We are down to our last day in Thailand. We have stayed in Tonsai for our entire trip, enjoying life here way too much. We have sent all of our climbing projects and are taking it easy as we prepare to go to Kalymnos in Greece.
During the last couple of weeks we enjoyed a four-island snorkelling tour and deep water soloing. During the snorkelling tour we explored colourful corrals, schools of thousands of fish, and other sea creatures that are most memorable: moray eel, trumpet fish, puffer fish, jelly fish, sea urchins and clown fish.
The snorkelling trip finished on an isolated beach during sunset with huge pots of Thai curries. Our last stop before home that night was a late night swim in phosphoresent waters, and everything that moved in the water sparkled. The day was beautiful!
The deep water soloing trip was also a blast. We climbed up steep lines and jumped into the water from 5-15m.
One deep water solo climb we both enjoyed started steeply grabbing tufas, then stemming out to one stalagtite and hugging it, then stemming out to another giant stalagtite and moving to it. I jumped into the water from there and Dave enjoyed more of the climbing above on the stalagtite. The crew we were with loved the climbing and jumped from crazier distances!
We will remember our time here of good eats, fun new friends, great climbing, new experiences, romantic sunsets, and oceanside relaxation.
We are satisfied with the amount of climbing we have accommplished and we are getting ready for more in Kalymnos.
