Day 2 - Krabi (Railay beach)

We woke up early. So, we went for a short walk first. Was very excited when i saw boots pharmacy! But still early lah, haven open.

The ape traffic light. There's a name for it.. but i forgot..
We finally gathered and went for a delicious, heavy breakfast. We took quite some time. After breakfast, we checkout from the hotel and proceed to Railay.

Our programs are all lined up today with rock climbing, hiking, caving, abseiling and kayaking. Siong leh.

win liao. We have to carry our lugguage and walked through this muddy path to the boat!
And after we got off, we still have to walk quite a distance to the shore. My slippers sank real deep inside the sand each time i took a step. And when i finally pull it out, it will float away! argh! Have to chase after my slipper everytime.. kns..

We finally check into our resort. Not bad wor! 10 times better than the one last nite!
Quite a chio bathroom
We were only given 10 mins to put on sunblock, etc etc...
Had a short briefing. We have to think of what we want to achieve from the activities later.

I said determination to finish things. And in my heart, i was thinking.. i must do it!

and there's where the adventure starts for the day!!

faint lor.. yuan lai the rock climbing is climbing real rocks!! Quite fun lah. But i was really tired halfway and i nearly fall.
The words *i must do it, i must do it* kept ringing in my head.
And I managed to complete it and climbed all the way to the top! But i felt like vomitting after climbing. I only had bread and porridge for the past 3 days ok.. and i felt sick again.
All of us managed to climb to the top! We were split into 3 groups, climbing 3 different rock. Think our rock was the 2nd easier. keke..
We make our way to the beach for a short rest and snack.
shopping? hehe some nice scenery of the beach and the rocks..
I thought it felt very relaxing at the beach lor. How i wish i can go for a swim! Nice, clear water!! And we can see small fishes swimming just near the shore. How cool.

After some nice, calm session..... finally came the storm. We never really expect it to be so bad lor. So cham. Those hiking and stuffs.. argh. Wai Luan has promised us that it will be a retreat of unknown and fear. *pull hair*

This is the start!! of walking into the unknown.....
We have to climb rock again!! This time without any protection. They will bring us to cave to see bats. But i dun want to see bats! i want to go home!
It wasn't an easy walk. Most of us were struggling. My legs turned jelly after the rock climbing and it's still not recovering! It was very slippery. Our hands are all covered with sand. We have to find rocks to hold, to make sure that we will not slip and fall. I almost cried everytime i almost slipped. Knn... dun want to die there like tat leh.
Pitch dark. There were ladders inside the caves for us to climb.. So much climbing to do. So much rocks to climb, so many ladders too. Tired. Weak... knocked my knee against the rock and shun bian brushed it too. Brushed my shoulder against the rock too. when will this end....
Nothing much to mention abt the bats lah. So dark, the bats so small. Can't see much also. duhz.
Wai Luan took this from the foot of the rock. We looked so small up there! I can't believe this when i saw the pic. How did we climb up there!!! I dare not stand at the edge lor. Scary!!! And i dun wanna stand to take photo. I chose to sit. hahaha.. zhen mei yong.

But the view up there was fantastic. Had often seen it in the movies. Now i finally get to see it myself!
Guess all the climbing are all worth it.. for now nia.
And now, we have to get down.
*sweat*
Yah lah, have to abseil. My pic wasn't great. Thought he took better pics for all the other colleagues. Grrr. Abseiling was fun! Quite a short distance nia lah.

And i thought we will reach the beach after abseiling. No lor!
Damn!! We still have to walk down. ARghhhhhhhhhhh.. when will this end. when will this end...

Slippery!!!!! And walking downslope are making things even worse.
I decided that i'm going to hit the beach real fast. So, i walked all the way in front, ignoring tex. He also steady lah. He told me "ok, u can go first, walk straight and turn left to the beach".

Fine.
I walked to a point whereby my instinct tells me it's turning right. Turn left to where? Like no road ahead liao.

So, i turned right... brushed my hand with those thorns on the trees. Held on to ropes for steeper steps. Brushing all the mosquitoes away from me. Jumping from rocks to rocks..

tired.
*i must do it, i must do it*

and i heard "Eunice! where are you!!"
"below liao..."
"u stay there! dun move! wait for us!"
but i dun see them lor...and i can't wait. So many mosquitoes!!

I continued.. and AHHHHHHHHHHHH.. the beach!!
I felt greatly satisfied and a great sense of accomplishment.
I did it!
ho ho ho..
