Sad it may seem ... but no retirement yet as there is a whole world out there to be enjoyed . Siboya was amazing . A small village style place with individual bungalows set just a small stumble back friom the ocean . Very remote , about an hours slow drive down the coast off the beaten track , a short boatride to the island followed by a ride on the back of a ute to the other side of the island . 2 hours later it seemed you were in the middle of butt-fuck-nowhere ... and if you ask me , its a bruddy great place to be when the food was as good as it was . Lots of fresh fruit and veges spread through a menu that was roughly 30 pages long . And most were thai specialtys too . On the first night i tucked into some barracuda which was soaked in a coconut milk curry and then steamed in banana leaf, bruddy good tucka ! Was a great place to chill for a couple of days and soak up some serious beach time when our own hut only set us back $15 a night . The only thing that seemed to move on the island was the tide ... and it was probably the noisiest on the island too . A world away from anywhere really . Walking along the beach you come across a family of about 20 monkeys and even a decent sized snake to cross your path . A place that would be well worth a visit in the next couple of years as they are due to get power to the island some time beyond 2010 .
So ... back in Krabi for the night and then off to the island Ko Phi Phi tomorrow and then on to Phuket for a couple of days after that . As i am sure you can imagine life is so so sweet right now and every day seems to present itself as yet another blessing .
I hope you are all smiling and that life is smiling on you too . Keep your eye out for some more photos soon too .
Big love from you know who !
