Having booked no travel beyond my ferry to Koh Tao, and realizing I wouldn't have enough time to really enjoy Bali (where I originally intended on ending my trip), I've opted to spend more time on the islands here. And, since I was curious as to what Koh Phangan had to offer aside from Full Moon, I decided to venture back - opting this time to stay at a meditation resort called The Sanctuary. As it turns out, this is really not my crowd (half the people here are fasting and don't seem interested in talking about anything but their colonics, and the other half - those strictly here for yoga classes - will not stop raving about how spiritual they are), the meditation and yoga courses were both great, and the food was phenomenal. (Granted, verything on the menu here contains wheat grass, spirula, lemongrass, ginger, flax, or something else I've never eaten or heard of, but it was just so nice to eat real SALAD again.) Some other highlights of my last couple days here:
- Swimming out to the pier to watch the sun rise
- Lying on a hammock for hours reading travel magazines
- Learning some Muy Thai boxing moves
- The bats in our bathroom
- Falling asleep to the sound of waves from outside the window of my bungalow
