Moving on...

How do you exit a vortex?
That is the question Todd and I started to ask ourselves several days ago. Its not that we didn't enjoy Ko Tao, because we most definitely did, its just that we were becoming a bit too complacent. Complacent with our money (nightly beers weren't factored into the original budget), and complacent with our time (lots of sitting at the restaurant talking about where to go next).
Adn our amazing new friends made it even more difficult to move on. Andre and Sarah have been a real hoot to hang out with, welcoming us into the community at the Black Tip Resort and joining up for some real adventures (Andre, we'll always have Venice ;). Plus we got to know some other great people like Tyler and Nadine, and of course when no body could find a lighter, we could always turn to Patches!
So it was no easy task removing ourselves from the vortex of good times, but we knew we needed to see other things and gain new experiences and friends. And now we're in Bangkok, for a few days as our Visa is nearing its end. So far Bangkok has been significantly easier to adjust to than Phuket. Sure there are go-go bars and prostitutes roaming the streets, but its not as in your face. So Bangkok is a fun little stop-over before we head towards our next unkown adventures, which will be taking place in the dense, green jungles and ancient derelict temples of Cambodia.
We could spell out our plans for after Cambodia, such as travelling up the Mekong River towards northern Thailand, exploring the Buddhist Temples, and hill-tribe villages of the Chang Mai region, but honestly, who knows what even tomorrow will bring?
So when we know, so shall you.
