Crazy Horse!

Due to some lingering jet lag, I'm still waking up between 5 and 6 every morning. It's actually kinda nice having that extra time in the morning.  


After a delicious breakfast of steamed rice with an omelette on top (a delicious combo I would never have thought to make), I  headed out to Crazy Horse with some new friends from the hostel. My goodness this place is incredible! Beautiful limestone cliffs with caves and tufas and climbing everywhere. 

We spent all of our time in one area today and still didn't get to all of the climbs we wanted to. This cave had a few really fun climbs inside of it.  Also, check out the massive honey bee hives all over the wall.



These climbs were on the other side of the cave. It's painfully hot and humid when you're in the sun, but the climbing is so fun that you almost forget about it.


After climbing I finally had a chance to ride a scooter around. Most people ride scooters or motorcycles of some kind in Thailand. The best part is that this hostel lets you borrow a scooter for free. We took them down the road to explore the town a little, check out the local market and stop at 7 Eleven  (my toothpaste was confiscated going through security at the Singapore airport). Despite having to drive on the left side of the road and move into the breakdown lane when cars came up from behind, I had an absolute blast. Definitely doing that again.
