We went rock climbing today. This was both our first times so though we only did relatively simple climbs, they look quick scary when you're up there, albeit with great views. I made the mistake initially of scurrying up to quickly and making myself too tired for the tougher bits nearest the top. While I initially approached it as if the ropes were only there for safety and you had to achieve the climb without using it, on the longer climbs using the rope to take a rest became a necessity with my puny arms and it appeared that most others were approaching them in the same way. Szilvia, with her Lara Croft gear on, looked much more the part and scrambled up expertly.
We then made our way to Koh Lanta. Accommodation appeared to be at a premium and we got the last room in what turned out to be an overpriced, unfriendly and poorly maintained hotel, the only redeeming feature of which was it's good location and very nice (independently owned) beach bar. Don't go to Lanta Pavilion Hotel.
