Flying to Bangkok

I woke up early this morning still feeling the teqila in the system. The priority today is getting a few more climbs in before going to the airport, not sleep. After packing my stuff and switching my plane ticket for a few more days in Bangkok so I can celebrate Kristi's birthday there, I meet up with Curtis, Kristi, Michelle, Britney and Laurant climbing down on the beach. I head out with Laurant to climb the bouldery start to By Way of Deception 7A. The route is real hard and lots of fun! The Hanson brothers kindly lent us their bouldering mat but I only have 20 minutes to work at this problem. It's about a 10 ft roof that goes vertical and finishes up but the crux is right at the beginning. In 20 minutes I'm able to stick 4 moves and a bloody hand. After saying goodbye to all my friends I hop on a longtail boat to Ao Nang. I meet some German climbers that are on the same flight as me to Bangkok and we split a cab to the airport. Once I arrive in Bangkok I meet 2 girls from Britain headding to Khao San road and we take the bus together. We get some dinner together and then browse the merchant shops for clothes and trinkets on Khao San.


Here's a picture of Kristina (because she was complaining that there weren't enough photos of her in my blog) in the Saawasdee Guest House where we were staying.
