but on arrival i realised that i had come to Tonsai on my first trip. I remember walking through the trees & rocks to get from Raleigh as i was invited for food at somebodys hut! In those days i do not remember it been a big climbing place & there was only 1 or 2 huts! Now there are lots of places to stay & climbers everywhere, which is why i have come!
It is very humid here as it moves into the rainy season. I thought i would cool down by going for a swim, not a chance! It was so hot that it felt like hot hot bath water. I was actually cooler when i got out of the water!
I spent the last couple of days climbing & love it! At first it was a little scary as you get up high & you see the view of the sea, the overhangs can be a little scary but I love the feeling of been outside. When you are climbing you have to be so present, you cannot think about anything else except where you will put your next hand or foot! Its also the way you use your energy is so different to other sports, it goes so well with yoga! I have to say that i have never sweated so much, its literally dripping off me & for those who know me, know that I do not sweat! Rarely anyway, i feel sorry for people who normally sweat alot!
