Krabi Day Three.

Well, after all the sun & sea and adventures, we finally come to a day of relaxation. No more heart attack. As it was raining cats and dogs in the morning, we actually called up the tour agency to cancel our tour. But was told that the rain will stop by the time we reach our destinations. So we just carry on wif our Tiger cave, Jungle trekking, Emerald pool and Hotspring tour!


First, we went to the Tiger Cave Temple. There's two staircases wind up the limestone cliffs, the first one with 1,200 steps to the top of the mountain offering a superb 360 degree view of Krabi. Reaching the top will reward you with an incredible view and a huge sitting Buddha, a golden pagoda and few other small constructions. But pity we dun hav enuf time and energy. In the end, we only ended up wif climbing up the second one (only 130 steps!) which leads into a valley where the monks live in simple huts.


This is the gigantic fallen tree in the forest. The tree fall was due to the storm!



Then we proceed to the nearby 'Guan Yin Temple'. There's alot of monkeys hanging around the temple.

After that, we went to the Emerald pool. But to get to the pool, we will have to jungle track thru an 8km forest. That is where Michelle dropped her camera and broken the LCD screen. So from then on, there'll be no pictures to show... Sob... Sob... The jungle trekking wasn't very fantastic since it rained in the morning, the whole forest was very muddy!

Upon reaching the emerald pool, we're pretty dissapointed cos it's flooded wif the locals and the pool was dirty looking... Still we swam there... hehe... After 30 mins in the emerald pool, we proceed to lunch then to the Hot Spring. We're only allowed to dip ourselves in the hot spring for 20mins. So the fun was pretty short. The hot spring was very relaxing and there's a mini waterfall wif hot water. Bout 42C. Awesome...

We took a nap on our way back in the van as the journey is about 2hrs to Ao Nang. As usual, we had dinner at the hawker centre and went for another massage to end the night.

The very next day, we took our own sweet time waking up late. Had our breakfast then stayed in the room playing poker cards. Then we head out for lunch and head back to our resorts to continue our cards game and prepare ourselves to check out in the afternoon.... =)
