After the train we arrived in Krabi. We were all kind of tired from travling so we had a pretty laid back day. We got a massage (we went for the more relaxing swedish massage) and got some lunch. It was the most amazing pad thai and it was only 2 dollars. After lunch we went to the beach and hung out there most of the day. We had some dinner and then Stephen and I set up the hammock on the beach. We actually fell asleep for about an hour which kind of freaked me out a little, lol. After we woke up, we took a boat over to another island called Railay (which is where we are right now).
I loved the picture of the monkey on this sign!
Awesome view from the hike

We were so tired at dinner
Enjoying more iced coffees
Mmmm cappucino
Today was definitely an amazing day!!! After we arrived, we checked into our resort and then headed to the beach. It is definitely the most beautiful beach I have ever seen. The sand is so soft and the water is really clear. Next to the beach are the beautiful tree covered mountains jutting out of the water.
On the way to the beach we bought a couple of bananas. The lady that sold them had a sling shot and she said "monkey like banana." We thought yes, true statement, no need to point out the obvious. However as we walked down to the beach, the monkeys came and took our banans! Bad monkeys!! Sure they were only a few cents but I was hungry. Then, the little bugger went just out of reach and ate them in front of us. It was actually pretty funny.
Once we got to the beach we swam a little and the guys jumped off some cliffs. There was actually a small boat in the water selling lunch so we got some noodles and veggies. It was actually really good. We kept going back for banana shakes (stephen comment: and they were awesome!).
We decided to walk all the way down the beach just for the heck of it and I am so glad we did. We eventually came to a bunch of trees. There wasn't anyone around but there looked like a little trail, so we took it. It led to a ladder going up some rocks, so we climbed it. This led to a little cliff area, so we scaled it. We eventually made it to some caves up in one of those mountains. It was a little scary getting up but it was so worth it. It was absolutely the prettiest view I have ever seen. I hope the pictures can capture at least some of it. We also went down another way and found a little secluded beach area and swam some more.
On the walk back we passed that food stand. It was closed now but the woman had left one of the cabinets open and the little bad monkeys were helping themselves to pringles, pretzels, oreos and other yummy snacks. We locked up her cabinet for her and the guys took turn "shooing" away the monkeys with her sling shot. Normally I am against sling shotting rocks (and pretzels) at animals but these were naughty monkeys!!
After we got back to the resort we swam some at the pool then walked to the other side of the island and watched the amazing sunset. Sitting there seeing something so beautiful just got me thinking. If this feels like a paradise, imagine what awaits us in Heaven :)
This boat was one of my fav lunch places
