There was tons to do in Railay! Of course, on the first night none of us got to take advantage of all the fun, because nine of us got super sick and get held up in our bungalows. Having already had my hospital stay in Chiang Mai, being sick made me more home sick than ever. Kate (my equally ill roommate) cried for her boyfriend Ryan, as I cried for my boyfriend Ryan, as we sat together on the bathroom floor with our group leader Jeff. Oh poor Jeff... on the floor with two ladies as they cried for their men lol. And, while I had a master plan to find myself the next flight home and go home to my bed, the sickness soon passed and I had a record breaking day of amazing Railay adventures!
We visited a school and played games and sang songs with the most adorable children. Then, from one extreme to another, we stopped on the way home to go bungee jumping! It felt as if the only thing holding me in was two yoga matts around my ankles and a bungee chord... but it was so much fun! I jumped with Janelle which made it a lot easier. In the first few seconds of the drop all I wanted to do was scream... but Janelle did enough screaming for us both so all I could do was laugh haha!
That night we went to get needle tapped bamboo tattoos after a dinner of crocodile meat, and then sang kareoke at an open mic. night. Then, when it was all over and done with, we hopped on the Ferry and sang along with Dennis on the guitar for the ride to Koh Phangan.
My tattoo was the quote "not all who wander are lost'' written in thai, and the more I travel, the more I feel that way. I can't wait to see what comes next! ♥t
