We're at Ko Muk on the way down to Langkawi (Malaysia). For the last =
36 hours I had some kind of food poisoning with the added joy of all =
my muscles aching like I'd been hit by a train. The food poisoning =
symptoms have gone now and my muscles still ached this morning but 3 =
advil sorted that out. Kerry's got a bit of the same today but in a =
milder form it seems. These vegetarians have much tougher immune =
systems than us meat eaters I think.
Ko Muk (Muk Island) has a cave called The Crystal Cave. We went around =
there earlier today but it was so full of tourists swimming into the =
cave in little neat rows of orange life jackets that we decided to =
come back later today when all the tourist boats have left.
Yesterday we spent the night at a tiny island north of here called Ko =
Waen. We anchored next to a cliff where some sea gypsies were living. =
They live in a platform that hangs from the side of the cliff and they =
had a solar panel strapped to the side of the cliff face for =
electricity. This morning a boat arrived to deliver water to them. We =
think they are collecting birds nests from the cliff face which is a =
local delicacy around here.
Tomorrow we leave for Ko Phetra, a long thin island that runs north to =
south about 6 hours sail from here.
