Koh Chang Lazy days

Today has been one of much laziness and it feels good! It started off a little shakey, all the cash points nearby stopped working and Georgie was sitting waiting in the resturant, had already ordered breakfast and spent the last of our cash on the room and as i tried the last cash point it froze for a few minutes which were the longest few minutes of our travelling so far. Georgie was 2km in a resturant with no way of paying probably thinking I had crashed, we had no money what so ever, Toby had left so no hope of borrowing some to tide us over and to top it all off the error message on the ATM was all in Thai… But thank fuck it gave me a choice of two buttons and I must have pressed the right one because it spat the card out and when I got back to Georgie they let us pay later. It did however make me realise that in making our money so secure it also made it a nightmare if something like that happens.
Anyway apart from eating at the resturant nearby and swinging in the hamocks reading the only thing we did all day was ride down to the pier to the south where the ATM’s worked and had some bakery delights for the journey, while I had popped to the loo I walked past the kitchen sink and spotted probably the best view from a sink I have ever seen out across the bay to a strip of golden sand and palm trees framed by green hills and blue skies, it almost made me offer to wash up… But not quite!
The weather is a bit rainy today as well so thats another reason for our lazy mood but we have a good bookshop nearby and nothing but time on our hands…
We do have a rough plan however for after Koh Chang (whenever we get bored) and that is go east to Cambodia and follow the coast until we get near to the Vietnam boorder, then head north to Phnom Penh and from there we will cross the border into Vietnam and go to Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon)
then follow the coast of Vietnam hopefully by train and with Toby after his volounteer work all the way north to Hanoi at which point we will decide on what to do next. Of course this could all change on a whim but as it stands we are both really exited about it and cant wait, at the same time we are really enjoying Koh Chang and there are still plenty of days of fun to be had Im sure…
