THE HONEYMOONERS

Bradley and I just finished our gourmet breakfast consisting of jams, pastries, fresh sqeezed pineapple juice, eggs, and coffee. We have been waking up here about 6:00 A.M. everyday! Yesterday was our first excursion outside the resort. We went on a tour called Jungle Safari. We left at 9:00 A.M. on a bus to start out on our first adventure, White Water Rafting. Bradley was very excited, I was VERY scared. The guides on our boat were completely insane. They spoke no english, didn't wear helmets and made sure we hit every rock in the water at an extremely high speed. I have to admit I was so scared I even shed some tears after seeing a girl fall out of the boat, hit a sharp rock and the tour guides were loving it. So as for rafting, i think i'll pass if I have the opportunity again. From there we went on a crazy drive in a Range Rover with about 10 Aussies. The tour guides hang off the back of the truck as we headed down a mountain (again pretty scary) . The Australians were great company and we hung out with them for the rest of the day. We got to the elephant camp and watched an elephant show, then rode on our own elephant. There was a guide who sat on the elephants head, and we sat on the back. Of course we got on the elephant who decided to fall when walking. He kind of tripped and his back leg fell, so from then on I was terrified. I'm glad I did it, but it wasn't too comfortable and again our tour guide was crazy. The last part of our excursion was riding ATV's around a dirt course which I personally loved. So in the end we left our new Australian friends and headed back to paradise. We were both very tired and craving american food when we got back. So I took my book filled with pictures (thanks Steven and Lauren) and showed them a picture of cheese and bread and french fries. Twenty minutes later we got a knock on the door from room service. It was the grossest version of cheese I have ever seen and some weird tasting chips. I have to say I will be very happy to have some pizza, cheeseburgers, and french fries soon! Thats all for now, khob khon kah (thank you) for reading the longest blog ever!
