Back in beach-mode and just back from a morning-run along haadrin beach now enjoying the fresh pineapple, the tasty watermelon and powerful bananas that grows so naturally in Thailand. And a cpl of toasts to not be too healthy.
After a beautiful catch-up, a lot of love, as usual, and an introduction to the "wildlife" in Bangkok -Khao San Rd, we took the train, simple as (hmm), to suratthani to then continue by boat to Koh Phangan. It's insane how they miscalculate everything but still manage to keep track of you, all lost and alone, in the middle of nothing, in this, what feels like, enormous country.
So with a 3 hours delayed train (thank god we were on it cus we got a good sleep) we ofc missed the boat and got picked up by a private car who took us to a place to wait for a bus, to leave us somewhere else, to wait for another bus to take us to the boat and so on....
Whatever you ask and whoever you ask, whenever, there is never an answer. It's either "Oh, very very long time" "Very very far", "Can not" or "Okay". The meaning of these lines will forever be a mystery but the beautiful thing about Thailand is that
Everything is Possible (it really is). Just always keep in mind, that what you plan and expect, is not gonna turn out the way you thought. Not a country for controlfreaks.
So -24 hours later, exhausted and disgusting as... , and we ended up, over our budget, on Delight resort, Haadrin *Vinkar till JiJi å Brorsan*
There was not a cell of my body that had the energy to walk arnd and look for a decent place within our budget after that trip. (And poor G, he had just landed after a 26 hours journey from NZ as well).
Anyone realize how far away NZ is? Whow..
So being back here obviously brings out memories and sensations in my being, connected to things that were parts of the major change in my life last year. Many of you already knows what I am talking about and I have chosen not to mention it on this blog that much cus it's been a challenge I've had to deal with myself. I used to be surprised that things didn't turn out the way I predicted them to, but today I see the reasons behind and how I needed every single happening and emotion to take me to where I am today.
I was surprised when I walked passed my favourite massage-place when this beautiful woman looks and me, runs towards me to hug me and asks about me and my brother. Oh my.. Then she gave me a massage, and she remembers my body as if it was yesterday. "Same usual?!" and I got my
Alli-special <3
Besides this, not much going on. We try to live on curiousity in the moment but my ego and fears are forcing me to plan the nextcoming months. Anyways we are preparing for Vipassana in a temple north of BKK (silent meditation retreat) and Reiki-courses.
As you might remember, I mentioned Vipassana in Auckland a cpl of months ago . I obviously didnt do it (thats why I havent told u), because of many reasons. And I am still not doing it, just here as a support, because to use the techniques that I am used to, is absolutely forbidden. As well, as an old prisoner of anxiety and panicattacks, I am not recommended to do it, even though I am in total control (on this level). Maybe these are just excuses for my own fears. But thats Okay. Still no Vipassana :P
(Will, I know you'd say that I need to do it, just because i fear it. But no, still no.. ) xo
Okay, end of rainseason, not that sunny, but warm enough! <3
Bisou my loved ones!
