Hello from Thailand!!

We are now at Railey Beach, the rock climbing capital of Thailand. We arrived here yesterday from Ko Lipe in southern Thailand, which is a gorgeous little island just up from the Malaysia border. So, since you heard from us last, we spent a few more days (very tiring) travelling across India, seeing the Taj Mahal before reaching Delhi. After our flight in Delhi, we arrived in Singapore (which is definitely the cleanest place we've ever been) before catching a bus to the Cameron Highlands in Malaysia. There we got to relax and enjoy the tea plantations and nice scenery there. After 2 days, we made our way to southern Thailand and the islands of Ko Lipeh (for 4 days) and are now on Railay Bay, near Krabi. Ko Lipeh was incredible! We stayed there because it is one of the more quiet islands - so tranquil and beautiful. We snorkeled among the many many reefs - so many different types of coral and fish! We also kayaked around the island, which was a tough feat actually because there was some rough water! But no worries, we are experts.... : )

Now on Railay, we plan to spend time on the beach, theres a lagoon and a viewpoint to hike to (tons of cliffs here) and we will attempt a climb or two!

Of course, we cannot forget to mention the FOOD! WOW! We love Thai food, and are enjoying Papaya salads with sticky rice and Pad Thai of course - and don't forget the fresh fruit!
