Sailing and Diving and Song Kran

Nikki joined us from Perth for a few days of good diving at the Similan Islands, followed by five days of wonderful sailing with Rob and Andries. We sailed around Pang -Na Bay; stopping at PiPi island, Krabi and a few smaller islands. What a great trip! One afternoon we sailed through a big and beautiful rain storm, with lightening flashing all around and I found it oddly calming just being at the mercy of Mother Nature. It brought home the idea that worrying too much about something you have little or no control over is pointless. Another great  life lesson brought to me courtesy of travel and one that was about to come in very handy!
Thai New Year or Song Kran,(water festival) is celebrated around 13 April each year. In Phuket and especially Patong, this translates into a 48 hour water pistol fight and crazy party.One Nikki followed on from  the other Nikki as our party partner and we just kept going until we staggered onto a plane bound for SA on 15 April.
