So it's day 5, I think, in Railay and I'm ready to head to Phuket tomorrow. I'm almost done my exploring, (rock climbing yesterday where I made it to the top of a two 15m cliffs, a 5a and 6a, before my weak arms gave in, and a 7 island sunset snorkeling tour tonight where we apparently get to swim with phosphorescence). My only problem is that yesterday I had mango sticky rice for the first time. Katie I'm sure you mentioned this to me but this stuff is amazing! I had it for breakfast before climbing yesterday and I can't stop craving it. For those that don't know, it's warm rice with coconut milk drizzled on it topped with slices of mango. This may seem like an odd combination and I admit I was a little skeptical at first, but after the first bite all I wanted was more. Please have mango sticky rice Phuket! I can't wait for breakfast tomorrow.
Speaking of food, people over here (tourists included) smoke more than they eat! Who knew how sheltered we are in Canada that the moment I step in a foreign country I am bombarded and dare I say got a cold from, inhaling the cigarette smoke from the chain-smoking rest of the world. All I can say is wow - I'm so happy I live in Canada.
And now I'm off to try to book a hostel in Phuket online. I've given up wandering around aimlessly looking for a cheap room day of and have decided to book one before arriving. Lesson learned, no more stressful day ones for me. Famous last words right? Here goes...
