The day came when it was time to dive with Manta Point. They picked us up in the morning at The Cliff and drove us to the beach. The boattrip only took 45min, instead of the usual 1-2 hours, because we were diving local this day. The dives were not the best we've done, and the visibility wasn't good. But we saw things I haven't seen before so it was cool. We say Kuhl's stingray, a sea horse and a pipefish. The people on the boat were all really nice and we got a lot of ideas about where we are going and which islands to visit in Malaysia. In total it was a very good day at sea.
The day after we took our stuff and went to Simons house where we are staying right now. It's utside town so we have rented a motorcycle for the three days we are staying here. Simon got us a good deal on the bike. Tomorrow we move back in to Ao Nang town again.
Yesterday we went to Riley which is three really nice beaches just 10-15min boattrip outside Ao Nang. There we did some cliffjumping, Maria almost fainted so she climbed all the way down again. Then we planned to go to the lagoon which is up in the woods. This resultet in a hell of a climb trip with several 90 degrees cliffs to overcome. There were some ropes to hold on to, but it was scary as hell. Maria is much better climber than me so she had no problems going up and down while I how almost can climb had a really tough time. First we went to the viewpoint there it where alot of monkeys so we took some pictures and went for the lagoon.
It took us about 45-60min to get to the lagoon because I hesitated alot before I climed down, it was easier to go up, but it always is.
After all the climbing we met a really sweet monkey at a climbers place on Riley east. The monkey seemed to have a good life there. He had alot of bananas and nuts and they let him free from his chain once in a while so that he could play.
Went with longtail to the boat

Tomorrow is diving on the schedule and the day after is Songkhran which is a big waterfestival when whole Thailand has a big watergun war. We have been invited to join a team, so we are around 20-25 people and we have pick-up trucks with loads of water in the back so if you don´t want to be wet, stay inside.
