The first place we had to go was Railay Beach in Krabi. We have been so excited to climb as we did not find any in the Phillipines. So here we are, we have already been here for a week. There is so much to do and I just love the vibe. There are no vehicles here. It's a land locked area on the mainland but you have to take a boat to get here. We have done so much. Today I took Larisa up the mountain, 1267 steps to the Buddist Temple in the Sky. So relaxing, so peaceful and we decided that the difficult accent makes it much better as it is a deterant to turns most tourists away. But we feel that the Buddah is testing us. At around 1/3 of the way the steps get so steep, each one about 2 ft. vertical. We saw so many eager beavers turn around at that point. We feel this also might be a good lesson. All great things may be difficult to aquire, and most never acheive them, as they quit at the first road bump. But little do they realize that with a little perseverance, some of the most special, amazing experiences will follow.
Yesterday we encounter this very situation. We heard of a great climb by some fellow travellers, but that it was very difficult to find. The climbing guide did'nt say much about it except that it was very difficult climb just to find the beginning of the climb. A little difficult to navigate, but we persevered and finally found it. The climb was a 60M vertical climb off the beach, all bush whacking. Very difficult with sandals. But well worth it. We eventually found it. One of the climbs was a multipitch 200M off the beach where we started. The views up there are so great, and very few people will ever get to enjoy them while hanging off a rope from the side of the mountain. One of the climbs was about 20M up the cliff into a cave, which we heard you can explore with your headlights and go threw the mountain and then rappel down the other side of the mountain onto one of the most beautiful beaches. We happen to give it a shot at sunset, with one headlamp and it turned out to be an amazing adventure.
It been new adventures everyday. Climbing another mountain into a lagoon surrounded completly by 200M cliff walls. Larisa and I are enjoying the food so much, and wish you could all be here to enjoy the experiences with us. I am so excited to show you all the photo's but presently having difficulty uploading them. We are planning to head to Full Moon Party in a few days to celebrate one of the biggest parties on earth at New Years on the Beach.
