hi all,
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!
