Hey...
So after a really good night, we managed to wake up at 7 o'clock to get make sure we were on time for the car to take us to the pier so that we could get over to Railay beach for some rock climbing! We were all so tired.. but we managed it, we ended up having to wait nearly an hour for the car anyway! Before getting to the pier we stopped off to pick up some rock climing shoes each and a harness. By the time we reached the pier, there was a long tail boat full of other people, waiting for us!
When we first arrived, we had to put on our harnesses and were shown how to attach the rope that we would be connected to when climbing.. i think the man was getting slightly annoyed with me, because i wasnt really listening as i was so tired from the night before!he kept saying.. follow the rope, follow the rope! but it was funny. There were several different mountain faces to climb, so we just chose the one without a cue to begin with. It was actually quite scary by the time we were all ready to go! Looking at how high we would climbing, we didnt think we would be able to manage it..but we did :) The view from the top was amazing! We were all so sweaty though by the time we reached the top, it was disgusting! Anyway, the next couple of climbs were in the shade so i decided to sit out as i wasn't feeling to good, Amie managed one of them though and she thought it was slightly easier than the first one! Kiersten and Charice, the other girls that came with us, managed 2 or 3 of these! I decided that i needed more food after watching some more climbing, we all sat down for lunch. It was only us 4 out of the whole group that were staying for the whole day, the rest were heading back to Ao Nang. The people that we were with said that we had about an hour to go off and explore other parts of the island, before climbing started in the afternoon. We decided to head to the other side, where we found the most amazing beach ever!! it was soo pretty! and the water was really clear :)
We went exploring by climbing over huge rocks and eventually reached a small lagoon. We decided to swim to anothe bunch of rocks, however there were thousands of tiny rocks in the water and i managed to graze my Knee and it really hurt! We had completely lost track of time at this point and decided to head back to where we were climbing as we were already half an hr late!
The second part of the day was the best part! We all did one more climb, which was soo high! by the time we had all finished jus about every part of our bodies ached! They then took us through a cave in which part of it was pitch black and there were bats flying around! scary! We eventually made it to the other side and the only way down was to abseil! It was soo gd, however i decided to go first and seriously banged my shoulder against a huge rock! ouchh!!
Anyway im going to stop here because i am seriously blabbering and boring myself! haha! so i will finsish this maybe tomorrow because there is just to much to explain!
