Once and for all...

You guys are really pissing Mr Corona off!!!  We go off to the Internet inaccessible islands in southern Thailand for 2 weeks, and when we finally get back to Internet land, there are 3 whining emails from people who say they were reading but weren't...well, maybe they were...saying it's about time I stopped writing that bull all the time...they have lives...Coronation Street is still on! HA, I say!  We left Bangkok after a few days, and flew to a little town (that we are in right now!) called Trang.  Then we took a minibus, and longtail boat to Koh Kradan...

...where we saw this from our front porch, and the sunrises (yes, I really saw them!) look like this...

...I know, I know...it's hard to take a bad pic of tropical sunrises...well you come here and battle the mosquitoes at 6am to get those shots!  This was our quaint little beach shack...

...the only way to have a warm shower was to shower in the afternoon when the pipes had heated up the water by cooking in the sun all day!  We were in the jungle for all intents and purposes...so the mosquitoes held us prisoners until the sun was well up.  I thought I would pay homage to my old commercial days with a shot of my cheap, knockoff Ray Bans!

...Cassandra was busy writing the truth about what was happening to us...

After almost a week of great snorkeling, food, and relaxing...and a few Coronas, we moved to Koh Bulon Leh, where the REAL mosquitoes, fire ants, scorpions, and red vipers roam!  Bulon Leh, where anything that eats insects is FAT, FAT, FAT!!!!  There were monitor lizards up to 5 feet, not much snorkeling, cloudy, and rainy skies, but really good food...and cold beer.  We only got electricity for a few hours a day, but this is what we saw from our porch...

...and there was this little bar that brought back some fond memories...

...there were nice flowers too...

...after a week of being best friends with the mosquito coil, we decided it was time to go home....so this morning we got on a boat, hired a car, and at about noon, were back in Trang!

...tomorrow, very early in the morning, we fly out of Trang to Bangkok, Taipei, and Vancouver!  Mr. Corona...over and out!
