This quick getaway was a living-it-up-a-little treat for Rosanne and myself. An amazing deal surfaced not too long ago, we impulsively booked it and took it one step further - We threw caution to the wind and made absolutely no plans or research for this trip. And… we loved every moment of our aimless, no-frills vacation.
Koh Lanta, Krabi is the largest of 52 islands in an archipelago protected by the Mu Koh Lanta Marine National Park. It took us three hours to get to our resort from Krabi’s International Airport. In that time, we obediently sat through two painfully slow car ferry rides, felt every hump and bump of the dusty roads and just when it started to get unnerving, our idyllic resort came into view.
At that moment, every trace of tiredness left our weary bodies and we were instantaneously zapped back to life. Our welcome drinks were waiting for us when we arrived and after showing us around the grounds, we were escorted to our lavish room.
Ravenous after a lengthy journey, we ordered in room service and were sprawled on the gazebo; gleefully waiting to masticate our dinner.
Three days flew by in a jiffy and like all good things, our almost perfect vacation had to come to an end. Almost perfect because… On my 2nd day there, my royally clumsy self missed a step, there was a look-ma-no-hands descend onto the gravely grounds and I rose to my full height with a sprained ankle and significantly red (and bloody) battle scars.
That little boo-boo aside, allow me to entice you with snapshots I’ve gathered throughout…
