Jungle Party

The bungalows that we are staying in in Kao Sok are gorgeous, new, glass front bungalows and my new roomie kate is the best roomie a girl could ask for :) PLUS we get to meet up with the other F&E groups here, not to mention a couple of people from LTC who are making their way back to us! Each group meeting here has a theme, and ours is Goth! For today though, we all went river tubing and then stayed up for some drinks while Colin taught (or tried to teach) me how to use/ twirl the fire batons. I'm not too bad at it... but I'm pretty sure if I lit them on fire... I'd die :P

Soooo, last night was the longest night of my life!! All the groups met up and got dressed up in our goth gear and basically drank all day long. I had the craziest day/ night... I'm pretty sure the last thing that I remember is lying out on the porch swing with Janelle and Cody tied to my belt, and Jeff sitting beside us while Burtus sang to us with the power out. I also vaguely remember a limbo... and one of the girls getting sick in a potted plant :P All in all though, it was an awesome day and totally worth feeling like death today, haha. It was really sad saying goodbye to everyone that I knew I wouldn't see for awhile, but it was such an amazing few days.. i wish I could do it all over again!

Skinny Dip in Kao Sok!

So, after my hospital adventure, Colin and I met back up with our new group of travelers in Bangkok and it was off to Kao Sok for another great adventure! We've started off at the floating Bungalows in Kao Sok national park; accommodations made of bamboo and equipped with a mattress and pillow... but there's nothing more beautiful than opening your bedroom door and being able to jump out into the lake! On our first night there we all had a chance to bond with drinking games and singing out on the deck while Dennis played the guitar, but we also bonded with some good ol' skinny dipping when the bungalow lights went out. A good 15 of us stripped down to our birthday suits and drifted along with nothing above us but stars... it was pretty awesome.

On our last day on the lake, we hiked into the jungle and cooked lunch in Bamboo bark, then did that "bamboo walk"where you walk on the bamboo over the water like a tightrope, and then we headed into Smiley's guesthouse (back on solid land) to get ready for the epic day that was The Jungle Party!
