Anchored off Koh Lanta Old Town
We have now been here 5 days having left Rebak
Marina Wednesday last week, 8th December. The weather has been
disappointing and anchorages at Ko Lipe and Ko Muk on the way have been
uncomfortable with the westerly swell but we have now had two nights and
one whole day without rain. The weather is not
normal as this should now well and truly be the dry
season.
We have been struggling with getting our Sat Phone
to talk to the computer and have had other electronic problems with our mobile
phones etc. so have been without internet now for almost a
week. Hopefully the sat phone will now be
working and we will be able to keep you up to date on our movements over the
coming weeks and months. It looks as if our New Zealand modem
though has given up and we have to replace that so that will be done once we get
to Au Chalong.
Yesterday, we took a very fast ride in a local
taxi/tuk tuk to the main town to buy sim cards etc. for our phones and modem
stopping on the way back to coo at a 9 month old baby elephant with its
mother. What a little sweety he was as we fed him
bananas. He was very intrigued by Brian's silver
Crocs.
Tomorrow, Wednesday we plan to head to Phi Phi Don
before heading onto Au Chalong to book into Thailand.
