This is my last full day on Koh Lanta. Bright and early tomorrow morning, the van is scheduled to arrive to take me to Krabi airport. Theoretically, I have tons of time. Flight at 11:40, van to arrive at resort 6:45. But the journey to reach the resort is still fresh in my mind, so I am not totally convinced that I won’t be sprinting across the tarmac as the plane taxis down the runway. Time will tell.
It also looks like I’ll be reunited with a couple of pieces of art that I inadvertently left at the bus station in Krabi when I arrived. The guy at reception called them this morning, and they said they would get it to the airport for me…a miracle in the making?
The tide is high this morning so I spent a couple of hours playing in the water. Truthfully, it is not as refreshing as the pool which tends to be a bit cooler at the start of the day. The ocean is so warm that I’m barely aware of a temperature change when it touches my skin, but sometimes if I swim out a bit, there’s a hint of coolness.
As I’ve mentioned, the resort is surrounded by water.
These signs are all over the resort and all the way into Sala Dan, pointing the way to safety just in case… A little disconcerting given that I saw some of the devastation following the 2004 tsunami.
And on the other side of the spectrum, the grounds are tinder dry as they bake under the tropical sun. Though not a lush time of year, nature still manages…
