September 6

We just did the same thing again today, except Syd got a Thai massage and I got my hair cut (only an inch and only $4- it felt like it was getting too long and it had been about 5 months).
The only difference from the DR is that the Thai food is better. We've had some great curry and Pad Thai. Also all the fresh frozen juice drinks are so good.
I went on a little walk down the beach today. There are hardly any waves. The water is pretty clear, but more light blue than dark blue. We saw a model shoot going on down the beach from us. The island is pretty hilly and there are some really pretty waterfalls and Elephant "safaris" you can take around the mountains to see the waterfalls. We leave tomorrow for an epic bus/ferry/train journey to Singapore, so I'm not sure when I'll next blog.
