Koh Lanta

27.04.2014
We had to spend a night in a town close to the ferry as there was no boat going in the evening. Around 15 o'clock on the 25th we found a beautiful bungalow at Coconut Home in the Long Beach area. A lovely and very nice man rented us the cosy bungalow and a scooter. He made sure I can drive it alone first before sitting Luisa on the back. We went to see some shops and the night market at Saladan Town. As we heard about a snorkelling and diving trip to the Koh Haa national park, we decided to stay a night longer. So on the 26th we took our scooter and drove down the coast till the national park and saw Lanta Old Town on the east side of the island.

After some studies for my two adventure dives we went to bed early as the pick up time was 7:25 am. We had such a good group and crew. We have been 9 people with 5 instructors. I had my own - Kev. Really cool guy from England. We had a lot of fun diving and he showed me some amazing fish, like the frog fish, a Giant Moray and a Sea Moth. I learned a lot about navigation and buoyancy from him and felt much safer and prepared after. Luisa made awesome pictures snorkelling. After the end of out trip, around 16 o'clock we took a mini bus to Krabi, in order to come closer to our next goal - the Kohao Sok national park. In Krabi we could enjoy the night market for some shopping and food.
