We arrived in Railay after a ferry from Phi Phi. The tide goes out so far that they drop you off in knee high muddy water, and you have to inch yourself along a concrete path that you can't see, in order to get to the beach. Everyone has to do it - even those in five star resorts with big luggage. Can you imagine Mom doing this, Alexander and Dad?!
We arrived just before sunset and explored the west beach. You can walk from the east beach to the west beach in about 10 minutes. There are huge cliffs surrounding every beach - a popular spot for rockclimbers. Unfortunately, we finally experienced the monsoon. It rained hard most days, with a couple hours break of sunshine. Luckily, we made it over to the most beautiful beach, Phang-Nga, where the picture is taken. Huge limestone karsts just out of turquoise water - a postcard view of Thailand. It wasn't that crowded and we had a blast. Brennan swam out to the rock and climbed up on it a bit. From across the beach, it was hard to even see him - the rock is so big. We are in Phuket now near the airport. We are excited about our trip in Indonesia. We leave for KL tomorrow and then Bali the next day and plan to spend most of our time in Lombok, climbing Rijani (a volcano), and relaxing on the Gili Islands. Wish us luck - it is the busy season so it requires a lot of planning! Hopefully, it will all work out!

Dear Summer
Yes even I given the opportunity would trudge thru water and carry my suitcase on my head to get to a beautiful place like that
I hope you continue to have a great trip!
Love Mom
