last night we checked in in a nice hotel with airco and a hot shower! It's a little bit more expensive but 7.5 euro each including breakfast is still ok considered what you pay in belgium. We planned a day at the beach and so this morning we went: we were looking for a bicycle or motorbike rental but apparently there are none around here so we took a motorbike taxi to a bicycle shop. He didn't understand us correctly that we want to hire one, not buy. At least it was on the way to the beach so we started walking there, after about 45 min we finally reached the sea and well it is worth it: we got our private bounty beach! After a little swim we bought a small plastic ball to enjoy ourselves with. I'm better at it than Kevin, seriously kicked his ass!!! Then we went for lunch but the restaurants nearby were really expensive... So we kept on walking for again about half an hour until we found a local restaurant. We had 2 delicious grilled fish and some white rice, actually 2 giant bowls of white rice, I couldn't even finish it... Kevin liked the fish more than the ones he ate at home, he said: 'it tastes a bit like rice'. This kind of made me upset and I told him to stop eating, it tastes way better than rice!!! This was fresh fish from the sea, unbelievable. 

We went back to our beach since the other beaches were pretty dirty: Thai people just throw their trash away on the beach. It's something they will have to change if they want to keep the environment beautiful. We again had a nice swim but Kevin was afraid of a jellyfish that he though he saw so he stayed close to the beach, until his legs were almost completely under water... Kevin found a stick and wanted to play baseball, it didn't go so well: he missed a few times. So I tried and with my second strike the ball was broken... I'm way too strong :D it's probably the workout from a few days ago... Kevin took the ball away from me and started playing golf with it (again missed 10 times more than he hit the ball).

we hitchiked to our hotel again where we are now changing to go out to eat: in two directions: I'll go to the local restaurant while Kevin wants to go to the KFC. It's my mistake: on the way back I saw one and pointed it to Kevin, I should have never done that but at least he ate some fish today.

today we had a transport day: we went from chanthaburi to rayong. First we had to return the motorbike :( it served us well! Then we had to pick up Kevins laundry and have breakfast. I had a spicy breakfast this morning, it didn't look spicy when I pointed at it, but gosh I was happy that there was rice and water available. Kevin went for french bread with jam...

At the bus station it took us quite a while to explain that we wanted to go and explore the caves on the road so we wanted to get off somewhere half way. There we got on a Songthaew and got dropped of at the national park, there was nobody there... After exploring the area we found someone and he gave us rubber boots and a flashlight. We left our luggage there and off we went into the jungle. The first cave was one full of bats and that you could smell from far away!!! When we went in, we also started to hear it and the further we went, the noisier it became. When we looked up, we saw them moving and there were many of them and just two of us... The noise became a bit too loud and we headed back out of the cave towards the next one. At the next cave there was water and there were also flying animals, however smaller this time: musquitoes. We tried to get through the water, but it was to deep for our boots and we had to go another way: a smaller one where we did fit in and we could go 10 meter further. It was a very nice cave to look at! Kevin started feeling ill so we headed back to the rangers office. After a rest of half an hour we walked to the bigger road and hitchiked to the highway: we got a fast ride (130 km an hour on the wrong side of the road and he couldn't see 100 m before him because of the hill) quite crazy if you ask me but it was comfortable :P the songthaew took us more than half an hour while this ride was there in about 10 minutes. We bought our bus ticket and went to Rayong, a big busy city where English is no problem. We found ourselves a nice room and tomorrow there is a breakfast included so we can enjoy american breakfast again! In the evening we still went to an evening market where Kevin found french fries! The potatoes here aren't as tasty but the frying procedure was good and so we enjoyed! After a weird shake we went back to our hotel where we are writing this lovely post while listening to some Thai Karaoke music.

grtz!
