After a day of swimming, drinking beers, hanging out in a hammock, swimming some more, and eating... the sun went down. The beach faces east so the sun set over the jungle behind us. The sky was beautiful. The clouds in Thailand sit up high, and long after the sun goes down the colors remain projected on the them, a lot of pinks and purples and oranges, it's real nice.
We went down to this little bar on the beach where we split a little bottle of Thai whisky and drank some more beers. It was me and Timothy and a couple of British girls on holiday. The owner of the bar was a real nice guy, and his friends performed fire dancing for us. I will see a lot of this on Thai beaches, it seems to be quite popular. What a great evening.
The bungalow was hellish. The generator cut off at midnight... there went the fan. And for some reason there was a shitload of mosquitos inside my mosquito net. I sat up all night in the still heat, sweating, swatting mosquitos, and waiting for sunrise. When the sun came up I wandered out to a hammock on the beach and slept for two or three hours. On to the next island...!
The beaches at night look magical!
ReplyDeleteOh. And the mosquitoes -- reminded me and DB of our first night in Jakarta -- the Hotel Bali. We sprung for a better hotel after that.
