More Pictures

This one is actually in India from the top of our hotel our last two nights in Delhi. The park next door was hosting some sort of strange play for children. There were police with rifles on top of nearby buildings as this was during the bombing scare in Delhi. Very spooky!



This beautiful view was about all we saw of Bangkok when we first arrived (as we were both horribly ill).



Alicia and I on our arrival to the beaches of Koh Tao.



Local cats spinning fire at the beach bars on Koh Tao. One of them had a 5-6 year old spinning fire, and he was actually really good.



Here is the first (and probably best) of Alicia's play time photos at the lady-boy show on Koh Tao. For those that missed the original post she got pulled out of the audience by one of the ladies who loved her for dress-up-and-dance at the end of the show.



More madness of Alicia and friends. The lady in the mostly see-through outfit to her left has, lets say, had some work done...



This is the ladyboy who loved Alicia. She was super fierce.



"Hi everyone! Don't you love my hair?"



"Where am I?"



Just look at that hair.



The cast and Alicia. As silly as the whole scene was, these lady's do really love what they do, and it shows. All-and-all a very good time and recommended to those who may end up on Koh Tao.



A typical scene of the beach bars on Koh Tao. Drunk hookup-madness with wasted people everywhere. The person on the bar is actually one of the bartenders :)



Lunch with french fries and fabulous Alicia.



Beach time on Koh Tao. This was about 100 feet from our bungalow. Not so bad (leaving aside the massive cockroaches of course...).




Me in the hammock in our first bungalow at the Sanctuary. We spent five days in a nicer unit with a seperate bedroom and open front area looking out over the jungle and ocean below. Very peaceful until about 4:30 when the mosquitos came out.



Part of the view from the hammock. To the left was a slice of ocean and more trees.
