Forbidden Fruit

Forgot to mention this is out my back door currently, a rubber tree plantation, they skin the tree and let the juice run in to the little bowl that they collect in the evening to make rubbers. I live in a condom field! Surrounded by safe sex...doesn't sound like the Thailand heard about.

So today I went to Atsumi for my final probiotic dose and my first plate of fruit.  It was so amazing.  Then we all went to Ko Leh Island (Coral Island via longtail boat) .

The weather was nice..15kts SE 1-3ft wind waves over a slight ocean swell...I saw a catamaran in the distance hauling ass. Mising my baby at home for sure.

Calm before the storm

I also learned that they do not sell bananas on banana beach of Coral Island!  False advertising is obviously no biggie here. Since I had more than enough sun the past few days, I chose to wear long slve and hat and douse any showing skin in toxic sunscreen would be the smartest choice.

After a few hours in the shade..I ended up walking along the hills and beaches of this island, stopping at some small merchant stands trying to figure out how to store more gifts in my pack...seems as though I may hve to mail what  I have early....lucky you.

The evening was spent at a public market, outside of course along the main road.  I have never seen such a variety of food, fresh fruit, vegies, and of course all meats, rice and pastas you could imagine....dirt cheap too! And flies were actually landing on the fruit!

Yeah it was that good.

The next few days I am focusing on Muay Thai, training twice a day and fiting in some pushups, situps and weight training if I am conscience after the former.

Sunday, I am going with another guy here to Phuket Royal Marina to beg someone to take me sailing, I can't take it anymore.  The cards are telling me to be on the ocean not near it!
