Our entire Chinese New Year vacation was immaculately planned! We started in Phnom Penh, Cambodia were are hearts were broken for the victims and families of the Khmer Rouge. In Siem Reap, Cambodia we experienced the wonders of Angkor Wat at sunrise, and ate the most delicious food the world has to offer. Upon arriving in Chiang Mai, Thailand our spirits were lifted touring Zoe Children's Home and hearing about the amazing work they do to rescue innocent children from being sold into sex slavery. We got a solid dose of fresh air and wilderness while riding Elephants, playing with baby tigers, swimming in a waterfall, hiking, and white-water rafting! We learned the secrets of Thai cooking and made lots of wonderful dishes. We saw Palaces and Buddhas galore, and took tons of excellent photos along the way. We flew, cabbed, bused, (church)vanned, tuk-tuked, and even took a sleeper train! So now what? Well this leads me to our last full week of vacation - ISLAND TIME!!!
Our first full day after flying into Phuket was spent touring a few of the islands Thailand has to offer. We visited Koh Pi Pi (most known for the filming of "The Beach") as well as Monkey Island and 2 others whose names I don't remember. During our tour we even went snorkeling, which was AWESOME! After 2 days in Phuket we were off to Koh Penang ready to hit the beach all day and Black Moon Party all night!
Surrounded by techno music and neon lights we did what any Black Moon Culture crazed party animal would do - got neon paint tattoos of course! Mine was pink and green flowers (surprise, surprise) that went totally down my arm! Rebecca's and Blair's arms were also streaming down with flowers while Camden decided to get real crazy and have a gecko put on her arm! The party was crazy, and an experience to say the least, but a lot of fun as well!
It was definitely a vacation that will last a lifetime with wonderful new friends!
Oh, you are so gorgeous everyday!
