Well, as my last internet card run out I had to do this in 2 parts.
The second day in Railay was nice. I decided to not do the climbing afterall, even though that was something I had planned since before the trip. I thought that would leave no time to explore around, and plus, I did want to sleep in!
We wanted to explore the hiden Princess Lagoon andcheck out the view point. As I already meantioned, the hike was more of a climb. I initially was to scared to go down vertical rock wall holding on to a rope. thinking,-if my feet sli I will probably let go of the rope as well!-. Well, I finally mastered my fears, and it was so worthed!! Oh, I should also meantioned that we saw the Princess Cave on the first day and that was memorable, as the offerings to the princess were hundreds of wooden dicks of all sizes and colors. The cave was on a beach that had the most amazing sand I have ever felt. I wanted to keep touching it, it felt like silk.
The second day we finally got ready to leave for Kraby town, thankfully somebody from the hotel gave us a hand with the luggage, my back was still too sunburned to carry my backpack.
We took a longtail boat to Krabi. As a taxi service, the boat owners wait untill there are anough people to fill the boat, 10 usually. It did not take long. We went by some nice beaches, and entered a wide river. Krabi lies at the edge of thei river not more than 1/2 mile up from the ocean. From the boat we were able to see our hotel and realize that it was a walking distance from the hotel.
That night we did not do much...after resting we walked to a nearby nightmarket, a collection of foodstands at the edge of the river. The market had a very nice ambience, many tourists and locals were enjoing themselves there. By the way, it is amazing how many food stands there are here in Thailand, it seems that Thai people eat out a lot.
We met some cool people that night; they were visiting from Northern Europe. We ended up chatting for hours and drinking lots of Singha. We also had some misterious food, balls and sausages on sticks that were fried up on demand. Whatever they were, yum! I also finally got to taste the black glutinous rice pudding I have seen many times in cookbooks. It was quite good.
