Missing Ko Chang

I am really going to miss Ko Chang. Staying at Oasis Guest House has been perfect--clean, comfortable bungalows with the best semi-outdoor shower I've ever experienced. The shower was to die for. One of those giant shower heads that releases a massive amount of water, a waterfall shower head, I think is what they're called at home. There's nothing like a quick, refreshingly cool shower in the tropical heat, made just that much better by the stunning views of the jungles, alive with monkeys and birds. I wish my camera was working so that I could take a picture.

The owners of the guest house, a German man and his very pregnant Thai wife were hospitable beyond their duty, and the food they served never disappointed. I hardly ever ate at other restaurnats on the island because their food was so good, and very reasonably priced.

Lounging was what I did most during the past few days. In a hammock, on the beach, floating in the warm waters of the Gulf of Thailand. Arriving in Bangkok tomorrow will be a shock to my system. Noise, people, cars. I'm not looking forward to it. I am so going to miss Ko Chang and the sanctuary of Oasis. And where did the days go?!? When I got here, I thought a week on this island was going to drag on, that I would get bored. Never, not once was I bored here.
