There was this one moment in Koh Lanta, which I will treasure for many many years to come.
Kairit and I were enjoying the sunset by the beach. As the colours got more intense, a girl walked into the water in order to take what I can only assume would be "the holiday picture of all times". She took it and then started heading back. With each step, she left a trail of moving water reflecting the fiery colours of the sun. For a brief moment, I thought that I had been sucked into some sort of magical universe and that someone was stiring a cauldron in order to make one of those very special potions... Unforgettable.
Other great moments on this peaceful island include
- Ene picking me up in her scooter and us going around the island enjoying the magnificent colours of the twilight;
- Kairit and I riding a tuk-tuk to Koh Lanta National Park, which can only be compared with a roller coaster ride - seriously, how is it possible for a motorised vehicle to capsize before the start of the journey and then stop two times half way up?!
- Monkeys taking away my sunscreen and Kairit's vitamins - amazing how the little ones manage to open a bag as naturally as they peel a banana!
- An elderly couple looking at me walking after pulling a muscle on my left leg - I swear I could hear them thinking "man, we thought we had it bad!".
