Two wild chickens

The nights here are so challenging... we wake up in the morning so tired, completely unmotivated, that it really takes some time before we get up. Our motivation is always the delicious breakfast with our landlady. What we notice is that many people here are really not good at arithmetic and the calculator provides a necessity.

Afterwards we tried to make a plan for our further trip. What can we say?! We failed miserably at the task. We had several ideas for the itinerary for the next two weeks and they all had something going for them, but none of them were convincing. We didn't even have different opinions, we just both didn't have an opinion. That really made us feel a little humbled and in a bad mood. Then we decided that it would be better to just see where we wanted to go tomorrow and then keep looking. Since planning is absolutely contrary to our motto. But we didn't even know where we wanted to go tomorrow.

Without further ado, we decided to rent a scooter 🛵 for today and use it to explore the island. The best decision! Even if it took a lot of effort for both of us. (Mom & Dad cover your eyes and just skip this paragraph). For about €5 we rented the “good scooter”, which we named Scooby, for the day. We were immediately surprised because it still had to be refueled. There are shelves all over the streets that contain glass bottles filled with gasoline. Our rental company also filled our tank with one of these bottles. All right then. We just drove off, Nina in the front with Ronja in the back. Two wild chickens. With a helmet of course! The island offered us long stretches of greenery, a very wide variety of plants, our friends the monkeys, many bars and restaurants, as well as beautiful views of the sea. Also in some places there is a lot of traffic, people and rubbish. But we stayed relaxed, allowed ourselves to be overtaken and enjoyed the wind. The pure freedom of simply stopping whenever we wanted. Perfect weather, friendly people and the realization that you have to overcome your fears in order to achieve something great. Despite everything, you should of course approach it with some caution. Be considerate of each other. It was such a great trip.

On the way we stopped at a cute beach bar and ordered a cold and a hot matcha, the first for both of us. We really wanted to try it. Unfortunately we had to leave the cold one as it was very bitter and not to our taste. The hot one was okay, but we probably won't be fans and will stick with the cappuccino.

We enjoyed the sunset today in a very special place. We turned down a side street towards the sea and found a small eco lodge from which we could watch the sunset in a very relaxed manner, equipped with fruit shakes. It was really quiet and kind of magical. Really nice. The sky looks different every evening and we are already looking forward to the evenings to come on our trip!

Nina also had an unpleasant, painful experience today. Something had bitten or stung her in the bottom. After a burn pen, anti-allergic medication and some cooling, things quickly got better.

Tomorrow morning we will be picked up at 7:20 a.m. to take a speedboat to Krabi. We don't yet know what will happen next. Maybe we'll just decide where we can go tomorrow afternoon. Adventure. Without a plan. Aimless. Without plan and goal.

“Hey, is the fan completely off now? Yeah, when I melt tomorrow you can watch..”

Until tomorrow

Ronja & Nina
